A couple of those coins have ongoing block rewards that never drop to zero, or proof-of stake, so there's not really a hard limit. And then there are non-obvious bugs that can blow up..
To a libertarian, inflation is a "bug", but not necessarily to others. Models that allow infinite inflation over a long time-period are different economic models, rather than badly implemented crypto-code. Personally, I think inherently deflationary is a bad economic model, so I'd be more inclined towards an inflationary currency. On 15/01/15 04:24, Troy Benjegerdes wrote:

When trying to execute a pump&dump scheme, it is more effective to attack something thinly traded, assuming, of course, that there are enough marks available to fleece. In other words, pick a different coin:

Interesting, what do they mean by 'capitalization hard limit'

And it's rather important to read the code and not the coins marketing. Some of this stuff is kinda hilarious
