I would like to see another zcash fork, it should have segwit from day 0 and the following distribution model

number of blocks: reward

131071·1: 16384
131071·1: 8192
131071·2: 4096
131071·3: 2048
131071·5: 1024
131071·8: 512

Instead of having a halving every 4 years or something, wouldn't it be better to increase the time between each halving according to the Fibonacci numbers?

5738812664: 0.00390625
9285593924: 0.001953125 (now after 28655 years at least 9 decimals will be needed).

It continues like that forever resulting in a total supply of 8589869056 which is the sixth perfect number. 25% is mined before the first halving, 37.5% is mined until the second halving and 50% is mined before the third halving. The numbers above are for a blocktime of 60 seconds resulting in halvings after 1,2,4,7,12,20,33,54,88,143,232,,, years and i believe this is the ideal distribution(25% mined after 1 years, 50% mined after 4 years).

This is just a suggestion in the case someone plan to start a new coin, for a PoA coin the block reward would be split into one PoW reward and one PoS reward after 1572852 blocks.

Marketcap(including future coins) needed for secure network assuming a 10x in price is needed for the same security after halving

1 years: 100000$
2 years: 1 million $
4 year: 10 million $
7 years: 100 million $
12 years: 1 billion $
20 years: 10 billion $
33 years: 100 billion $

If the new coin is successful the price will increase enough for the network to remain secure after each halving, of course most coins fail and then it does not matter how good the distribution model is. This distribution model can be applied to any new coin but it is most suitable for pure PoW and i actually think pure PoW is the best solution when implemented properly.

assuming that the difficulty can be increased at most 0.5% per block(adjusted every block based on the previous block time).

The advantage with fast block time is
-the difficulty can be adjusted more quickly
-more confirmations can be done for a given time(makes <50% attack harder)
-A solo-miner or small pool will receive a more even income of new coins

the disadvantage with fast block time is that the effective hashrate decreases which makes it easier to do a >50% attack. The typical blocktime for altcoins seams to be 60 seconds, however their is some exceptions such as fastcoin(12 seconds) and geistgeild(experimental, 15 seconds), both these have bean running for a large period of time, wordcoin tried a target block time of 15 seconds but changed to 30 due to a lot of issues with orphans.

The blocktime can sometimes be a lot less than the target block time, especially during instamining

I am working with this coin http://odincoin.boards.net/thread/1/odincoin and i am not sure what is optimal.

most coins today uses a scheme where most coins is created within a few yars, but some coins (such as dogecoin) uses a reward that only drops to a specific value. in the case with dogecoin it's 1% of the initial block reward, but then the miners will also recieve transaction fees(i think this is the case with dogecoin) with my currency the final block reward will be at least 10% of the initial one but what do you think is optimal?

this is supposed to be a general discussion, but if it turnes out to be about my coin i will change the the title and first post.
