On January 22, 2020, it was announced that a funding plan (the “Mandatory Funding Plan”) had been privately agreed upon by the BCH Mining Group and will be implemented on May 15, 2020 in conjunction with the next protocol upgrade of the BCH network. It was stated the Mandatory Funding Plan is proposed because BCH protocol developers do not have sufficient funds to support their continued infrastructure work; as a result, the BCH community has been discussing how to pay for the sustained protocol development work needed for the BCH network. The BCH Mining Group announced that the Mandatory Funding Plan is intended to last 6 months, until November 15, 2020, and will divert approximately USD $6 million worth of BCH coins from miner block rewards to a new Hong Kong corporation which would then provide funding to BCH developers. No details have been provided about who controls this new Hong Kong-based corporation or who will decide how to spend the BCH coins raised from the 12.5% forced contribution by miners.
It is Taal’s view that the Mandatory Funding Plan is a required “tax” enforced by orphaning BCH blocks mined by any operations that do not submit to the new scheme dictated by the five pools in the BCH Mining Group. If dissenting miners do not wish to pay the 12.5% contribution, they will have their blocks rejected (orphaned) by the BCH Mining Group and lose the entire block reward they would normally earn for writing a block. If the BCH Mining Group control a majority of BCH mining activity (including the significant anonymous portion of mining hash on the BCH network), they have the ability to unilaterally impose their will – and the 12.5% effective “tax” – upon minority miners, or alternatively force those minority participants off the BCH network by making it economically unviable to continue mining BCH.
In its opinion, Taal is concerned that the BCH Mining Group’s scheme may be viewed as coercive and give rise to securities law issues and antitrust concerns in numerous jurisdictions where BCH is mined and traded. Taal’s mining operations have been active in the past on the BCH network, but Taal is opting to avoid any potential legal risks by rejecting any participation in the BCH Mining Group’s Mandatory Funding Plan when it takes effect. Taal will continue to mine on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Bitcoin Core (BTC) networks.
Taal advocates and supports an open blockchain technology ecosystem that will sustain long-term growth of applications which generate high-volume transactions, such as on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain. This will enable blockchain cloud computing economics to evolve into a transaction fee-based model fueled by dramatically larger transaction volumes on the blockchain, to ensure long-term profitability as the static portion of Bitcoin block rewards reduces over time. Decisions that change the economic design of a blockchain network, reached by private agreements among a small group of entities who impose their will on that entire network, are the antithesis of a stable, secure, transaction-fee based model that ensures long-term economic health of a blockchain ecosystem. This is why Taal supports Bitcoin SV (BSV) as having the best roadmap to enable sustained profitability for all blockchain network participants.
