Ether Amount Development

[x13]

Guys, this is probably a very simple question but I really searched the web to get an appropriate answer about my question for the development of the Ether amount over the upcoming years. As far as I understood, Ethereum will be POW until the next software release. Then it will be POS, right? However it is not POS in the way I understand it, so there is no fixed Ether amount similar to NXT or NEM. So what is the yearly inflation of Ether?

If there is a good source where it is explained then please point me to this place.

The next major release milestone is called Homestead. After that is Metropolis, and after that is Serenity. The switch to POS will not be active until Serenity (which is likely going to be late 2016 or early 2017).

Current inflation rate is 5 ETH per 17 seconds. Should be changing to 5 ETH per 15 seconds in Homestead and likely to stay that way until the Serenity release.

We actually do not know the details of what inflation will set at after Serenity. It has been said that it will be *significantly* lower, and possibly even zero. As the release date gets closer for Serenity, they will release all the details.

The total premined Ethereum is 72 (60+12) million. Every year will be 26% more of the original amount, 18.72 million new coins appear.

100million total.   After POS in 1 year inflation will be zero

Where is the reference of the PoS interest rate? I thought the inflation or the interest rate could be 2% a year.

the development on the Project are great it,s a coin with a great potential for highest rate of return. Demand drives speculative price increases and the masses that sit on their coins limit the available supply. demand will ultimately drive the Price of ethers. the next developments  should should drive the up the price as long as the demand is there

Not the fact that cancel POW, and which mode is activated, it is known only to the developers approximate)
