Ok so I found a problem after looking at Presstabs explorer. Its the inflation. Fly coin held its value because of anti inflationary measures put in place. The only reason its dumping now , its because the fly wallet is in maintenance mode on yobit, and people are in panic that they cannot get their funds out fast enough before the swap. I am FULLY aware of the troubles with the fly coin chain stalled, and have used my own personal wallet, as wallet as the swap wallet to bring the chain moving again. It could take a few days. Im on top of it. I am also extending the swap for 30 more days because of this.
I dont want anyone left out of the swap. . I dont want the same stringent anti inflation measures put in place in VGS, in fact, I want the opposite. I want a secure, and fast moving chain. But after looking at our new explorer, I am seeing that the structure of the rewards are averaging 123% per year!!!
If this is not changed, it will kill this coin! To my knowledge no coin has survived long term (2+ years) with 100%+ inflation and still held most of its value. Fly coin was 50% for most of its first year and held its value nicely. Then the second year we dropped down to 25%. So We have an update ready to go to trigger the masternodes. I have no choice but to hard fork it to reduce the inflation. I know , I know, Im sorry. Its for your financial interest, and mine. We can probably get away with 50% inflation at most, and the reason is because of such a low coin supply right now. 50% is proven to hold for a year (see the awesome DMD coin). I am open to 35% inflation per year also. Remember , higher interest is NOT always best because it causes massive inflation. There are so many coins out there they are worthless. BUT, at the same time, very low rewards , do not attract buyers and miners. So its a balance. I would normally put up a poll, but this needs to be changed. For now I will fork it this way, and if the community disagrees, I will gladly put up a poll with many different options. I will put the fork out at a few hundred blocks, so everyone has time to get on the correct wallet version.
POW rewards per block (1st year): .25 VGS / POS reward .125 VGS
I going to be straight... I still dont know why we have a random 1 VGS reward blocks, and Im not sure if to leave this or not. I welcome your feedback and ideas.
