Looks like this coin is taking off. Can someone please explain what will happen when the mining drops to only 1 coin per block? I want to get into this coin but I am concerned about what will happen in 2.5 weeks. I know users can mint coins in their wallets at 20% annually but what will new people get?

new ppl get what they get, dust. Buy now!

But you need new people to drive the market. I don't quite understand. Will this become a hoarding thing? If so then no one will spend them and it is not a currency but something more like a collectable item. Just trying to understand. What will keep interest in the coin if you can't get it or spend it? Maybe I am missing something.

learn more about PoS and you will understand that the ammount of coins sitted in your wallet correespond to a mining % i dont know how much time here but you will receive coins actually not mining iin terms of hardware! just hold it in your wallet and receive coins for interest (mining,forging) like with NextCoin.

Thank you for the answer. I kind of understand that part already. Can anyone help with my other points? In particular what will keep interest in the coin if you can't get it or spend it? Maybe I am missing something.

people will be incentivized to spend the interest and not touch the principle, I don't think that is a problem.

Ok. Thanks. So they won't get interest on their interest, only on the original principle? Is that correct. And why would they be incentivized (sp?) to spend the interest? Also why even have the mining continue at 1 coin? Seems pointless when there are 100 billion floating around. Who would continue mining then?

That doesn't make any sense. Why would you come to the conclusion that the interest will not compound from what I said?

People will spend any currency because they can buy stuff they want with it, also if they only spend their interest and not touch the principle they have a residual income that they can spend.

It's a win/win situation and I suspect you are being a fuddy duddy Cheesy

I am trying to understand how this will be a currency. As a potential investor (by the way I am mining a little bit as well) I want to know what the future holds. In this case the very near future. With no one left mining it will definitely be very interesting to see what happens here. Very interesting. I am trying to see how this will not be just hoarded and where the incentive for new users (an absolute must for any coin to sustain) will come from. This has the potential to get sidetracked and become a pyramid model. I do not want to see that happen as it would be bad for not just this coin but other coins as well. THere has to be some incentive for people to redistribute their coins outside of just wanting to make a profit off of their initial investment. These are valid questions I feel as someone who is deciding whether to go big into this coin as it seems to be now or never.

The BTC/MINT price should be the incentive to sell or not. If someone buy high enough, some will sell regarding their preference. Also, if you need money, then you will sell. It's just a cryptocurrency, outside of the interest and the price, people won't keep just for keeping.
