- The Block reward drops to 45 GLD
- Reward for the years thereafter is 50 divided by (1.1 + 0.49*every year after fork)
- There is a 20 year jump that occurs at block 372,000

Note in order to properly mine GLD, an accurate system time is necessary. GLD will not accept blocks that are more than 45 seconds into the future and more than 2 minutes into the past.
This makes this coin ideal for time stamping purposes as well.
Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt) or are controversial.
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Goldcoin.
Feature branches are created when there are major new features being worked on by several people.
From time to time a pull request will become outdated. If this occurs, and the pull is no longer automatically mergeable; a comment on the pull will be used to issue a warning of closure. The pull will be closed 15 days after the warning if action is not taken by the author. Pull requests closed in this manner will have their corresponding issue labeled 'stagnant'.
Issues with no commits will be given a similar warning, and closed after 15 days from their last activity. Issues closed in this manner will be labeled 'stale'.
