I agree, the risk of going over max reward should be sufficient to prevent the creation of excessively large block sizes. I would also like to have the set values persist through wallet restarts as it is a pain to have to repeatedly set these values whenever there is a need to restart the wallet.
what pain ? 2 lines in conf and you'r done
It would be great if that worked. It does not. Nor does it work as a command line option. At least not under Win7
