End PoS early to pay for Mnodes and leave cap at 200 million and leave all other specs the same. This hurts only those people now who would be holding coins for those last remaining years of PoS if they intended on holding the coins for the full 46 years. Price will remain the same, value of what's in circulation remains the same, oc:btc price curve will be on target. This way also benefits no one, versus the select holders if we reduced the cap

This is a good paragraph. 46 years would take the sting out.

It wouldn't be 46 years, that's what it is now. We'd shorten POS to 39-40 years, if this option is chosen.

I see this but it still appears to defer the effect long enough to make it irrelevant.

Yet there is still a price for current investors, remember... all new coins created for rewards will reduce holder equity (now not in 46 years), while coins minted do not reduce equity, provided the holder is minting.

hmmm we have 3 kinds of oranges here

ppl trying to make the sweetest deal they can for their planned Mnodes
ppl trying to preserve the equity that was promised when they bought into the coin
and the devs caught in the middle

I'm more worried about overpaying the Mnodes than under. OC pointed out yesterday that the price of orange is going up, 10x and more. so maybe we should have some way to adjust the Mnodes rewards, keep them fat and happy but not obscene.

What I highlighted in orange is exactly what I was getting at, but you said it much better.

Edit: Your next thought, The 'price paid by investors' would be 20% divided by 39-40 years, going back to the orange highlight comment.
