I can see a major problem with people choosing different mixing depths having to wait for other people to choose that much depth as well... Better to just find one depth and make it the default. I like the OMGWTFBBQ approach...
It'd be something more along the lines of OMGWTFBBQ+EXTRASAUCE, available to everyone. I don't have a problem with finding some way to get heavy users to subsidize the added load on the network, should it become apparent that it's an issue.
As someone pointed out,
that's an Evan call though.
Sure, but the more thinking out loud we do, the less he has to be distracted.
I like the EXTRASAUCE idea. 10 plop scatterduff... If I spray paint my Mossberg dark blue... ?
What about inter-mixing? Instead of 1-> 1 -> 1 -> 1, it could recombine and then re-scatter in totally random groupings. Would help the inter-mix TXs take up less space and possibly increase perceived entropy... Fat would become negligible and this whole discussion pointless. Or maybe I'm just reading Evan's mind again...
No comment on your psychic powers, but that would be a nice way of doing it.
