Themis Hardfork
Purpose
The purpose of this hardfork is to sanitize the reward system.
Description
The hardfork will take effect from block 870,000
Changes:
Coinstake will be reduced to 5 ECOC
New max cap is 300 million ECOC
Each epoch changes every 1 million blocks (approximately one year)
Each epoch the coinstake will be reduced by 1 ECOC until it reaches 1 ECOC. So each epochs coinstake will be 5-4-3-2-1 ECOC
After that point the coinstake will be stable at 1 ECOC until it reaches the cap (300 million ECOC)
Last rewarl block is 47,870,000. After that point the only reward for stakers will be the transaction fees.
Multisigners are reduced to 5. The basic reason about this is to reduce the future chaindata size.
