Smooth Emission
The upper bound for the overall amount of ADON Coin: MSupply = 6456360400000000 This is a natural restriction based only on the implementation limits, not on intuition like "N coins ought to be enough for everybody". To make the emission process smoother CryptoNote uses the following formula for block rewards: BaseReward = (MSupply − A) >> 19 where A is amount of previously generated coins. It gives a predictable growth of the money supply without any breakpoints.
