Encouraging miners & developers to understand the implications of authenticating or not authenticating data is essential. The future utility of blockchain technology lies in striking a balance between flexibility, security, & economic incentives.

"It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)

maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete. When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade".

Having done so is another reason to know that it’s always possible & necessary under certain conditions but not a fixation that would dirty the value of bitcoin! If the world had not known bitcoin, would it have Russian berserkers who would haunt with ransomware ???

Algorithm or mechanism: optimization of the distribution of rewards within a mining pool:

Miners are incentivized to stay within the pool, avoiding the temptation to leave & form new coalitions.

The distribution is fair, considering each miner's computational power, investment & risk.

The mechanism is resistant to manipulation & external competition, ensuring long-term pool stability.

2) Given the real existence of mining pools (coalitions) in Bitcoin mining, the need for stability & cohesion within these pools, we could formulate a mathematical problem that would optimize the allocation of rewards between miners within a mining pool to ensure long-term stability & equity while taking into account factors such as contributions, risks & external competition…
