So, this is a thread describing a proposal, without the actual proposal text inside. Is this topic written by ChatGPT?  Roll Eyes

Wouldn't it be better to take unused coins and use them to incentivize miners to continue their business?
And what would we do when we run out of such coins to "steal" and pay miners? It is a finite number after all.

It'll fall flat just like the 2140 block reward exhaustion.

I don't really see a point to giving miners a temporary incentive to continue mining when it's literally no better than a block reward (at best - if implemented poorly, it can be used by the first miners to defraud the other miners).
