I think the initial "boostrap" producers should have "throw away accounts" that people don't vote for, everyone, including the initial producers, should have to register an account and a producer by the same method.
In my boot process there would only be 1 initial producer to supervise the election, but the community seems to want 21 initial producers. Either way these initial producers should not even be registered to vote (and don't need to be registered in order to become initial producers).
Thanks for all your brilliance and dedication, mate. If you ever find yourself speaking with Satoshi, please thank him for me too.
This makes a tremendous amount of sense. I don't understand the benefit of 21 initial producers over one or vice versa. I hope someone can explain it. :-)
