I've read that many people believe that Zetacoin has a predominantly "1 year" mining schedule. I believe the Announcement is very misleading in this regards. Here are some facts.
The Zetacoin ANN states :
- Block reward: 1000 ZET, halving every 80640 blocks (about 1 month), not dropping below 1 ZET (inflationary)
- Total coin supply: 160 million ZET + small yearly inflation
- 160 million coins will be mined in around first year
Below are time stamps, blocks at change in mining reward and coin supply at those blocks.
