I guarantee everyone if the devs reduce the block rewards to 25 coins every ten minutes we will hit 20,000 by the end of the day and it will stay there this time and keep climbing.
You're basically saying turn KDC into a clone of Catcoin (though with an even smaller block reward).
Today's exchange volume for CAT across its primary exchanges: 11,295 CAT (or roughly 5 BTC)
Today's exchange volume for KDC across its primary exchanges: 169,843 KDC (or roughly 10 BTC)
Just by those metrics alone, I'd say KlondikeCoin is arguably the more successful coin as it is. And once again, Catcoin has been "fixed" a couple of times already. All your proposed fix would do is make the current KDC holders "rich" and leave a lot of pissed off new KDC coin holders, and drive off miners completely.
