Consider that a miner can also produce transactions. So every miner would produce spam tx to fill their bricks at the minimum allowed difficulty to reap the brick coinbase reward. You might quickly respond with a modification that changes or eliminates the brick coinbase reward, but perhaps that

Thanks all for your responses. so is it a no-go is because "reduced settlement speed is a desirable feature"? I don';t know what weights more in this consideration: A) to not increase the workload of full-nodes, being "less difficult to operate" and hence reduce the chance of some of them giving

Hi Bitcoin devs, I'd like to share an idea of a method to increase throughput in the bitcoin network. Currently, a miner produce blocks with a limited capacity of transactions that ultimately limits the global settlement throughput to a reduced number of tx/s. Big-blockers proposed the removal
