TAUcoin debate daily topic 10/25/2018
Continuation of reward clipping discussion. Do you think it is fair for a user to gain profit from making transactions? For example, without reward clipping, one can send transactions between his own addresses to increase mining power. This could be profitable if future transaction volume is greater than current.
We are using POT so why should we not give benefit for those who made transactions themselves? besides transaction fee has doubled in time when I first joined TAU community. I believe it is everybody's right to gain benefit from their transactions. If there should be a reward clipping mechanism, remaining balance out of the cap must be distributed fairly to everyone or by lottery or mining groups
This is the second school of thinking, although I don't like this idea (I might be wrong). Bitcoin's white paper only points out that mining power based on hash computation can prevent sybil attack. Nakamoto didn't say anything about evolution of mining power from CPU, GPU, FPGA to ASIC. We can choose to do nothing about for-profit transactions and see what happens under POT.
