By the way, doesn't have to destroy them, can just give them to miners. In any case, what's wrong with my reasoning? Smart property/colored coins are not spam transactions because they pay fee= s. The problem for the network are not transactions that move less coins than they pay fees, but old UNSPENT OUTPUTS. So why don't you focus on that instead of a formula to check what transactions make "economic sense"? I even prefer the sudden "destruction" (or re-generation by miners) of the account after the X period (killerstorm's proposal) instead of just rejecting great potential use cases for the chain. I mean, I still prefer a small fixed demurrage fee after those X blocks without moving them, but since this community is demurrage allergic and that possibility cannot even be considered (doesn't matter what reflects better the costs for miners/the network I guess), I'll go with the second best option IMO. This would be just a fee for a resource that users are enjoying and has real costs for the network. Why would constant demurrage fees after a free storage period would be perceived so different from transaction fees? I haven't heard anyone complaining about "the bitcoin developers are destroying part of YOUR coins every time you move them!!"
