Q: If enforcing the 1sat/byte minfee is generally now to protect against open doublespends, why don't miners just make a rule to delay 0-fee txs by at least N blocks (N >= 1) as a rule, either informal or coded up?
Maybe my brain is still switched of RN, but it seems to me that way we could solve the "interference" of minfee-breaking txs with 0-conf. I could be totally wrong...
... but it would be nice to bring back a small percentage of free transactions as Satoshi wrote (not urgent, but in time), without breaking the nice 0-conf that we (BCH) can provide.
