So I'm a bit perplexed why my burn rewards got reduced by 90%.

That's the impression I got too, that mint-by-proof-of-stake rewards effectively replace mint-by-proof-of-burn rewards. But I haven't even tried to reference that perception against the reality of the C++ code.

It would helpful if there was an option to "turn off staking" on a wallet you want to use exclusively for burning.

Either -reservebalance=1000000000 as a command line option or reservebalance=1000000000 in the config file will effectively suspend staking (at least until the wallet's balance exceeds the amount specified). If you try that approach, I'd appreciate knowing whether the mint-by-proof-of-burn rewards resume their previous frequency and amount.

But a password-locked client allows mint-by-proof-of-burn whilst inhibiting mint-by-proof-of-stake. Useful to know.

Graham, two things I noticed:
1) The command line doesn't work in the console. I tried what you suggested, many variations of what you suggested, and many others. The line simply isn't accepted in the console.
2)The Mac wallet version doesn't appear to create a "slimcoin.config" file. Such a file doesn't exist anywhere in the folder. So what I did was copy another coin's conf file over and renamed it. Then I entered the line in the config file. Result (12+ hours later): The mint-by-burn resumed at previous amount and frequency (at least for now). Staking has stopped.

You wrote, "But a password-locked client allows mint-by-proof-of-burn whilst inhibiting mint-by-proof-of-stake." My locked Mac wallet didn't allow mint-by-proof-of-burn to happen. I tried leaving it locked for a few days.
