    What is current reward per block. Is it 21.83707864 DCR for a block? (so 30% for PoS is ~ 6.55)

    Which percentage PoW miners receive until 4096 block? Is it always 60% for them, or until PoS started they get 90%?

    nope as i can see from block explorer its 60% and 10% to devs so we have to adjust for these 30% in first 4096 blocks after PoS happens.

    So how big is block reward? 30DCR ? 21.83707864 - is it 70%? Why then it's much bigger than 21? We can see that there were only 5 transactions with 0.05 fee inside.

    What do you mean? the block reward now is sum of dev subsidy & PoW reward i.e. 21.83707864 DCR. That is full 100% reward right now. Thats why i was saying that we need to adjust it later with higher rewards for missing 30% coins in first 4095 blocks when PoS starts.

    Already found answer here:
    https://forum.decred.org/threads/decred-constitution.424/

    So now block reward is 31.19582664 starting from the 4096 block.
    21.83707864 is 70% (60% PoW miner + 10% devs) - this is like "100%" until 4096

    hmm so they accounted for 10DCR missing in first 4095 blocks when they calculated 21 million? That is not made clear anywhere as subsidy is not 31.xxx from genesis block its 21.xxx. so 9.358748 * 4095 DCR are accounted for when we calculate 21 million?
