Total Supply update: 1,222 Genesis claims brings the total supply to 1,222,001,222 Pocket tokens. Here is a screenshot of a confirmer bot console of the "GENESIS DEACTIVATED" message from a couple hours ago:
How fair is the distribution?
That's the most important question now. If one person owns 10% of the supply, that would be pretty unfortunate. I own about 5 Million pocket myself (accounts @biophil, @philipnbrown, @ozymandias, @gentlebot, and @thing-2 plus whatever dust is in @pocket-a), and I'm not the only one with multiple accounts who made several claims.
It looks like there were quite a few shill/sockpuppet claims in the last several hours; at some point I want to publish a good list of accounts so that people can try verifying the fairness of the distribution. I haven't done much to assess it myself, but there are several single accounts that have several million Pocket. Here is a list of the balances of the largest 20 accounts:
- @musclenerd: 4999993
- @flauwy: 3000998
- @chrisx: 3000395
- @justinashby: 2999998
- @vedvati: 2999998
- @cmp2020: 2001000
- @pkvlogs: 1999999
- @troyvandeventer: 1999999
- @jeffjagoe: 1999999
- @zorg67: 1999998
- @helex: 1999996
- @wekkel: 1994346
- @ozymandias: 1900001
- @kenny-crane: 1499998
- @baus85: 1221000
- @ibringawareness: 1099999
- @mrstaf: 1099998
- @captainobviou3: 1096898
- @chefcryptoshark: 1069883
- @bbrewer: 1049889
None of that looks bad to me, but there may be other owners who didn't transfer all of their Pocket to one account. For example, I'd encourage people to look into a family of accounts with celebrity names like @melissa-mccarthy.
So now is the time for the community to do some soul-searching, see if you think the distribution is fair enough, and then carry on.
Based on the information provided in this post and all my experiences with Pocket, I would say distribution was fair. By the way, what an awesome number of tokens at 1,222,001,222!

Great, I keep getting good feedback like this about the distribution. It's very encouraging to me that the community is happy with it!
And yeah, I had a feeling the final number was going to have a nice ring to it :) But... if we'd had one less claim, it would have been a palindrome: 1221001221. ;)

In my opinion, and note I am no expert at any of this, but to me it seems that everyone of us with Pocket Tokens needs to get them out on the market.
Produce a demand for them by utilizing them in contests, sales of goods/crypto and so on.
Supply and demand.
If we don't do it, then remember that those who don't have them definitely won't.
So it is in our best interest to start placing them out onto the market, get a part of what we have out there to people who have not claimed their stake and make this Meta Token worth a pretty penny to people!
Simple as that, or is it?
Correct me if I'm wrong!

I think we should just having fun sending it to each other for tips on all Steem Apps. The value will come by using it and at some point, an entrepreneurs or dev will come up with a marketplace . It remind us the early days of bitcoin. Satoshi and others where just playing and sending it to each other for fun till some one offer 10 000 bitcoin for a pizza :-) So let's have fun guys!

Personally I think distribution was as fair as it could be, considering the fact that the tokens were for free and many Steemians have multi accounts. Just got to know that gentlebot and thing-2 accounts are yours. A great respect for that. Those 2 bots are the best bots on Steemit, when it comes to selfless serving.

I think the distribution was fair, now we need to answer the next biggest question; what next?
What's going to happen now, what are we supposed to do with these tokens. Are these tokens just for tipping or do they have other tradable value?

I find the notion of fairness of distribution to be rather strange.
To the best of my perspective there have been no downsides in participating in this - whether one has one or more accounts to claim upon.
Indeed some soul-searching is required. It'll be interesting to see what behaviors emerge now that the pocket pool has been completed.
The genesis is historic. I am curious to see how the next chapter unfolds. :c)

I'm curious what you mean by this.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I can see how that could be seen as ambiguous in meaning - my apologies. :c)
I mean that there was a consistent window of opportunity for those who signed up.
True, such necessitated hearing about Pocket tokens, and thus people could miss out.
True, those with more accounts could claim more times and the rules made reactive account creation pointless.
However the rollout was as consistent as could reasonably be expected - and those who claimed got precisely "what was written on the tin".
Furthermore the uncertain utility of pocket (at least to some of us) further complicates quantification - and quantification is a useful element in determining that which is fair from that which is not.
I trust that this clarifies the line in question? :c)

Yep, got it. I'm not really worried that anything I did was unfair. The question of fairness is more about how uniformly distributed the tokens are among various accounts. If someone got 100 million tokens for free, I'd view that as a problem for a token in which most people got only 1 million tokens for free.

Nice to see myself on the list as number 15. I have only 1 account to claim with, got some gifts and earned and bettet the rest together. I'm curious about whatever people come up with to integrate POCKET further in Steemit and if it develops some kind of fixed value (POCKET/SBD). Personally I forsee the value in the future as 10.000 POCKET for 1SBD but time will tell us...

Just an IDEA.
How about you organize a fundraising effort where you approach everyone with Pocket Tokens to donate lets say 1001 Tokens to be GIVEN to the Minnow Support Project.
So that MSP can incorporate them into their projects once the value shoots off.
PS. If you do this, don't forget to include the TAG "fundraisers"

After all it can't hurt to try, you gave them out for free and the MSP is helping a lot of people, all of us in fact, so it would be nice if we GIVE them some to use for MSP.
