For the sake of the social contract it can't be 1% or higher, anything equal or bellow 0,999% is valid.
Please elaborate. I feel like maybe there's something I'm not understanding.
If you read the first post on this topic it says:
[2] Proposed: minimum maintenance reward of <1%/year for mining incentive starting after approximately 8 years.
1. can you see that at the moment is just proposed? most likely will not be definitive
2. if says after 8 years, the problem is that we can't be sure if after 8 years the coin will be still alive so why are you always thinking that far?
