Bitcoin Days Destroyed as block selection heuristic



Summary:

In a discussion on the bitcoin-dev mailing list, Dave Scotese proposes a more sophisticated method for choosing which of two block solutions to accept. Rather than relying on the first-seen block, he suggests using the criterion of the one with more work (in valid blocks) on top of it. This proposal aims to improve the security and efficiency of the bitcoin network.
