Hi Nagaev,
That's an interesting idea, but I don't think that it works due to the
free rider problem: miner Alice offers a 5% discount on fees paid out of
band now in the hopes of collecting more than 5% in extra fees later due
to increased urgency from users that depended on FDTs. However,
sometimes the person who actually collects extra fees is miner Bob who
never offered a 5% discount. By not offering a discount, Bob earns more
money on average per block than Alice (all other things being equal),
eventually forcing her to stop offering the discount or to leave the
market.
Additionally, if nearly everyone was paying discounted fees out of band,
participants in contract protocols using FDTs would know to use
proportionally higher FDT amounts (e.g. 5% over their actual desired
fee), negating the benefit to miners of offering discounted fees.
