everyone is screaming about 5000 blocks per drop in pay. its 5000 pow blocks per drop in pay. even if total blocks is 15000 from pow pos it still has to hit 5000 blocks pow before the pay drop
which to me is a dam nice schedule.
If that is the case, then why did the block reward change from 1.00 TOPAZ to 0.99999999 Topaz after block 5000?
Something obviously changed in the block reward calculation. Also, how do you figure out how many blocks are PoW and how many are PoS? Block height does not seem to differentiate, and commands such as getinfo and getmininginfo return only a block height... there are no separate block heights for PoW and PoS. Seems far more likely to be a math error on the part of the dev, but it is advantageous to miners. Scoop as many as you can before the dev gets back from his/her trip and corrects the code.
