And now the dev has gone offline - great

he is working on the wallet, he want's it ready by sunday and probably doesn't want to get involved with this crap, i think he understands our concerns about the amount of coins, or he wouldn't of given us the choice to change it
But this... crap... is important and must - as you said yourself - be settled before the wallet is released.
Dev give promise. He will do what the community agree's to. So far community wants 7-10M PoW coins. Or drk/ltc like minin.
i would be more then happy with this, just trying to come to a happy medium with the ppl who are not
But the only people here that are not happy with the lower coin count is the miners that are just going to dump the coins for btc. They are happy with this coin as it has a good BTC per mh/s payout.
Lets stop this nonsense. This is a PoS coin, it should not be about giving money to people with graphic cards solving problems. Let the investors have it and see where we can take it.
Send the miners back to the PoW coins where they serve a purpose. This. Notice that almost all (of the 3-4 people) that are advocating for longer mining + greater total supply, can not speak proper English.
They are probably chinese with mining farms/asics. This is just stupid that we are listening to them. As we speak, CryptCoin is cutting their supply from 17m to 11m and reducing block rewards, and none of them are bitching about it.
Dev, just lower the supply block reward and act confident in your decision, because it is the smart thing to do. And the few voices of those who complain will be lost in the sea of voices that praise you for a smart move.
