How do we know what amount the fee is, and what needs to be burned?
In my opinion, these rules should all be taken care of by the wallet code.

Same with the legacy addresses, if they are not supported, Best to take them out,
And definitely don't allow mining with these address.

Hi!
Thanks for reasonable advice. Yes, the code for older addresses will be removed
altogether. The mining pools are many and different, so for that, a documentation is
important, we will sort this out.
Regarding burning, this is done during block validation by the node. Wallet knows about tx fees,
but may know nothing about burn, so this is 'inside' the nodes area of responsibility (as there
also many wallet software and custom logic for different coins is neither implemented nor
maintained in the wallet software itself).
