Burning that many coins would be nice for COLX price development but personally I think we shouldn't be stealing funds from our own community at all. OR we should vote about it (and only burn a percentage accordingly).
From page 1:
Unswapped coins: Once the swap is completed in 3 months all excess ColossusCoinXT unclaimed coins will be destroyed by Nova Exchange(*)
and no more CV2 Coins will be accepted.
*: Reserve 5% for initial funding of services and to get added to Bigger Exchanges (such as Bittrex.com).
For that purpose we will be selling COLX Masternodes to larger Investors. So the current plan is to burn 95% of the unswapped coins at the end of the swap period.
If 3.6 billion COLX are distributed then 8.4 billion would remain.
5% of 8.4 billion is 420 million, or 42 masternodes worth with the current requirements.
Deflating the COLX economy is NOT stealing funds from the community, its quite the opposite!
It is also an AMAZING marketing opportunity.
Agree that whatever happens need to be decided by the community. Fortunately COLX has consensus tools we can lever out of the box.
