Bitcoin is inflationary right now and in fact it will never stop inflating...This experiment to stop inflating in a few months is a disaster.
Besides, if you believe this:
Milton Friedman predicted crypto currency in 1999 the NSA had a design built in 1996 and the rest is history.

Friedman's k-percent rule
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman%27s_k-percent_rule"Friedman's k-percent rule is the monetarist proposal that the money supply should be increased by the central bank by a constant percentage rate every year, irrespective of business cycles."
If you don't want to take my input, maybe listen to Friedman...
So frictionless minimal proposal of 1% fits Milton Friedman.
You just want to retain and exploit your 3% stake, that's crazy for adoption and miners have no incentive with no transactions so no fees. Defies logic.
You argue IXC will have greater liquidity by being mined out, then argue against increasing liquidity. All for selfish reasons.
Agree with your statement about the lack of incentive to secure the network. This of course assumes that the interests of the pools are the same as the miner. Generally it is.
I continue to favor a 1 coin per block mining rate after we hit the limit. Others may disagree, however let's see what indeed happens. The code fix is indeed trivial, however what is not trivial is if a pool like GHash.IO removes IXC from its merged mining... that is not a trivial event to fix... that will absolutely kill the coin.
