ALL changing coin minting rate at this time will do is scare people away - including lots of your current supporters.
ppl are already scared.
just take a look at current diff and hashrate. d'u want to see it at the same rates as execoin's?
see coinedup buy orders - there are none.
I'd rather see those rates than see the coin ruined. You can recover from a bad price - you can't recover ruined trust.
I agree 100% with you styxical, but I think it's worth considering going to an exponentially decaying block reward, rather than halving every four years, if the same amount of coins are released over the same time period for the life of the coin, then it should help reduce inflation a bit immediately, but not really change anything long term.
Also, since that would require a hard fork, maybe at the same time change algorithm and possibly implement the shark bite multipool thingamajig or some variant of it, such as block maturity time rather than block reward.
You may or may not be right, maybe a decaying block reward would be better (I think it could be better, too). But my point was that it shouldn't be our focus right now, our focus should be on increasing adoption, because without adoption nothing else will really matter.
