Title: [2016-03-16] Proposal To Give 45% of Block Reward To Bitcoin Node Operators Is S Post by: jdebunt on March 16, 2016, 08:01:54 AM Do you see the need for Bitcoin Node owners to be paid from the block reward, or is there a different solution?
Throughout the years, there has been a lot of discussion on whether or not people should receive an incentive for supporting the Bitcoin network by running a full node. Even though there is no need to reward people for these steps, new ideas to change that situation keep popping up now and then. One particular Reddit user would take a page out of DASH’s book and pay up to 45% of the block reward to node operators. Such an idea would never be viable, though, as it would ultimately lead to centralization. http://themerkle.com/proposal-to-give-45-of-block-reward-to-bitcoin-node-operators-is-silly/ |
