Feerate-Dependent Timelocks do create incentives to accept out-of-band
fees to decrease in-band fees and speed up mining of transactions
using FDT! Miners can make a 5% discount on fees paid out-of-band and
many people will use it. Observed fees decrease and FDT transactions
mature faster. It is beneficial for both parties involved: senders of
transactions save 5% on fees, miners get FDT transactions mined faster
and get more profits (for the sake of example more than 5%).
