What was wrong with GetBlockSubsidy() that someone would hard code the result? Or is this a late April fool's joke
Discussion
The original code keeps reducing the subsidy until no more fresh Bitcoin are minted. This effectively caps total Bitcoin supply at 21m. It means we're running out of fresh new Bitcoin.
Fizing the subsidy means there is an ongoing supply, every 10 minutes 3.25 new Bitcoin will be minted, until all eternity.
The show must go on.
the submitter is clearly kidding themselves
even if core were to merge it what about all the rest of the implementations?
and even if version 27 had this feature, no other versions do
most people are running older versions
the supply of bitcoin is never going to change, it's impossible to persuade enough that it is worth it
praise the lord!
