This seems to me a little like cheating.
Release technical specs of 250 millions coins, then drop to 100 million coins midgame.
Will price-doubling forks become a new trend for other dying altcoins like Maxcoin?
1. the inflation in this group is way too high, needs to drop, or our dreams all die.
2. those 1 billion, 100 billion coins are all piece of junk, either they die later with infinite supply. or they try to survive now with a bad instamine record.
3. reduce supply will reduce coin distribution, and reduce mining interest. so those devs need to do it carefully, or the coin gonna die again.
4. every coin owner is a shareholder of this company. If shareholders are happy, then those non-shareholders' opinion may not be relevant. because, hey, it is none of their business anyway. unless, existing shareholders piss everyone else so much there are no new blood willing to join the game.
I am not speaking on behalf of maxcoin, I sold it in each rebound. last at 0.00014. now, I have been trying to bid for three days, not a single bid got hit. but hey, if every dev can work on reduce the inflation in this community. that seems to be the right way to go. the ideal approach is, extending the mining period, but reduce the immediate coin supply. I don't think simply cutting half is a right approach.
here is the problem, the inflation rate in this community is too high. here is a game plan, if every other dev reduce the supply, and your dev did not do anything, your coin will still enjoy a price rebound. by the time your coins are all mined, your coin market cap will be larger than others.
