I reject the premise of this proposed BIP. Mandating miners to include a
specific percentage of transactions based on age fundamentally undermines
the core principles of Bitcoin: decentralization, voluntary participation,
and free market dynamics.
Bitcoin thrives because of its permissionless, free-market system. Miners
are incentivized to prioritize transactions based on fees and network
conditions, not arbitrary mandates. Imposing a rule like this introduces
central planning into what is a decentralized system.
The proposal claims to fight centralization, but will likely backfire.
Mandates like this add operational complexity and reduce efficiency for
miners. Smaller miners, who are already operating on thin margins, will be
disproportionately impacted, driving them out of the market and further
centralizing mining power. If censorship-resistant mining is valuable, let
the free market reward those who provide it. If there=E2=80=99s demand for=
miners
to include old or low-fee transactions, let someone build tools and pools
that prioritize this voluntarily. Solutions shall arise from innovation,
not coercion.
Best regards,
Mike

<div dir=3D"ltr">I reject the premise of this proposed BIP.=C2=A0 Mandating=
miners to include a specific percentage of transactions based on age funda=
mentally undermines the core principles of Bitcoin: decentralization, volun=
tary participation, and free market dynamics.<br><br>Bitcoin thrives becaus=
e of its permissionless, free-market system. Miners are incentivized to pri=
oritize transactions based on fees and network conditions, not arbitrary ma=
ndates. Imposing a rule like this introduces central planning into what is =
a decentralized system.<br><br>The proposal claims to fight centralization,=
but will likely backfire. Mandates like this add operational complexity an=
d reduce efficiency for miners. Smaller miners, who are already operating o=
