Any tendency to increase block time, for any reason, is probably a mistake. As coins get more popular, they will start making shorter and shorter block times to be more attractive as currencies. Longer block times are penny wise pound foolish in this case.

I do agree with this to an extent. However I think the most transactions that have been in a block for HBN have been like 10... We will likely never even get close to capacity.. 90 seconds is still very quick..

Will the maximum stake of 250 HBN per block be increased to compensate for the 3X decrease in daily staking chances?

TIA.

Actually this would not be necessary. The chance of getting to 250 woudl be less with longer block times, due to increase in difficulty.

I hope not... don't screw with the basics of the coin... it is what it is and it's why the coin isn't being de-listed or valued at .00000001btc... or worse... dodge...

On the exchange side of things, cryptopia will take their sweet time getting around to updating as they always do... but as long as we're using the coin they'll keep it... even at 2.23GB of memory...

Fair enough, we can wait until block 6.0million and see what happens once PoW leaves us.

I still feel like 30 seconds is way too fast. The original creator of the coin did not understand the implications of 30 seconds, and for the last few years the biggest complaints are CPU usage, wallet lag, orphans and lot of memory usage. All of which are exacerbated due to 30 second or faster block time.
