I think whitepaper is just a summary, so it's not very detail. While the source code is everything that make Bitcoin run, probably there's other thing that didn't mentioned in whitepaper besides halving.

POS = Proof of Scam, stay away from POS coins/tokens.

It is best to have the bitcoin github[1] as reference since all the updates and upgrades are mentioned on that repository.

To be more accurate, on lines 1752-1763.

Code: (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/validation.cpp#L1752)

CAmount GetBlockSubsidy(int nHeight, const Consensus::Params& consensusParams)
{
   int halvings = nHeight / consensusParams.nSubsidyHalvingInterval;
   // Force block reward to zero when right shift is undefined.
   if (halvings >= 64)
   return 0;

   CAmount nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
   // Subsidy is cut in half every 210,000 blocks which will occur approximately every 4 years.
   nSubsidy >>= halvings;
   return nSubsidy;

Was it in there from the start or later added ?

To answer my own question:

Using deepgit 4.3 on Windows 7 german laptop with 2GB RAM, pagefile.sys/vmram 2 GB:

Code:

int64 CBlock::GetBlockValue(int64 nFees) const
{
int64 nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;

// Subsidy is cut in half every 4 years
nSubsidy >>= (nBestHeight / 210000);

return nSubsidy + nFees;
}

Who or what is sirius-m, in short SM.

Is it really Satoshi Moto ?

There were some shenigans along the way/changes/"going deeper"

One attempt to change 210000 block halving to 150 block halving, not sure why, maybe for halving testing purposes, or preventing miners from getting too many too early.
