Regarding the node count, a rather technical point, just there turning POS would make sense. For attracting POW hashrate one needs more solid economy baselines and the coin supply got mined almost completely. Price low, too.
Agreed. I think POS makes more sense.
Of course would be adding some tiny amount of inflation, people WILL use that against you on price prediction discussions. When beeing all fresh&young (know, tiiiime ago) I was wondering about bitcoin inflation where nobody talked about. Like 9.19% of total supply incoming fresh, and each year.
Below 2% yearly inflation people would not start to argue, most national economies are heading for a similar inflation goal.
yea +1 for going PoS and low annual rate. but what flavor? PoSP? Blackcoin? need to get those nodes staking ...
