Question

Can you do reward doubling (or multiplying by some custom factor) for mining? Instead of the reward halving every x blocks, can you make it increase?

Answer 1

No, I'm afraid this is not possible. It would also be rather problematic in the long term, because you would reach rewards that would be too large for any common numeric representation in the computer.

But you could remove the halving by setting halving every x blocks to a negative, right?

No, the minimum value for this parameter is 60.

But if it’s below 60, does it default to a value or get ignored (removing reward halving)?

You'll get an error and MultiChain won't start the chain.
