Any name for the coin?

And how about difficulty goes up 10% per so many blocks high hash but goes down 50% per same amount of blocks when low hash.
As the coin dies if it does it gives the little guys something to mine.

How about

Reverse payout scheme. Difficulty up ----> more coins for the miners.

So you get the same amount of coins always. Grin

100MHASH = 1 coin per day.

If the networkhash is 1GHASH, 10 000 coins are given to the miners every day.
If the networkhash is 100GHASH, 1 000 000 coins are given to the miners every day.
....

Expensive, but secure

Good for the miners, and not so good for the investors.

Good idea but it means emission is unpredictable which means less speculative investors will bother.

It would need some real world use or some incentive for people to hold it.

But if the emisssion have a roof value and the graph is not linear, could be bether than the slow start of zcash.

True. But anything's better than Zcash's slow start imo.

~34 days from 0 to 12.5 means exactly what we experienced; crazy high initial price followed by a continous slow dump because the slow start is basically nothing but a super high inflation period which makes it a stupid idea to invest into it during that time.

But by the time the slowstart ends, the price is already low.

And then the blockreward staying the same for 4 years is another stupid idea because it's just another super high inflation period.

It made sense for bitcoin because barely any people mined it back then and now that it's established it doesn't matter. I might end up working for ZEC in 4-8 years but by that time it would also very well end up being ancient tech.

I think Zcash should have started with something like 6 ZEC per block and after the slow start the blockreward should have gradually decreased over time. There's no reason not to do a gradual decrease instead of the old school sudden halvings every 4 years.

A slow start is absolutely needed to prevent instamining.

Yes it's a stupid idea to invest from the beginning during slowstart, why do you need to invest immediately? That's not a problem.

SP says a lot of things, I'll believe these things when I see it. It's just as easy to say I'm going to be making a coin and it'll be released in the next decade, fair for everyone, amazing technological innovations, anonymous transactions, and large whale investor support! It's like the tagline for every trash coin released in the last three years.
