@Bitsky,
You mean arguments like people cannot use their private key because they simply can't do it?
If in 100 years a wallet cannot make an output transaction u think after 100 years he remember where he wrotte his privatekey?
No, you want to
force users to make transactions. That includes paying fees for something you don't even want to do. In essence, you suggest a "please let me keep my bitcoins" tax.
If I buy one ton of gold and bury it, do I have to prove ownership every x years? No. Will it be taken away from me? No.
If I get 1 million fiat and keep it under my bed, do I have to prove ownership every x years? No. Will it be taken away from me? No.
@Kakmakr
What makes u think bitcoin developers that invented bitcoin cannot make an output Tx from their early mined wallets?
The rest who wannabe just like those people that find a problem to any solution , well, be my guest!
I can bet this solution will be implemented in bitcoin core, maybe not in the next upgrade of core. But a similar solution will be implemented. It needs only majority of nodes and miners to implement it.
I would not be surprised to be implemented in other alt coins first.
It will not be implemented, simply because people understand that what you suggest boils down to expropriation and control over your money by a 3rd party. Bitcoin was created to make exactly that impossible.
The problem is that if more will lose wallets and bitcoins, network itself will suffer, now you do not feel lost bitcoins because demand is low. When demand will increase in 50 years, then all those 4mil coins will matter . I do not offer a solution for owner that lost money, i offer solution for healthy of network. The owner of lost wallet have no chance to get back money, but network will keep entire coins in circulation.
Anyway i do not see bitcoin as a single global currency. So, for me personal i do not gain anything . I think even those who lost wallets will agree to let those coins return in circulation as a reward for mining blocks.
Wrong, because if demand at some point will be so high that single Satoshis are worth hundreds of dollars, devs can simply add more decimals and split Satoshis. And if you don't think that's possible, look at the stock market where it is pretty common to split and join stocks to make them better trade-able again.
