This has got to be it, nice find. The developer has no idea what he's doing.


Of course I suspected it to be a scam, but not to this extent... I'm sorry I bored you by presenting hard evidence of that, but I'm sure others in the community will find the information useful.

Starting to think no one's actually looked in to this!

With all limited coins, nSubsidy has a way to trend towards zero after a while. Some coins do this by halving the block reward, others by using some type of step function that eventually gives out 0 coins.

Litecoin, for example, halves until the subsidy is 0:
https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/blob/master-0.8/src/main.cpp#L1069

Mincoin just sets it to zero after a while:
https://github.com/SandyCohen/mincoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L837

Looking at the 42coin source code here... the is subsidy is always a positive number, forever.
https://github.com/fourtytwo42/42/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L835

So how are they claiming that it's limited to 42 total coins? Because it's definitely not, unless the thing explodes after the 1 millionth block.

What am I missing?

Huge bummer, I like MtGox but so far it's been difficult to get money out of the exchange in a timely manner.
