Stealcoin, go somewhere else and troll please. The Dev's are alive and working on some major projects -> as they should be.
Concerning block reward and 1 block re-target:
Kimoto Gravity well is not a bad idea. The re-target time is already quite reasonable, however, and I am not convinced that such a drastic change in order to appease the current miners makes sense. But what do I know?
I am against a change to the block reward. I think there is a slight disconnect in how this all works. In the beginning of a coins life, measured in months and years, the coin goes through a period of inflation. This is necessary, as the total money supply that the entire user base will ultimately use is minted during this period. At this stage of the life-cycle, there were no exchanges and you couldn't buy a toothpick with Bitcoins. This is the time period when real wealth is created in a crypto; the problem is that this wealth isn't measured by the current exchange rate. The coin doesn't enter the period of deflation, and large-scale adoption, until much later in the coin's life-cycle. Long after the speculators have left for what seems like a greener pasture, minting will naturally slow and the coin will begin appreciating in value. It is then that the dedication of those who have mined the coin since the beginning profit. This is an investment that lasts years, not days.
That makes good sense.
