That case would be stronger when there is no more subsidy, but we collectively the uses of Bitcoin are currently paying miners around $130k USD per block in the form of inflation for the job of honestly complying with the Bitcoin protocol. I don't think you can argue that they have any more right to do that than any of us have a right to run software that invalidates their coinbase outputs when they do; which would be the sort of retaliation they might get targeted with. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
