Exactly. If one keeps talking about how much they've donated, it's just virtue signaling.

First why would payment from the foundation not be taxed? Second, the foundation doesn't pay my anything. I have put a lot more money in the foundation than the foundation has given me or spent on me.

3/ Better yet, pools can let miners decide what organizations to send their 1% to. It can be Litecoin Foundation, @LitecoinDotCom, @theliteschool, or any other Litecoin project.
What do you guys think?

2/ Currently with merged mining of Dogecoin and other Scrypt coins, miners make 105%+ of block rewards. So 1% is a reasonably small amount to give back towards funding a public good.

1/ I think a better way to fund development is mining pools voluntarily donate a portion of the block reward. How about Litecoin pools donate 1% (0.125 LTC) of block rewards to the @LTCFoundation? If every miner/pool does this, it amounts to about $1.5MM

It’s centralizing because someone is deciding who to fund with a tax on everyone. With Litecoin, donation to development is voluntary. If another development team does a better job, they will get more support and more funding.

100 / 87.5 = 1.142857142857143
Miners that are taxed only get 87.5% of the block rewards. Miners that circumvent this tax, gets the full 100%.

Yes, maybe so, which makes it just decentralization theatre. But even then, see my 2nd tweet on why it’s hard to enforce.

But there’s not much profit to do that as difficulty is in line with BTC. Unless they reverse transactions. With this, they just need to mine BCH normally and make 14% more.

Charlie Lee [LTC] - 1/23/2020 8:05:12 AM - GMT (+0 )
If this soft fork goes through, it will be very destabilizing because there’s incentive for a large BTC miner to 51% attack this. They can switch to mining BCH and proceed to mine 11 blocks in a row. They get all the BCH, which is at least 14% more profit
