Title: Emmision rate of Zcash entrenched HODL
Post by: jubalix on November 01, 2016, 01:15:52 AM
I think the Emission rate of Zcoin is very interesting

It may be see that it encourages HODL on a never before seen scale.

It starts so low that people get used to the idea of not putting a lot out there, and trading in multiple amounts of btc.

This could translate to never b4 seen levels of HODL even when the emission rate picks up.

The question is did ZCash choose the right Emission rate to effect this balance, and will their be whale dumps anyway?

If BTC adopts a similar level of anonymity and it probably can with a better algo given it can look at the issues of Zcash, then Zcash is very dead, if its not already.

It says something that VB has had to come out and say we too at Etherium must do this.

Zcoin and Zcash aren't the same thing.

Zcoin's emission scheme follows Bitcoin's. Zcash has the slow start in place.

Note that Zcoin implements the Zerocoin technology while Zcash implements Zerocash technology so they're based on different cryptographic implementations and have its own pros and cons.

That is horribly confusing and who ever named them needs a slap in the dick-holster.  :D

And it's a sign we ran out of coin names.. i guess we went through the whole alphabet hahahhah
