Blocks continue to be mined. It is just that the reward for doing so becomes zero

- egdod 7y agoThis is wrong and doesn’t even make sense. If there were no reward, blocks would not keep getting mined.
- etherael 7y agoIt's kinda wrong in the sense that the fees still exist, but it's right in the sense that the "block reward" is terminology used to refer to the fraction of miner revenue in each block which increases the total supply. That part does indeed stop after 21m according to the current codebase.
