respected and known member agran suggested we raise fees to incentivate miners to forge

I strongly oppose this! Forging will never be profitable. Fighting over measley return is useless. nxt fee should be lower but people keep fighting for this 6 cent fee and that brings an average 0.1% yearly return. That's right, instead of lowering fee and making it better they wanna keep this "gigantic" 0.1% yearly return (i suggested we stop comparing ourselves to nxt yet i keep doing it, i apologize i know it's hard)
PoS forging isn't supposed to be profitable. It can't be! You forge to keep network secure and that's it. That's enough incentive. You forge to keep your coins valuable! Fighting for stupid 0.x or 0.0x% yearly return is stupid because it doesn't really make a difference unless it was more than 1% and if it were 1% nobody would use such currency due to being so expansive.
If we are cheaper in fees, more people will use qora and we'll have more tx. That will earn us more fee too. I think this fee is good and I see no reason to raise it. So far we've had 0 attacks so forging incentive is working. I think we'll need to decrease it in the future if price goes up.

This is my opinion. Let's keep Qora competitive and never become satisfied.
Also, regarding forging I think we shouldn't be below 2.5b coins forging. We are at ~18% right now and we should aim to never go below 25% so I'd like to ask everyone to forge. I contacted bter and poloniex not to stop forging since they have big stakes.
