I definitely think (mostly because of the Jollyburner's posts) that the dev doesn't want to do a hard fork because the amount of PoW he is doing with his wallet of min 192 mil right now is quite good for him, and he doesn't want to change things.
Did anyone mind to calculate how much the dev get from this damn 193 mln grain a day? Simple math:
193 000 000 * 0.05 / 365 = 26438 grains.
Taking to the account that the average block reward is 726852974.82745504 / 99345 = 7316.45251223 it roughly equals to 4 found blocks. Yes, this estimation is very rough, but what we are speaking about???
Edit: sorry, I forgot about block #1, so the more precise estimation is (726852974.82745504−500000000)/99345 = 2283.486585409, so 12 blocks. But I believe he deserves it for the work he is doing. Would you start your own coin on completely volunteer basis?
AVERAGE block reward? Dude, what the hell are you talking about? One of the amenities of grain is the halving of the blocks on some point. And the first batch of the most tasty blocks with largest reward is being mined right now by the largest wallet (bosian) and not by REAL miners who give hashrate to network, because a coin without a good power in hashes behind it is a bad one.
I only want an explanation - if this is going to be fixed, when will it be performed. Yet the highest reward blocks are being mined vigorously while the dog barks.
Does the dev deserve these coins, as it was asked above? Definitely yes.
Did he make this coin for himself? Partially yes, but in general NO - it was made for people. It means that even earning 25000 GRA roughly on a wallet while a common miner needs to spend 8 MHs on the same amount, when the overall real network hashrate is about 40 MHs - is this presumed to be normal? Hell no, it is not.
And I don't like the whole story of Jollyburner and Bosian, and the way the last one has been ignoring direct questions about PoS influencing PoW until this topic could no more be ignored.
