I have yet to hear one solid argument or reasoning from the camp that proposes nothing be changed to XC's code. All I hear from this camp are personal insults -- how can they be taken seriously then? I for one do not take anything they have to say seriously.
Besides insults, they make the argument that "This is the dev's original plan" -- Are you serious? This is an argument? Businesses in the real world adapt to meet the demands of competitive markets all the time. If a potential superior business plan is proposed by one of the team, it would only be ignorance and poor management to not give it serious consideration. And good businesses listen to the ideas and innovations of their employees. All of this is the same for any alt coin.
Other than this, they make the argument that "The coin will be successful no matter what" -- The argument was never that XC would NOT be successful. I have repeatedly stated that they will be successful if they deliver anon tech. The argument however, is that XC's success and longevity will be optimized if they change the mining phase to either reduce total supply (by reducing PoW mining phase/rewards) or if they extend PoW mining for years (by greatly reducing block rewards).
Again: The main problem with XC is that 75% of the total coin supply will be minted in a 2 month period AFTER it's biggest selling point has already been delivered. This is what I am proposing needs to be addressed by either of the options above.
Either the 75% supply # needs to be reduced with a shorter PoW phase, or it can stay the same but have a PoW phase that is extended to years with reduce block rewards. One of these should happen if you want to protect and ensure the highest chance of longevity for this coin.
We need more data analytic's on the blockchain and current POS/POW blocks... but I would be interested in getting some details on people who are staking, and their current stake weight stats...
i love this coin, and trust ur decision, i do wish the reward blocks or something was reduced so mining could continue and or less coins entered the market as quickly as planned, i would love to see this coin under btc were ltc is now, and i believe you can do this, yes i want my investment to be worth as much as possible, but your the boss, and i respect your decision, thanks for this awesome crypto, and my chance to be apart of it. i fell like i just bought btc at $1 again, never thought i would get that opportunity again
