No more catering to miners or investors. The primary focus is giving karma time
That is why i am few opinions away from pushing to change karma to a 92 million total coin
these two statements are completely contradictory.. reverse splitting a coin no matter how you do it is manipulating a coin to suit a particular agenda. abusing a coin in this way IS catering to the desires of investors and miners.
don't kid yourself.
the entire history of this coin should give you all the convincing you need that messing with the coins fundamentals only results in losing people.
this is what happened when the coin switched from Scrypt to X11. People initially thought it was a good idea.. but then began dumping after the initial hype wore off. The end result was very little gain and a lot of money and time wasted as well as people from the community being lost along the way.
As for the idea of relaunching a new Karma with fewer coins and getting people to move to the new blockchain,
if you want to see a clusterfuck in progress then just take a look at startcoin.
Relaunching an entirely new blockchain and trying to get people and exchanges to adopt the new blockchain has turned out to be a complete nightmare.
there is absolutely no evidence that reducing the number of total coins (no matter how you do it) provides any lasting benefit for a crypto coin.
on the contrary, the many coins that have tried have ALL failed, I have not seen one example where this has been done and actually added value to a coin.
this is because the people who call for these kinds of tricks are only doing it to benefit themselves and not addressing the real issue..
the real issue is how to grow a healthy and vibrant community. In my opinion the best way to do that is to avoid accusations of manipulation, scams and pump and dump schemes.
this is ultimately why Karmashares failed, because after all the hype, promises and press releases all that people got for investing their coins and hopes in Karmashares was a bad taste left in their mouths. And that bad taste led to a torrent of scam accusations, in-fighting and verbal abuse which drove the price through the floor.
to be quite frank and honest I am very tired of people bringing up the same old schemes to put lipsitck on a pig just make karma look attractive to buyers. if you want karma to be adopted by the mainstream then work towards growing the community organically and building services that people actually want to use and not trying to sell people coins they don't want or need.
I am working on ideas and services that will use karma but to be quite honest with you all.. the more you talk about messing with the coins internals the less I want to be involved and the more likely it will be that I launch my services on a more stable platform.
Kosmost may have not to lived up to the dreams and expectations of his own investors but he was right about one thing... this community spends way too much time focussed on how to get rich quick and not enough time focussed on growth, adoption and usability.
