I'm glad someone is talking about this and taking it seriously. This is a BIG change and most people don't even know about it.
This is another good reason for implementing a BOINC-style notification system; get the word out, because guess what.... People are gonna be super pissed if they aren't getting their reward at the same rate, and possibly not at all.
This should've been discussed days or weeks ago rather than a week or so before it's implemented. People need to use the info to make their decisions.. Some may want to quit. Some may want to buy. Everyone needs to know that they'll have to hold a much higher balance.
The price has already increased. Had this information been out days ago, people could've theoretically bought in cheaper. It's not really fair if only some people really know what's going to happen...
