Alaska Anon made a suggestion on MoneroTopia that if possible I like and doesnt fuck with tokenomics.

Basically, what would happen is the reward would stay the same at 0.6 XMR per block. However if any minor except for P2pool finds that block, they get 0.5 XMR per block and the 0.1 gets held back. When P2pool finds a block, they get the 0.5 that every other miner gets, plus they get the 0.1 from each block previous that wasn't found by a P2pool miner. So for example, if P2 pool finds a block after 11 blocks were found by other nodes, they would get 0.5 plus 1 Monero as a block reward. The 0.5 for mining the block and 0.1*10 from the rewards held back from the previous blocks.

He was saying this could cause headlines such as "P2pool reward hits all time high".

Just imagine, for example, if they missed 99 blocks, the reward would be 0.1 x 99 plus the 0.5 for the block.

Some flaws with this idea:

1. Apparently, consensus cannot tell a P2pool block from another block without it being possibly cheated in some way and negating the positive effect.

2. This punishes other pools, but it also punishes solo miners.

3. consolidating all the small outputs from P2 pool is already somewhat expensive now and with FCMP may be made worse.
