I'm not going to bother arguing in replies to a blog post. Suffice it to say, miners are already handsomely compensated via both inflation and fees for doing their job of preventing double spends. Your suggestion is people should pay them EVEN MORE for simply not being corrupt. My proposal is simpler - how about we find the ones that are claiming people's money via coinbases yet not doing their jobs correctly, and take the money back (or destroy it). I think I prefer that one. Miners that are maliciously double spending cannot justify their existence, they offer no useful service and do not deserve compensation as a result. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
