Someone who believes inflation is the way to go might create a fork in which nSubsidy never halves and there is no enforced ceiling on the number of coins.

No need, this is the condition in which GRouPcoin has ended up now that DeVCoin has sprung from the tests done using the GRouPcoin code.

Of course it is still feasible to use GRouPcoin to continue development of some of what DeVCoin no longer bothered trying for once it realised what it actually wanted was possible. But in the meanwhile GRouPcoin just keep chugging along as a blockchain different from Bitcoin only in that the 50 coins per block never changes and never ends.

Edit: oh wait, no ceiling on number of coins? That would have to be settled. I don't think we messed with ceilings yet, and int64 only goes so high in any event so would itself impose a ceiling...
