Its saddened me to see that no credit is given to Grin, from which you forked.
Credit is given to Grin in our white paper and when GitHub is public. We will give credit where it is due.
Indeed; this is essentially BitGrin (Grin + Bitcoin emission + mining tax) minus the Grin acknowledgement.
When asked earlier what distinguishes this project from BitGrin, they claimed it has no mining tax, which it now does.
There are key differences between Epic and Grin/Bitgrin, and this difference will increase as we progress on development. And again, we do acknowledge Grin in our white paper and soon to go public GitHub.
The budget emission is 8.8% first year and reduces 1.1% every year until zero. This is relatively much more modest than some coins and will help ensure we can continue developing and promoting. The ultimate goal is to transition from using a foundation to a decentralized autonomous organization.
How much does the board receive from this? And why is it that there exist only 2 people on said board? Why hasn't any of that Epic yet been distributed to those responsible for developing the platform to this point? Why is this "community project" being governed by one person who is now on medical leave?
