I would drop the number of coins to maybe one billion or less.
I think everything else sounds reasonable
yah I agree on that, I think it makes sense to ask ourselves first how much should one TiPS be valued at in $ after it appreciates and reaches its fair value. Since we want it to be used in tipping in the first place I think it would be better to tip with a multiple of coins and not fractions, so that would put the value of one TiPS at let's say 1 dollar cent. so tipping a waiter with 100 tips or so is nice, and if the value increases further we still have room to go down to 10 and 1 TiPS.
We currently have a market cap of about $50k, and we were once at $2M last year just because of enthusiasm without the services we want to offer. I think any decent coin with something to offer would have a cap of at least $5M, and that in terms of 2013-2014 total cryptocurrency market cap. With the increasing popularity and spread of cryptocurrency I'm sure this number will keep going up in the coming years and I'm guessing the very successful coins in 2015 will have a cap of $50M+.
so I will project a reasonable cap for TiPS say mid 2015 at around $5M, ie 100 times the current value which is really not a big deal in crypto and we saw that happen last year to many coins based on hype alone. For this cap it would require a count of
500M coins total to get a value of $1cent per 1TiPS. This will be the total available, with POS algo, so we can increase the count by say 5% p.a., and when we are hopefully successful and new start-ups from the community start making new businesses etc and market cap grows further, we would have a x100 growth room with value of 1TiPS still in the desirable range of 1-100 cent, and with POS adjusting the value as well for a growing market. Is this reasonable?
