I myself have already stated the emission should be changed, it has to be smooth in my opinion, a regular decrease in the blockreward system and not only every 4 years.
This is something that I can work with as it is not as drastic as halving or severely reducing the block rewards as some people are mentioning. Because we have people wanting to fix the inflation and others do not. I think we, the vertcoin community, just needs to meet in the middle somewhere; a smooth gradual reduction overtime may be the best option, like Othe mentioned.
There is just not enough evidence, facts, or information in reducing the block rewards will save vertcoin. Theoretically, you would think so, but it is not always the case and this is why I cannot agree with reducing block rewards significantly or halving the blocks rewards, yet. Yes, some coins may be lucky, but some are not. If something needs to be done with inflation, then, Othe's opinion has my support!
With that being said, the inflation concern is being heavily discussed and it is not an easy decision for the development team as there are many opinions in what people want. At some point, there will be an answer to this inflation concern. Stay calm, relax, and enjoy the weekend!
Cheers!
