I agree that Monero has a very steep emission curve. I think this is the only weakness of Monero and is the only chance another coin (like QCN) might overtake it.
Otherwise I think Monero is doing everything right and has the best community / developer team of all cryptonote currencies.
Just a question here, I'm just a user and have no association with the developers at all.
What would people say if the emission curve was changed?
So we never change the number of total eventual coins, but the emission is tweaked slightly?
For example, if Monero had two minute blocks instead of one minutes blocks, but kept the reward the same, so that we essentially get half the release per year?
So something like 3,000,000 coins in the first year instead of 6,000,000?
Not that the developers will change it, I just wanted to know what people thought for myself. How many against that idea and how many for?
Because MRO has first mover advantage and a bigger development team we should be leading volume, hashpower and price by far, yet QCN is catching on (Has about 30% of our volume, price and hashpower) just because they do not have to endure 2.5% inflation per day.
Again, I just wanted to see what people thought about that, not that it can be changed anyway.
