that was an unfair joke targeted at NVC. i'm sorry i did that, you seem to actually be an ok dude despite the NVC premine. i shouldn't have been so rude to you after you have been so nice to me. Btw, you are doing great work repairing PHS.
Thank you, but there is no premine exists in NVC. Anyone able to verify this fact using a block chain explorer and calculator. Of course, people are free to listen the ignorant or biased guys, but it's not a thing that our brains supposed to do.
That's why I'm using the "Ignore" button instead of arguing with them and I recommend anyone to do the same.
To me the premine isn't the issues, its more of the "total amount of coins" and the fact that it can be changed so easily? I was reading its not as hardcoded as the others
There is no reason to worry about, because MAX_MONEY constant is just a sanity checking threshold which has no influence on the real emission volume. The final coin limit is non-deterministic, because the emission is controlled by a functions of PoS and PoW difficulty ratios.
In other words, the final coins volume is non-deterministic, but it's still limited by growing difficulties and coins destruction. That's required by implemented security model, otherwise the Proof-of-Stake system wouldn't provide any security in the long-term.
P.S. Don't invest anything into the Proof-of-Stake system, if the developer tries to implement any type of deterministic emission model. Those coins are broken by design and doomed to fail.
