Just out of interest, why would the core development fund, have to come out of the block reward? wouldn’t it make more sense to tie it to transaction fees? This would seem to be a lot more inline with the continued success of zec because even when the block rewards run out there will still be development funds available.
The tech is good, this would provide massive incentive to increase adoption. and it wouldn’t upset the last of the miners, who lets face it, get the short end of the stick most of the time (be they asic or gpu miners).
I don’t mine zec. I would like to use it though, but only through shielded transactions.
I still wonder how much it would really take to keep zec running. I dont think it would be anywhere near the current 700k a month. It is a different stage of development, it shouldn’t require the same resources as the first 4 years. I still have a lot to catch up on so maybe all these numbers are out there, I just haven’t found them yet.
