I cannot speak for everyone but I can tell you it is very annoying when the terms of a coin changes....ie another PoW phase.

Coin liquidity and total available comes into play when making purchase decisions and all of the sudden when things change and significant amount of coins are released/availability increased then you are diluting the holdings of the initial supporters who are here for the specs originally set forth. IMO best to stick with the original idea and figure out other ways to expose the coin.

What if 42 coin became 42k coin or 42 million coin....would that be good?
