š Original message:Suggestions to make changes to Bitcoin's consensus protocol will only ever be entertained if Bitcoin is completely dead without such a change. Any attempt to change consensus protocol without a clear and convincing demonstration to the entire network of participants that Bitcoin will die without that change is a waste of your own time. Bitcoin's resistance to consensus changes is a feature that makes it resistant to being coopted and corrupted. I recommend developers focus on making improvements that do not attempt to change the consensus protocol. Otherwise, you are simply working on an altcoin, which is off-topic here.
