I hold some via but my concern is the huge inflation of 30% annually gonna kill it, no matter if this coin has been the most developed as many argue because the crypto space is evolving in a pace that via can´t afford without resources/developing or associations linked to real world, moreover BtcDrack just sits silent without answer concerns of this community watching how this drama unfold, there is no roadmap not a single word in this beheaded thread just some brave believers that prefer to think everything is ok because someone is working for them behind the scenes, the leader has to assume their on character and keep the people inform of every stage for good or for bad, answer just to tech/irrelevant questions just aggravate this because he is aware but prefer not say anything about the real issues. Sad Sad

The miner subsidy was set at genesis, I'm not entirely sure what you are asking or suggesting. One of Viacoin's main purposes was to be an alternative platform for embedded consensus and specially not to implement any gimmickry (stuff that looks shiny but fundamentally doesn't work). I have already said many times we funded implementation of CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY and there will be a new smart contract opcode soon, once BIP66 locks in.

Regarding changes to the consensus code, I hope you don't think I have some kind of ability to force changes because I dont. We can propose change to consensus like we did with merged mining, and now BIP66 and it is up to the users and miners agree. If you want new features or whatever you should suggest them. I'm open to ideas and we can discuss features. But generally things like block times and block subsidy are fixed and cannot be changed. They are hard forks and are controversial.
