Hey,

I read a tweet from someone that said, a BTC tail emmision could be done as soft fork. I have some technically experiance in blockchain so..... the main reward scheme could of course only be changed by hard fork.

But as after Segwit and so on some more things are possible with BTC Script. For example LN gets BTC to one place to another without trust of the main chain

So may there be the possibltly that some kind of extra reward can be send by the Algo to the miners by Scrypt or anything else with only a soft fork?

Please technical informative replies only!

Thanks

Peter Todd, whose technical background doesn't  pose any   challenge to cryptocommunity, expressed his view on this matter saying that Bitcoin could add a tail emission via hardfork rather than soft fork due to the  vast full nodes network   the size of which  stands head and shoulders above ,say, Monero which  implemented it via soft fork
