As a Clam holder I would appreciate ending the digging process. Especially since it has been a while. People who are interested in Alt-coins probably have heard of clams by now. The end of digging could bring more interest and money into the coin.
Is it possible to prevent further digging though? Isn't digging just using a previously unused private key to move coins. So to prevent that we would have to remove the ability to send coins which were initially distributed but have yet to be moved?
Yes, and as a bitcoin holder I would like it if they stopped block rewards. We can stop staking for clams too.
The whole point of clams is that they were fairly distributed, just because some have taken longer than others to dig theirs, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to.
I agree that stopping the digs altogether is not the best solution.
What about a halving of the Dig rewards in May 2016 (2 years from the launch date) as indicated in the previous page?
We can expand this further that every subsequent halving would be twice the number of years as the previous one.
The dig rewards would look like this:
May 2014 - 4.6
May 2016 - 2.3
May 2020 - 1.15
May 2028 - 0.575
May 2044 - 0.2875
May 2076 - 0.14375
May 2140 - 0.071875
coins and cut them in half next year instead.
Save CLAM by leaving it the fuck alone.
