They modify a consensus system, which essentially answers the question "Who confirms the blocks with transactions" That's all. But changing the coins supply shows that the XCR is not a digital gold (which is very hard to get) and like USD/fiat can be "printed from air" easily  .

I'm tottaly against this point of view  

Concerning the fees - I have no thoughts on it.

The data format of the new blockchain will be different too as I understand. It will not be a fork. In will be a new blockchain.

Sharky444,

The only reason it is even possible to do right now is because we have to re-create the genesis block when we launch 0.2.0 as the whole network is essentially being re-booted. It wouldn't be possible again at a later date with our support, you would have to be launching your own network with our source code. We wouldn't ever be doing this again unless somehow DPOS ended up having some form of catastrophic flaw that no one has seen in the last year of testing that required another complete re-write.

All of that being said, I completely understand the opposition and also the negative response to the idea of some members. It was brought up as a suggestion however so we agree to discuss and vote on it internally which we are doing now. No decision has been made and the decision may very well be to keep everything exactly how it is. We will probably know after our meeting this weekend one way or another.

Congrats! You just found a reason that are not greed/monetary based.

Btw, How about we use Bitshares as the coin supply benchmark, since we borrow their DPOS?

100 million coins should be enough for everyone. No need to increase the size. ..

We can ALWAYS lower the fees, and have a happy community, BUT we can never raise the fees without a very unhappy community.

You guys have forgotten that we got Bter to lower their 1% fee to .5% and now .05%.  That alone has saved a lot of XCR for you all, including a major investor that had 5 million XCR on Bter.  That would have cost 50,000XCR just in the Bter fee to withdraw, but now it is only 2,500..... a savings of 47,500XCR.  

I get what you're saying. Once a fee is established even if very low, if you ever raise it people will cry.
So better to start on the high side cause you can always lower it
Problem is I don't see how .5 or even .1% can ever be the fee for any crypto currency.

The Bter fee lowering was a great job. Even though I withdrew the majority at 1% and the rest at .5%.
But that has nothing to do with a hard coded .5% charged for all transactions involving spending Cryptis through the network.

Maybe with custom blockchains developers will build some really great stuff on Crypti and have a network effect advantage?
Therefore, just like we all have no choice but to go through bitcoin first, everyone will have to go through Crypti to access it?
So then a .5% fee would be accepted because there are things people need to access that are exclusive to Crypti.

If something like that were the reason for the .5% then at least I could understand the thought process.
Whether the community agrees would be another story.

I'm putting my thoughts whenever I have one out there so that like Grexx said, the team sees it all while making decisions.
I feel pretty confident whatever you guys end up deciding because you heard all the different sides.

I'm pretty much done on this subject. All I ask is for you guys to put yourself in the shoes of the typical
crypto user/speculator, the average Joe who loves his fiat, as well as delegates who will make the network rock solid dependable.

My views on the Fees

Fees

The current hardcoded fee of 0.5% is a bit to high, in my honest opinion. While I understand that PayPal and credit cards charge in excess of 2.9%, our main competitors in the crypto-space charge nowhere near as much as Crypti does percentage wise to make a transaction. Again I understand that the actual difference may be a small, trivial amount, however Crypti's fees are still higher than most other crypto-currencies, and it will likely be one of the first points of criticism from other people in the crypto-community.

The solution :

I propose the Crypti removes the hardcoded fee of 0.5%, to a variable based fee (based on user-input). For example when a user wants to send a transaction, all the user will have to do is enter their own fee percentage, much like in Bitcoin, although in Bitcoin the higher the fees, the faster the confirmation times (I'm not sure if this is applicable in Crypti). What this would bring about is that if there are people out there using the network they can also choose to add extra fees to support the 101 Delegates. Also if users arem't happy with their current fees, they can input their own amount.

As for blockchain spam, a very small minimum amount could be enforced eg. 0.001%, however if a minimum fee amount is to be enforced, do not go the NXT route where 1 NXT (in this case 1 XCR) is used as minimum fee to pay for everything. The reason being if Crypti does become successful and it's price soars (which I'm sure we're all hoping will happen), then that 1 XCR could be worth something. If Crypti's market cap reaches $100 Million (which is a possibility), then 1 XCR is equivalent to 1 USD. That's actually a pretty big amount if 1 XCR is going to be used to perform many actions on the App Store/Custom Blockchains/Virtual Machine.

For example on NXT's Asset Exchange, it costs 1 NXT to place a buy/sell order, if XCR hypothetically had an asset exchange and it enforced the same fee structure, then users could potentially be paying 1 USD to make a simple buy/sell order placement.

Or, set up a cap for the transaction fees, for instance 25XCR. So if a person make a large transaction he will not be charged a too large fee.

HEY!! We resemble that remark!!
