I understand what you're saying, but once the difficulty is high enough to lower payments to 5 coins, it stops lowering. So hopefully there is enough reward left to fight over and the hash will still be healthy. I mean, people are still hashing now, and the coin hasn't really even begun to rise to the price I expect it to.??
While most people are looking at it from a "to the moon" perspective of getting rich... And I may be heavily invested in it myself, my primary concern is that. It still loses 7% a year below the minimum. No big really... My major worry is that the value will never peak high enough for this ratio you present to happen. We'd need $1,000+ DRK for that...
Reaching the minimum block reward is actually a good thing for mining profitability. Previously, block reward drops as diff increases, which effectively compounds the reduction in profitability. Once the block reward becomes static, it will be easier for the price to keep up with network hashrate.
Yes, but there also won't be any reason to mine... Giving The Bomb a place to live.
Lols, $1,000DRK and I'll never work again. But more importantly, if it DOESN'T happen, DRK essentially commits suicide. That would suck more than any amount of money I might make out of it.
