Hi Kyle.
Since the commercial miners with their industrial scale rigs are then able to scoop only the best and most lucrative transactions for inclusion in their block (not judging them — that’s business), would it open the doors for private small scale miners to mine the leftovers? We seem to have a growing volume of UTXO’s that are (at current conditions) not economically viable (for the big miners). I’d be quite happy to mine away at a few transactions (with little or no transaction fees) for a 12.5 BTC reward :-). In that way, more miners are added and that’s good for Bitcoin in the long run, is it not?
I’m new to this, so please excuse me if I’m missing a few details.
