Dude, it's a little late for an ICO. People are already mining and the coin is on an exchange.
The best thing you could do would be to take a premine and burn the rest of the coins.
If you wanted to do an ICO then you should never have allowed mining to start. And besides the coin is already being traded on an exchange. How do you have an ICO for a coin that is already being actively traded? It won't work.
That is too high
Ya I have to agree if you are going from 50 coins per block to 250 coins per block that really hurts the people who have been here since the beginning with you so I would just keep it the same or minimum double it The best thing you could do would be to take a premine and burn the rest of the coins.

one of the most important issues with changing key instruments is that it must propagate in the network properly. i will make a decision by the end of he day and have the client out before 14:00 GMT.
this is very delicate and i wish to avoid multiple forking, as a result, all old clients will be disconnected the moment we switch to the new retargeting scheme.
it has been reported that the changes i want to make , while safer than introducing kgw or digishield, will likely result in wild swings in difficulty, as a result the gap needs to be smaller and the adjustments more fluid.
at block 8000 the reward is meant to skyrocket to 250 per block, a few people have told me it's too high, that instead i should increase the halving period but reduce the reward to 100. this will increase the value of the coins held by those who are mining now, while keeping an ample money supply.
i see the merits in the argument, but i'd like to hear from the miners themselves.
