Title: What is the Darkcoin release schedule / inflation rate?
Post by: josiahgarber on May 19, 2014, 01:01:00 AM
Having a hard time nailing it down.  It's important in calculating whether / how much to invest.

Approximately 1 million coins per year, with that amount going down by 7% every year.

I believe Darkcoin is the only coin that uses inverted block rewards based on the current difficulty (the exact formula is in the Darkcoin announcement thread). The higher the network hash and resulting diff, the lower the number of coins awarded. As such, the number of coins released per year can only be estimated.

the next update for Darkcoin is the 25th of May when Masternode Payments will be enabled.

i suspect there will be a buy up between now and then

What you meant to type is, Darkcoin is one of the few coins that uses a coin emission method designed from the ground up to be a pyramid scheme.  The more hash you throw at it, the less coins come out, rewarding day 1 miners who got the 500 reward blocks even more.

What is worst case scenario if hash rate drops significantly in the future?  Is it capped at 1 million per year or could it be significantly more than that?

Translation: I didn't invest so now I bitch about non-issues. Cry me a river.

  The total coins is estimated closer to 21.3 but are told 22m~ lower is better so this is a good thing.

True, Darkcoin is the only coin which has build in A.I to adjust the reward. This helps people gauge the market value

 Darkcoin will have no problem maintaining hash-rate as X11 is cooler and faster. The reward system is unlike any other with profitability keeping the miner count up.
Masternodes offer an even greater incentive bringing constant buying pressure to exchanges
