Has anyone proposed a schema for developer rewards at the protocol level as determined by the number of nodes running a given software baseline? If we're paying miners to secure the network, it stands to reason that we should pay developers to debug and evolve the network, no?
For example, according to cash.coin.dance, there are 849 Bitcoin ABC nodes, 696 Bitcoin Unlimited nodes, 10 BCHD nodes, etc. Could there not be a BIP calling for an additional ~1 sat/byte network fee to be taken from all transactions mined using a given BCH implementation and donated to a set of addresses controlled by said implementation's developers?
If that's not palatable, then maybe the solution is an ecosystem-wide agreement between users and software developers to implement this subsidy across all BCH clients without writing it into the protocol?
EDIT: Apparently someone had a similar thought at nearly the same time as me and it didn't go over well 😂: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/c1wcwd/do_you_think_a_portion_of_miners_fees_could_be
