<too much post>
Now I can hear you! I really don't have a great understanding about the inflation rate and where it should be. I will say, at current adoption, your level sounds too high.
BUT, as things pick up, I can imagine it making more sense. The match behind all this is beyond me and I'm not sure if the creator really went deep there (and Satoshi with BTC as well.)
As far as coins failing and such, I think we need to see some failures happen within the next year, as currently there is a lot of dilution going on. That said, there needs to be more
than 1 or 2 Cryptos imo. The reasons are vast but difficult to communicate for I intuitionally (not institutionally ;-) see the Cryptos organically interacting with one another in a manner not yet seen (but in years from now).
Looking forward to how this all rolls out,

The problem with a failure right now , it's how much impact will it have on the rest of the networks.
Let's say a clonecoin dies. Nothing will happen , many have already died. Let's say a top 10 coin suffers a 51% attack and 18mil$ are turned to dust.
All the pow coins will be doomed.
There are some failures that even though you're learning something from them , are just so hard that you won't be able to recover from them.
As for my inflation idea , I already stated , I have nothing better than that and I don't consider it the best around , even by far.
