changing the block reward scheme is easy.
the hard part is programming the fork, updating the exchanges, notifying everybody and stuff.
Let's think it over for a couple of days and probably reach a preliminary consensus over the weekend.
With a great future, I am 100% in support of this coin and luckily enough probably can get enough funding for the purpose. All I need is continuing support.
With the final work .........
Lastly, with so much great mining hosting supports, it's no problem to drastically
increase block time to say 777 (and this would be the nickname of this coin) and block rewards can start at 16, as long as the network would be able to hand the future needs. This would drastically cut down the blockchain size, which when too big would make wallet client hard to handle its jobs and the wallet functions become extremely sluggish. Some coin(s) with a very short blocktime is facing such problems.
I'm strongly against increasing the blocksize. It would be a step back.
I think you are talking about the
block time.
It is true that a shorter block time make confirmations of transactions faster and more appealing.
The Joincoin has around 0.3 GB total blockchain files at this moment. It will very soon reach 1 GB if the blockchain advances at it maximal pace. During the life time of this coin, it has not reached the maximal blocks/day- mostly within 350-1500 blocks/day.
Most very-short-block-time altcons went through pump-dump-die, not having to face such issues.
It is still possible to leave the present block time of 45 seconds, leaving the need for solutions, say, 3-5 years down the road, when the next generations of faster CPU chips/computers might be out to prevent these issues. Or simply fork to a new coins with old wallet balances. The Bitcoin has a 500-second block time; it has a slightly larger total blockchain files size after around 9 year (since Jan 2008.)
I am fine with this- to leave alone the present block time of 45 seconds.
What about the halving time of block chain rewards? I think it should be longer one, again 777 days or 999 days is good. ("888 coin" is already taken.)
