200,000,000 new Devcoins are generated every month. Much more than BTC, LTC or any other altcoin. That's why the price is so low.
Wow! Whats the estimated max for devcoin?
no cap. 180,000,000 per round (3-6 weeks based on hash rate -- last couple rounds have gone quicker so i suspect hash rate has risen). 50,000 coins per block, so yes, price will naturally be lower than coins with lower supply. the intent is longterm sustained funding of open source development, with a large scope in mind.
