That's not for me to decide.
Those who are creating the chain can include/exclude anyone they want.
For me, The "cleanest" ways to start a new chain would be:
(1) completely exclude the ninja mined stake and airdrop everyone else using the same format outlined in the OP.
(2) everyone starts fresh at 0 and see if its possible to get real decentralization.
I heavily prefer option 2 .......
Thanks for your opinion.
I don't see Hive as a new chain. And yes, this way we inherit the flaws. At least, we are aware of them and have the will, knowledge, energy to change / fix them. Time will tell how successful we will be.
Thanks for your responses.
I have my fingers crossed the sister chain is successful.
