$InitialSupply + \sum_{i=0}^{\infty} \cfrac{InitialReward*HalvingPeriod}{2^i} = TotalSupply$

Here we have [here](https://github.com/girazoki/tokenomics) scripts that automatically generate values for a given Initial Supply and Total Supply. The following graphs have been generated assuming 2,500,000,000 of total supply and an initial supply of 750,000,000. Here we assume we have a base InitialReward=500 and HalvingPeriod=1,750,000, which we will multiply/divide respectively by a multiplier.

# Conclusions
We reviewed different type of issuances for the Wit token, with their corresponding pros/cons. There seems to be a clear call to adopt a decreasing issuance in order to favour early adoption of the network while still maintaining data request price stability on equilibrium. The impredictability of what would happen on an only-fee blockchain makes us question whether to adopt a Monero-like issuance or stay with the classic Bitcoin-like issuance.

This doesn't sound like a conclusion to me 😛
