Here's an idea. Take 1% of each block reward and send it to an address controlled by the Bitcoin Foundation. This would provide revenue for development, branding, lobbying, etc. Alternatively, you can send them a % of the transaction fees. Call it a network fee.. whatever.

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but we need change. They say if it's broken don't fix it, but bitcoin is broken.

Miners and pools will not be keen on the 1% block reward tax to TBF, and this fork will likely not be accepted. I agree we do need change. The larger blocks is a good solution IMO. It raises the limit, will not impose any limitations to the current mining operations, while scaling the potential transactions rate.

The unconfirmed transaction pool is getting bigger and confirmations much slower than about one year ago. It is not "broken" now, but will be soon if we don't do anything.
