I remember designs for DNS-like services on alternative blockchains where you were supposed to pay the miners in Bitcoins after the fact. Or the miners could be paid for processed blocks by a central organizer (e.g. the central bank if we think about a banking application people seem to be desperately searching for some reason).<p>There has to be an incentive for miners to work with the network, but it doesn&#x27;t have to be intrinsic to the network.
