Just another small investors POV here, sounds like a good plan Maestro1, much better than the original coin code.  Without your proposed changes IMO the price will crash hard & the coin abandoned in less that a year otherwise.  However, with these changes a much better long term investment vehicle is created, one I'm looking forward to enjoying a share of.  Still that appeal of creating an early adopter frenzy is in place for months to come, time will tell thanks to the team effort here.

As to the stake age, its an interesting question, pretty much in agreement with the original development there too.
