Proposed New Block Reward Structure

As a community, we need to address the current block reward structure.  Currently, there are approximately 40,500,000 new coins minted every day with the reward set at 30,000 per block.  This was put into effect starting at block 51,000 to help those that lost coins due to problems with the original wallet. 

However, we now face another issue... and that is the value of our coin.  A lot of people (not all) sold off large quantities of coins and dropped the value of our coin hurting the efforts we make now as we try to move forward.  By decreasing the supply of coins, the value will naturally go up.  But we shouldn't do this too quickly as that may turn away new investors to the coin.  By gradually lowering the block reward over time, it also gives those who sold off a chance to buy back in and recover some losses.

A group of us have spent considerable time discussing the best way to proceed.  We have come up with a proposed new block reward structure as follows:

Block       Reward
 51000 to 144999: 30000
145000 to 189999: 28000
190000 to 234999: 26000
235000 to 279999: 24000
280000 to 324999: 22000
325000 to 369999: 20000
370000 to 414999: 18000
415000 to 459999: 16000
460000 to 504999: 14000
505000 to 549999: 12000
550000 to 594999: 10000
595000 to 639999:  8000
640000   +:      6000

This will take approximately one year to reach the minimum block reward of 6,000 coins. 

Changing the block rewards will require a mandatory wallet update, so we would like to implement changes at the same time the new wallet with the GUI update is rolled out.

As always, any and all feedback is welcome.

Thank you.

Just finished a 14 hour shift, so forgive me if I sound short, I don't mean to be!

There are lots of vocal people in this thread, all with idea's some bad some not so bad IMO only.

But there are also disagreements going on which from the outside look bad.

So we cant go on like this can we, it will just be going back and forth for weeks in here.

So I propose this:

I will set up a forum on the back of one of my sites, with a public thread where people can request to join the development of this coin, be it coding, PR, nodes, or any other thing you think you can bring to this coin.

Give us all a brief outline of what you can bring to LDOGE, everyone that wants to be involved at the top of the tree will then get added to a poll and voted on ( By everyone ) an be placed in that position.

Having been voted in I will then create a new sub forum, where they and only they can access, where they/you can argue over points in private, then when a consensus has been reached, can relate the information here in the now official ANN thread.

At the moment I'm sure we all look like a bunch a muppets in here rowing over things.

If people are happy for me to do this then please reply, and I will.

i turned all on again for the good guys 1 more time.

Cryptochaser, heavensopen, heath kid the community can thank you guys for it. Good to see people value efforts of others in their free time.
i forget some ppl i know for sure but passed out really early this morning and woke up 4 hours later. Thanks to those i forget also as they know who they are.

That was step two haha, once summer hits, to have variable frequencies.
So far I've only used the web interface, I assume I can SSH with the same root/root login on port 22 as well, then run various cgminer commands as needed?
Is there a software that could neatly schedule this and is scalable?  I was thinking for one or two I could just have them as local scripts on the machines, but would be more fun to have them all talk to a central computer or site that would report their temps, hash speed, frequency, on/off status etc, and allow global changes.

Also I haven't upgraded the firmware on both of my S5's and so far haven't had any issues with them not hashing properly.  Once I experience an issue, will probably try out updating the firmware
