Okay. and what does this have to do with anything? TanteStefana claimed there was a vote. Are you unable to understand simple questions?
Fine, I grant you it's not CERTAIN that Evan got a shitton of coins. It's still LIKELY given the circumstances.
What really made me WTF in your post is the "changing mind" thing about the emission schedule. That should not be changed lightly, if at all - you should know this.
This was something that was voted on. I didn't like the idea myself, and argued against it.
But the community was over 95% for it, so it was done. Another instance of Evan coming to the community for guidance. And there initially was no limit technically to the number of coins to be produced. The way the number of coins was limited was by reducing the emissions by 7% per year. Otherwise we kept the same setup. This calculates over the next 100 or so years as halving.
Also, Evan's initial estimates on how many coins would be produced assumed a lower hash rate (that it would never get so high as to hug the minimum reward).
