Because there is already\nplenty of incentive for running a node (i.e. the coinbase).\n\nThe issue is that the reward is more or less like a decentralised lottery\nwith high entry cost. If the income could be smoothed like in a mining\npool, without actually being a mining pool, then perhaps more people would\npay to enter the mining game. A bit like making P2Pool the one and only\npool allowed on the network.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150817/4c6230a0/attachment.html\u003e"}
