The authors don't seem have a good grasp of incentives: > Miners should be encouraged through regulation and incentives to add transactions to the next block on the basis of the timestamp and not the fee. Fees, or rather fee-rates (fee per byte) are the only incentive miners have for including transactions, and no amount of regulation can or should change that. Miners do not care how long ago a transaction arrived in the mempool.
