We should design protocols that do reasonably well in *both* scenarios. Bec= ause the future is unknown. Hell, I won't be surprised if further developments c= ome along that reduce demand for on-chain txs even further. The fact is basing security budget in part on the total value of the coin b= eing secured very cleanly solves the problem of ensuring that there is sufficient mining reward. Similarly, we also have to plan for the potential environment where fee demand is very high. And we've done a good job of that, including Lightning, replace-by-fee, etc. --=20 https://petertodd.org 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org --hukswnIOdzy5/a9k Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE0RcYcKRzsEwFZ3N5Lly11TVRLzcFAmLMwMoACgkQLly11TVR LzczyxAAwIoJsROzIy4+FRvxfS3qMgNNJs+kdZ/A9CzhGfqd/oKX4y3ViEgmcNcG x9hmNzfEDbmpfb5aD2L90C2b1k9HIdc42iw/uv/06AtMBM2ruX1UgeCpcL69McqQ +4cZYJ6MKRGIENfW+wprnIO1E+ZKrcha7nlKRnZnOy2Wpv1iu2CrymF61BU7bRpI IYZ9m4FGyeF8wenwebLcLgqzQNHNg+4yGWM9WDydxoYV91kUl9/DvmZTVRWYOOEe FC7+69INXqVdag1aSPV75UlhV9fM310SQ6Y8QBr98Mj4F2S+OF6LMJrXMaCTqcqE aMu4I7YsydOGH26m7S8WsUCp7LnEofN4C0ZHJm/q0Xu2yJxUjuPbirjywpN0B+aH StjctFx9+52xIKNocWH0IekgsW8MZuUE9/tqj7PBPCQAq51n69pLCJjjNCtg6J3y BbDma1nvACy7tMFMZT4jBZ6/J54dvhBNoppfqVjbrb9pNFVr2jiuD0m4Qp+FKlhx VuukqVX3XdYCM2c71MJ03enMKaD4J5qcV39esUmFWITe0DlIqY6ZPY2SZHaDKXfM nZxiFRYfHPmllKAcRRTNH8YeDtdUDZ/VI6TORFBFE5GoR+2ODa0LTNiJyGnYPwms U1E1lvkZgKolL2/My3+1IgJG9faIqQwBkTyd8oT2qLwe61maTRU= =EQeI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hukswnIOdzy5/a9k--
