Greg has openly called for full blocks and a fee market (which we have right now).

If blocks are empty, then when the reward drops to zero how will miners get paid?


If LN siphons off the majority of network fees, how will miners get paid?

There will still be transactions done on the Blockchain, just like Xapo are doing this with off-chain transactions. Nothing is stopping anyone from

running their own nodes, but this is not what the miners want. They want to buy a bunch of hardware that needs very little effort and then they

want to mine with the maximum reward. Their whole business model is geared for "hardware" mining and not "software" mining.  Roll Eyes
