It seems to me like you are proposing something like a reverse locktime.
only on the fees!
so the value of the fees decreases with time (it wasn't clear in my post?)
Oh no, it was clear. I am just saying that it would make more sense to add the whole OP code as a soft fork then to do a hard fork to make it only for the fees.
This way we wouldn't have to do a hard fork and would get a new feature.
We could leave the code with the maximum freedom/options for the users. No need for a hard fork. No?
Yes, this would require a soft fork tho. Soft forks are different then hard forks as they allow people to use the old software that is compatible with the new, but is just lacking a certain feature. This would be one of those features.
Although a hard capitalist some vicious side of my nature calls for a negative fee for some of these miners....
you mean negative fees for exploited users paid by oppressor miners fees
