Ah, by "burning" I was referring to specifically the act of spending coins to an unreachable address, therefore removing them from circulation. There are a number of coins that use this type of coin burning for various purposes.
Paying fees for blockchain messages has always been part of Florincoin. There is a fee-per-byte calculation (derived from Bitcoin's fee calculation). Transactions with filled tx-comment fields are mostly >700 bytes which results in a miner's fee.
Yes, but this only benefits miners, who don't care about Flo or it's value. They will just dump any Flo they get back on the market. So, use of Alexandria would ironically just result in more sell pressure for Flo. I have seen this mechanism work out poorly for the value / price of other coins long term.
Are there any mechanisms by which Flo would increase in value? Could those fees go to burning those instead? Not sure why you would pay those to miners instead of Flo holders (by burning or some other mechanism). If you did this it would increase the value of Flo tremendously from at least a theoretical perspective.
Just remove them from supply by having them all go to a burn address is the easy answer here.
Appreciate the discussion.
