SPV isn't the "right" way either ;)

=E2=80=8BHah, fair enough, there is no such thing as the "r= ight" way to do anything. But I still think punishing users who use SP= V wallets is =E2=80=8Ba less-than-ideal way to incentive people to run full= nodes. Right now SPV is the best way that exists for mobile phones to part= icipate in the network in a decentralized way. This proposal makes the user= experience for mobile wallets a little more confusing and annoying.

If you're running a full node (the real "right way"), you sho= uld be able to
earn more bitcoins than you pay out.
