I wasnt asking for inside information just wondering what they were hoping to happen & what they want the hard fork to achieve
Not much to ask considering we are putting our money & faith into there project
Here's the answer (but really, this was written so doing some search is better^^):
However, this increased coin production leaves us with a short term inflationary problem in a deflationary code environment. With the block speed reduction (60 seconds to 30 seconds), DigiByte production doubled. This means twice as many coins are currently entering the DigiByte ecosystem as originally planned. While this originally worked to catch us up to the projected 4 billion coins in the first year, we feel with an upcoming hard fork that now is the best time to make a change. If production remains the same, we face a massive inflationary problem over the next year and we will reach maximum DigiByte production in 15 years.
We have always been opposed to intentionally increasing the rate of production, but in this case everyone wins when we reduce the current reward to fit in with our original vision and timeline. Everyone's DigiBytes will become more valuable, and our current inflation problem will be curbed by roughly two-thirds. This will help to alleviate some sell pressure on the price.
What we are really buying with this hard fork is more time to accumulate a much larger user base.
Then... I think it's a necessary fork in order to balance the demand vs the offer in the DGB market. It looks like more an essential point which allows to start on a solid basis in order to don't fuck all the future improvements/features/announcement/market's evolution. They probably didn't attend anything on a short term vision... but it's a prerequisite for a bright future.
