yeah I heard it goes to 2 coins at 24 diff

It should be smooth transition between block reward changes, for example:

sbr - starting block reward
br - block reward

diff < 1 : br = sbr

diff = 1 : br = sbr*√1
diff = 2 : br = sbr*√2
diff = 3 : br = sbr*√3
.
.
.
diff = x : br = sbr*√x
Sqrt(diff), log(diff), or whatever function that provides a non-linear increasing reward is mandatory.  And also no need to round down to the nearest integer.  Fractional rewards must be given.  If this is not done then this is not a colossal fail, it is a fucking colossal fail.
