RFC: Limit Coinbase TX Size

[bitcoincashautist]

I think it’s already limited due to how ASICs are designed, and that is unlikely to change, so you can pretty much count on them being small, but there’s still 0.01% chance someone decides to somehow mine a bigger one.

What would be a worse scenario, somebody invents new type of P2Pool that actually works as well as normal pools and starts using coinbase TXes on it.

Then we suddenly kill it with such an upgrade. That would be bad.

This exists on Monero - https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool

and coinbase TX’s can get pretty big - Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer
