I think these are still similar situations. Quark is only producing 400$ coin/day. They have to incentivize miners in some manner if they want to keep the network strength up. PMC needs to figure out how to incentivize network strength as well.
Food for thought:
Quark - 247,000,000 QRK initially mined. 1,000,000 QRK mined each year after. 0.004% mined each year roughly.
Premine - 500,000 PMC instantly mined. 0 PMC mined each year after. At 0.01 PMC tax per transaction, it would take only 200,000 transactions to reach 2,000 PMC which is 0.004% of 500,000.
Yes, I know it's not quite the same, but it should give you an idea that mining for TX Fees isn't that bad and it's similar to mining for Quark......kinda.
I agree with you completely, that's is similar to Quark. But I'm talking about the end of a coin. I was wrong about the end of Quark. Quark isn't a good coin to compare to because it has no end.
