Block Size Increase Requirements



Summary:

In an email exchange on May 31, 2015, Jorge Timón posed a thought experiment to Gavin Andresen: what if all the block reward for miners came from fees rather than subsidies? Andresen responded by writing a blog post titled "When the Block Reward Goes Away" where he discussed the long-term hypothetical and why he believes it is a mistake to worry about it.
