I somewhat now see some arguments for changing the emission - best would be if could change the emission and adapt the current amount of coins accordingly, but I think this is really impossible.
maybe I am wrong and the social contract is less important than the fixing - I am really really unsure about this.
We may need a new CN coin to implement the thoughts here.
Apologies if someone else has brought this up, but has the idea of re-launching a new Monero or other CN coin and then burning Monero to transfer value been floated?
The idea of burning coins to start a project is in general a bad idea, since it leaves the project without funding. However, for the purpose of transferring value aka, going from coin 1.0 to coin 2.0, it's a valid tool.
Launch XMR 2.0, allow a 30 day period of burn/conversion and then there's no need to mess with XMR 1.0.
