Thanks for the votes. Would be great to hear your reasons?
Do you think artificially lowering the number of total coins unfairly favours early adopters? Would this stop you investing?
Yes. Yes. In addition such action would be considered as sign of a pump and dump.
imagine how scammy this scheme gets if they would also add something that gives out interest when people hoard coins! now the instaminers can slowly offload (drk i am looking at you)
i think that if a coin is published some features should not change or it is like betraying your investors. this includes pow or pos, max coins, time between blocks - everything which changes the money supply or the way coins are generated should be kept fixed (i dont think block size matters though).
if a dev really wants to make a few changes he should just fork his own coin into a new one and initialize it with the blockchain from his original coin. that way his investors can decide which route to follow.
