But I don't want to reach the limit of 42 fast because I do not know how to motivate people to support the network by keeping nodes online after the end of mining. Maybe we should increase the block time to 420 seconds/7 minutes, this will slow down the emission and also reduce the orphans rate?
1:3 swap, 1:4... 1:42 is not a good solution, in my opinion.
Even 1:2 swap is not very good for 42 coin reputation, further diluting can be considered as a scam by the crypto community.
The block time really can be increased, it doesn't matter a lot, as 42 coin is not a coin for everyday payments.
Edit: of course miners will vote to dilute the total supply as much as possible,
but to whom they are going to sell it finally? More coins will lead to lower prices, so nothing to gain.

no on swap / better snap shot, and just slide the decimal
example:
78 coins in old 42chain, become 0.078 on new chain; change reward to 0.00000042
fork to AuxPow / mergemining; when total coins hits 42 then it is TX fee only, like iXc is now, you'll have the hash still because Merged
