Yep, those wallets staking are just stealing coins from the customers that paid for their ION. The people that made it out of thin air are taking advantage of the people that paid good money for their coins. Not quite sure how this is seen as acceptable.
I would also like to know how the team staking those coins is controlling inflation? It seems like stealing more than inflation control. But what do I know...
Block reward is a fixed amount. Technically there should be no difference how many nodes are staking - the inflation should be the same. That doesn't mean they couldn't have messed it up somehow, genius developers and all.
Other coins that stake based on APY (e.g. Paycoin) would have variable inflation depending on how many coins are online. So if "inflation control" means "maximum inflation" then yes, they should put as many coins as possible online. This doesn't apply to ION however.
Only through the wallet, not on the website correct? Can I download the QT from the ionomy.com site?
Not quite, but it links to GH:
