104 sats \ 1 reply \ @chungkingexpress 30 Oct 2022 \ on: One Solution to Bitcoin's Security Budget: Complementary Goods & Services bitcoin
This is an interesting proposition. Am I reading this right, it is almost like a CSR initiative (without the B.S.) "Plant trees, save the planet" becomes "Use block space, keep bitcoin going" etc.
Random Ideas
  • Maybe the highest paying fee on each block can be identified by an OP_RETURN code as a sponsor / leaderboard? "This block's sponsor is company X!" Maybe there is a static address that people can bid for sending the highest amount to etc.
  • I wonder if a lottery system could be developed by miners. E.g. Users buy a ticket for 10,000 Sats through a miner lottery service on basechain and go into the draw to win 0.1BTC. Every 10 minutes the lottery transaction is posted to mempool and somebody "wins" 0.1BTC, but 10BTC+ worth of individual transactions have been accumulated in the block.

You got it!
Your first bullet, would be kindof neat. Kindof like, "This company is doing it's part, they are helping the greater good (security wise)"
Your second bullet, would definitely be an interesting game too! It would probably require trust to setup, and therefore laws would kick in about gambling, but you get the idea.
