One year is far too fast a timeout.

I think DMDv4 is proposing accounts idle for ten full years start to evapourate over time maybe or something like that, but any such ideas rebel against the immutability of blockchain.

Bitcoin seems to work fine with uknown numbers of "lost coins" out there.

Not to mention that any such rule could force e.g. Satoshi to put life on the line to avoid having coins in effect stolen, if Satoshi isn't already dead.

No way of knowing how many people in how many different coins and blockchains would have their life at risk were they to go ahead and move any of their coins or tokens due to some such stupid and possibly outright dangerous or deadly rule, especially one introduced after the fact rather than in the original pre-genesis "whitepaper" or whatever.

Maybe it could even be argued that even suggesting such a retrofitted rule ought to be taken as possibly indicating being out to "get" someone who is at the moment protected by their coins not having moved lately or ever...

If you are up for coding though there are glitches in HORIZON that could do with fixing, such as its so called currencies subsystem is broken enough we ended up having to categorise everything as assets.
