Is Bitcoin going to change its inflation algorithm?

[Jaime Frontero]

Indeed, for last 6 month I am offering every inflation proponent to fork bitcoin and create inflatocoin and so far not a single attempt, not even a hint.

They do talk the talk but they do not walk the walk. Do we have to fork the inflatocoin for them?

Actually GRouPcoin keeps pouring out 50 coins per block forever so all those who want inflatacoin can come on over there its already up and running.

except they're hosting account has been suspended.  a minor detail, i'm certain.

You know what is the principal difference between inflationary and deflationary currencies? Inflationary currencies facilitate transfer of wealth from children to parents, while deflationary ones facilitate transfer of wealth from parents to children. I, personally, prefer to empower my children instead of robbing them.

I prefer to pass solid investments which ideally helped to improve the world they have to live in or their growing up on to them.

I wonder if soeone simply domain squatted figuring they will try to sell the domain, or what?

It had not even occured to me to look up such a domain. What indication is there, if any, that it has anything to do with Unthinkingbit's groupcoin/devcoin project? Did they also register devcoin? Are they registering all three and four letter permutations with coin suffix? I believe there was some domain years ago called bitcoin, so what? It had nothing to do with bitcoin did it?

I don't understand what your point is? Are you implying the domain might be for sale? Why would we even bother buying it?

Is there a trademark involved or something like that?

no

Mostly correct, but a small nitpick: it's actually "fuck no, you retard, because the whole reason people joined was because of the asymptotically fixed quantity and you don't fucking changing the rules midstream, and it's not like any significant fraction of the user base is going to follow the inflatecoin blockchain anyway, go start your own damn project if you like inflation that much."

But yours was more succinct.
