Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Off-chain transactions and miner fees
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 00:20:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55C7D234.1040306@bitmarkets.net> (raw)

Hello all,

one argument I often read on this mailing list is that it's essential to
reward miners with transaction fees at some point to secure the network.

Off-chain transactions, whether it's Lightning or something else,
potentially extract fees, which may otherwise be paid to miners, if the
transactions were actually on-chain.

In this context, wouldn't it be contradictory, maybe even harmful, to
aim for an environment, where some/many/most transactions are off-chain?

I have not yet seen this conflict addressed in the recent discussions.
