Add draft BIP: Bitcoin Dormant Recovery Proposal (BDRP)

Open Danger-MaN opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

This pull request adds a draft of a new BIP project titled the "Bitcoin Dormant Refund Proposal (BDRP)."

The BIP project introduces a voluntary Long-Term Proof-of-Activity (LTAP) mechanism to distinguish between lost and dormant coins after more than 100 years, allowing them to be re-mined.

This proposal respects the principles of immutability and user sovereignty. We welcome your feedback.

By the way, similar ideas have been discussed at least since 2011. You can find a few relevant topics on Bitcoin Stack Exchange under the tag "shrinking-money-supply".
