Luke-Jr what is your opinion regarding the pull request offered by Peter Todd?
He has 5 pull requests open, none of which seem relevant to this discussion.

Miners could still still make their decision on whether they wish to include such transactions in a block and Counterparty would use pruneable blockchain space.
Blockchain space is never prunable. Only UTXO space.

I don't know if it has been created yet. Please see:

Ignoring petertodd's slanderous lie there, I will reiterate why his idea is based on a false assertion:
Reminder: transaction fees do not pay for transactions, merely attempt to deter/rate limit flooding. To cover the cost of transactions, transaction fees would need to be much higher and somehow distributed across all full nodes (not merely miners).
