Co-ordinate to a argument earlier today, Jan. 28, Roger Ver'southward Bitcoin.com is backing downwardly from the 12.v% mining tax on Bitcoin Cash they proposed along with other major BCH mining pools owing to the customs's overwhelming negative response to the proposal.

Bitcoin.com'southward position

Concluding week, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) personalities proposed a 12.5% tax on mining rewards that would ostensibly become to funding network development. Now Bitcoin.com has rejected the proposed mining taxation unless serious alterations are made:

"As information technology stands now, Bitcoin.com volition not go through with supporting any plan unless there is more agreement in the ecosystem such that the adventure of a chain split is negligible. We retrieve information technology is clear that the existing proposal does not take enough support."

In the post, Bitcoin.com urged transparency, flexibility and unity.

Bitcoin.com suggests that a lack of ecosystem agreement risks a dissever in the chain, though they seem to exist looking for means to fund farther development:

"We volition be working to come upwardly with a plan that is profitable for all the relevant parties and which preserves the key economics of Bitcoin Greenbacks."

The mail ends with a telephone call for more than flexibility:

"A permanent proposal would be in issue a carte blanche on development and would incentivise "development for development's sake," which would defeat the purpose of the fundraising [...] to create fast, reliable, digital cash upon a stable, largely unchanging, economically rational Bitcoin protocol."

Critics assail the proposal

Cointelegraph reported final week on the proposed tax published past Btc.top CEO Jiang Zhuoer. The "infrastructure funding plan" would have miners transport 12.5% of mining rewards to an entity in Hong Kong. The co-signing entities repped 27% of hashrates. Most controversially, the proposal included "orphaning" non-compliant miners — the practice of removing blocks from the chain that resembles a 51 percent attack.

Critics underscored the routing of funds to a corporation instead of a nonprofit and the absenting of a voting process, which would hateful company owners would control BCH evolution. Other complaints included Chinese government interference and profitability since the revenue enhancement would bear upon miner revenues.

In other news on cryptocurrencies looking to fund evolution, Litecoin's Charlie Lee pitched that miners donate 1% of their rewards to development on Jan. 24.
