EIP-27 Mainnet Activation Voting and Final Details

@kushti @Armeanio

emission in Ergo is done via a contract (releasing ERGs each block according to a schedule set in the contract)

Is this different that BTC? My understanding is that on Bitcoin mining creates new BTC, rather than releasing BTC from a contract. What is the rationale behind this emission design difference between Bitcoin and Ergo?

I’m writing a community blog post on differences between Ergo and Bitcoin, this looks like a critical design difference…
