Ah, ok. I see it now. They're not just extending the coin maturity, they're redefining what kind of mining is allowed completely... With as many forks as needed on the go? 🙄 https://blossom.primal...

The plan has three stages.

1. Freeze coinbase rewards for 45 days.
2. If no “unintended side effects”, extend coinbase freeze for full year.
3. By the end of that year only allow DATUM-mined block rewards to be spent… somehow.

1 & 2 are to disincentivize “opportunistic shitcoin miners” that just want to mine and sell the coins for profit… or something.

Thanks for the info. Once you've started changing consensus rules once, you can't stop it there, I'm afraid. 😳

I'm trying to see what they are so upset about, and the only thing that makes sense is they don't want miners who dump the new coins because that presumably makes it harder to push the price higher.
