op_ctv would be nice. Could spread out more lightning open and close actions across a lot more blocks.

If this makes Lightning more "efficient"... I'm not sure we need that

We should make a list of what our options are for this problem, with tail emissions being the most nuclear option, rank them by intensity and viability, and then just sit around until it becomes a problem.

I would rather the entire project fail than we propose a "tail emission" because if we do that then Bitcoin will fail.

Unfortunately, it takes waiting for it to be a problem for a unilateral soft fork (even hard fork) to work out for this problem specifically I believe.

I don't know why credible people haven't at least suggested a block size decrease. It's far less disruptive than anything else being proposed right now ("proposed") plus it decreases spam and makes blocks easier to process.

Sounds like a win-win to me if we're going to do something
