Sorry, its behind a paywall.
yeah whatevs.. maybe search for it yourself, if you are interested. Not going to spoonfeed you
At least you now got a hint that something is going on regarding miner shutdown compensation..
For me it makes sense. Miners provide an important service to grid security by relinquishing some of their profits. I think that's worth a (partial) compensation.
Maybe, but I still wouldnt trust any government hand outs. It sounds a lot like the lockdown mottos, Ill pay you to stay home and dont travel.
Another attack vector on Bitcoin perhaps? philipma can tell us if he knows anything more to it.
BTC has various use cases. That includes using the BTC network as a balancing tool for the energy grid.
If the community (government) decides to pay you on top of the mining rewards, so they can have enough energy in emergency situations, why not.
