thanks rabbit! do we happen to know when will the last coin be created? (Adam Thursdays he's in the lab preparing wax i think)
Never. 2% per year, as long as the coins lasts. You have to have an incentive to keep the network running. In this case the network is the wallets staking the coin. I don't know the commonly used figure for coin loss, but I'll bet it's close to the 2% value.
Also that is 2% of the coins staking in wallets. Not all coins.
