Thanks for the article! Great work as always. I'll be sure to contact you when we release news in the future.
Regarding the poll and ANN post, I will try to arrange for a restructuring of the ANN post to accomodate for new pools, links to downloads and mention of the forums on hirocoin.org The poll for a block reward change and coin supply reduction I'd like to hold off on. The reason is that it is not the root of the issue of HIRO's falling value. At the current supply rate and HIRO exchange rate it does not require anything close to an unwarranted amount of buy support in order to maintain its price. It also wouldn't take much to maintain a much higher price.
I'm open to discussing why it is necessary for a change and if a unique and creative scheme is brought to the table I'd gladly bring it to the rest of the team for discussion, but as of now what I wrote above is where is I stand.
Thank you for responding, I respect your stance.
Of course it's not the root of the problem now, because we have ~54m coins in circulation, that is very small amount, but in the future that will be the stumbling block to success .You might say let's not jump ahead of time, but when the community will get larger, they will bring up inflation model at some point and that's were it will be unfair to change the inflation model IMHO.
In your previous posts you mentioned that it will be bad for decentralization .Let's be realistic in this unrealistic cryptoland,there will always be small percent that will hold greater amount of coins then the rest,it's not a problem for them to accumulate how much they want, whatever the coin supply is, even in bitcoin(that's may be one of the most unfair distribution of coins in crypto) 100 people hold the 70% of coins if I'm right.The benefit of so called "early adopter" thing, that's stomps the concept of decentralization the crypto promoted in the first place.Sorry I digressed.
Let's do the math.
In 1 year at this rate there will be~260m coins in circulation.
If our marketcap now is 70 BTC with 54M coins. We need to rise 380% in one year (it's ~1% a day), to only keep up at this price of 130sat e.g. if Hiro in one year will rise 380%(that is great mark) and it's not a sure thing that it will, our coins will still be worth the same.Yeah in crypto 1% a day is nothing but people who buy a coin expect it to rise in price not stagnate or worse fall, and quickly losing interest and jumping ship.That is the essence of the community in cryptoland unfortunately, therefore the success IMHO.
And another suggestion.
Is it possible to implement maybe "reverse dynamic block reward" e.g. decreasing and increasing the block reward between 50 - 400 according to market data (price/volume) in order to absorb the coins, I don't know any other coin implemented it or not, if not that might be an innovative feature.
Also we must do something in the marketing front asap.
Lastly, I want to thank you for all the hard work you are doing for Hiro regardless of our differences.
My English is limited as you've noticed, and I apologize for that.
