Interesting that at the same time hashrate moves down. Who will support the network while almost all coins are mined?
VIA is merge mined with LTC.
if all mined
can change to pos or other
and all mined need more time...
its merge mined, which means miners get coins essentially for free
For now you are right, but over roughly 115 days all 23,000,000 coins are mined and who knows what will happen then.
I don't think that mining pools will continue to support merged mining when they don't get a single penny reward for it.
no, even in 2030-2040 there will be coins rewarded for each mined block
just not as many as now, subsidy halving, and all that
and dont forget miners get transaction fees too
