Re: [ANN] [VIA] ★ Viacoin ★ ~ the future of digital currency ~ ★
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. 
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.
I've been silent for a long time, but ill take my chance here as I see a maybe big opportunity: if I understood you correctly, its up to the community (and well yes miners) to agree on bigger changes to the consensus like the reduced coin supply/inflation that llildur implied. And youre up to "suggestions" if enough community members push it - and will implement it? Please correct me if im wrong...
Why im asking: as I was a supporter for the merge mining fork, I would also LOVE to see a reduction of the overall supply.
It could give some market action back and obviously benefits current holders - or in other words: all the people who still believe in this project even through these tough times.
Only downside I see is that it would need a hard fork (?)...but Todd and you have shown in the past that youre more than capable of that so personally I think the risk is pretty low.Anyway to sum it up: would be cool if we could have some discussion about that like we had with the merged mining decision. Calling everyone to action
First at all i have to say that i think via has plenty of room to grow up, one of the main features why i invest in VIA is because this is not only a coin is a platform 2.0 to issue new contracts or colored coin upon it like mastercoin, counterparty, etc. you may say that this projects are build upon BTC blockchain but one good example that this is not a requisite is PPC with NUSHARES and NUBITS, my question is why VIA is stagnant, why this lack of interest in timelockverify if this can be used in a bunch of ways to solve problems, maybe the great inflation ratio is keeping away potencial investors, if this is what it has to be done in order to move forward why not? fork is not that bad, even others coins like CLOAK come from the deadyard with a completely new approach and a code from the ground up, the most worrifing thing to me is that seems nobody are eager to come an build upon this platform.
