So, questions:
* Do you think a continuous decrease of the block reward is better?
* Is it worth breaking backward compatibility for?
* Do you think a continuous decrease of the block reward is better?
* Is it worth breaking backward compatibility for?
No and no, in my opinion.
I think being able to explain the block reward as "starts at 50 every 10 minutes and is cut in half every 4 years" is a big advantage. I like simple-- "the simplest possible solution that will work" is a good engineering rule of thumb.
