You are losing time with all this voting etc. You should be a dictator to make the coin live. Make a decision, make a fork, let users decide wether to use it on not.
I actually agree with this. A dictator in the spirit of Cincinnatus is the best we can hope for at this moment. For those interested in history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Quinctius_Cincinnatus ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

As you wish master. 1. Low inflation is a must. 2. Higher masternodes requirement is a must. It's annoying to create 10 masternode wallets to have a full advantage of it. 3. I do not like coin aging idea. Not sure how 8bit is organized, probably a fork of PPC. Someone expirienced enough could tear off coin aging from the code. 4. Bootrstrap file would help to have wallet ready faster.

Like i consented before, increase cost to 888 (by popular demand, for marketing reasons, and practicality). Let the pay-out system be as it is, its high profitability is one of the key aspects of 8Bit. Its the reason why many dared to venture into this coin. The system is stable enough, the future is modest enough, let it be. Have others for consult but decide for yourself who speaks truth, then carry on. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) If you need time, take it. If i'm wrong price should naturally destabilize significantly, if i'm right it should remain stable. Set a period aside to see what the market does, then decide.

Community voice is not consistent here. That's why we will vote. 2. Result of voting here is easy to predict. Cost will probably 888 maybe even higher. 3. I know what is it forked from, PoS code origins from PPC like always. What do you mean by aging? Time required to start staking? 4. I have already published boostrap on new website, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1028119.msg11736308#msg11736308

int64_t GetProofOfStakeReward(int64_t nCoinAge, int64_t nFees, unsigned int nHeight) { int64_t nSubsidy;
if (nHeight > 11499){ nSubsidy = static_cast<int64_t>(1.2 * COIN); }else if (nHeight > 1888){ nSubsidy = nCoinAge * COIN_YEAR_REWARD * 33 / (365 * 33 + 8);
Since block 11500 coin age is no longer taken into account when calculating PoS reward. EDIT: I misunderstood you. You said you are not sure how is it organized. So clearly answer is: our PoS is not affected with coin aging stuff. Have anyone tried to use boostrap? Didn't work for me.
What does it mean it did not work for you? Details please. I hope you have uncompressed (7z) it first.

Made a copy and renamed to bootstrap.dat. Wallet is starting without any notice about bootstrap and continue to download blocks from 5 weeks ago.

Have you launched your wallet with correct parameter? -loadblock=boostrap.dat-20150628_91334 boostrap has to be placed in same dir where wallet executable is. Or wallet directory. I don't remember. Otherwise you have specify full path to boostrap file.

It is harder to attract small investors since the whales will be moving the value of their investments down over time.

Well... if you ask for bootstrap file I expect you know what do you ask for. This is just how bootstrap loading works in every bitcoin clone.

I used bootstrap for Hyper by simply putting it into the working folder. BTW I run with the -loadblock arg and do not have any difference. Blocks are loading at the same speed as before.

Right, this behaviour has changed in Core 0.7.1. Now file can automatically imported. 8BIT supports it. Rename that file to "boostrap.dat" and put to your data directory (where wallet is).

As I've shown that the current setting are capable of storing value. We have a rare & undervalued coin, as market grows let supply grow accordingly. Cutting supply makes the coin extraordinarily rare, if it is too rare it won't be of any use. The high inflation rhetoric does not fit with fixed increment as it does with regular compound interest rates.

The high inflation rhetoric does not fit with fixed increment as it does with regular compound interest rates. You are right. I am new to this coin and do not actual numbers of the inflation rate. Can you calculate for me current inflation rate and rate after 1 year? I saw this quote At that moment inflation will be 10% per year. If it is the right number I can tell that it is a fine level of inflation and it will be less in the future. How is inflation affected by the masternodes BTW? I heard MN are more profitable than staking so actual inflation could be higher...

Maybe your expectations are too high. Bootstrap is about skipping p2p download, blocks are still validated. It takes time especially on low end or busy boxes.
