I would take the last block I solved and use it to write a transaction to nowhere which which gave all 50 BTC out in fee. This pays for as many transactions in the block as I like for any value of X you want to choose. You should read the bitcointalk forums more often: variants on that idea are frequently suggested and dismantled. There is a lot of noise there but also a lot of ideas and knowing what doesn't work is good too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
