Groupcoin, 50 coins per block. Devcoin, 50000 coins per block.

I suspect some out of GeistGeld, Coiledcoin, Tenebrix and Fairbrix might also have constant coins per block.

Doubloons have a constant reward of 6.77 coins/block.

I believe the genesis block had a 0 coin reward.

The first blocks of goldcoin has 10k I believe.

From the linked thread:

"2.5 minute block targets

Block rewards in order:
200 Block @ 10000 GLD
2000 Blocks @ 1000 GLD
Remaining blocks @ 500 GLD"

so for about 8 hours people were getting 10000 GLD per block. Then the next 3.5 days people got 1000 GLD. Now people only get 500. So in the first 4 days over 4 million were mined, and then 288000 are mined each day thereafter.

Why such a high number per block? And why do the first few blocks have massive rewards? That is not constant!

I really do not feel like looking through every single alt-coin, but I was wondering if any has yet been made which copies bitcoin without the reward dropping over time? This is like the biggest thing people say is bad with bitcoins, that the block reward changes over time, but it seems like every coin I look at has the exact same release schedule baked in, the block reward halving every X number of blocks?
