Someone or something (as in an algo). But I won’t quibble over a word. For the rest of this, let’s just go with “Farming reward”.
You know very well that they haven’t determined this yet:
Why? There is no “lying” to anyone if it’s in the code at beta. The question is what is the aim of that code. I know this has been discussed over the years ad-nauseum, but I have looked and I don’t see where @maidsafe has ever given any definitive answer.
The MAID have nothing to do with it. It’s the tokens the network can create, not the MAID that were issued.
As you have admitted in your other post on Jan 30th (that I quoted above) … and as appears to still be the case, the algo is “being developed” … so this is all hypotheticals.
I would like some clarity here from @maidsafe though. What is the current intention of the bulk of tokens (~85%?) that the network is allowed to create … is it:
1.) a buffer
2.) a reward payout bonus like bitcoin uses to attract miners.
3.) a mix of both.
4.) neither!?
5.) undecided.
