This is a topic I think about during every new software update. If im not mistaken, it seems masternodes have always led the charge with upgrading their software to the latest version with miners lagging behind preventing the network from fully upgrading. Perhaps the network can incentivize miners somehow.
My first idea was to maybe during a software upgrade have the block reward split percentage shift in their favor temporarily for X number of blocks to give them an economic incentive to shift over, then later returning to what it currently is. Miners would rather mine a chain on a new version that would give them a greater reward even if its only temporary. Is that plausible? Im just curious to what the community and those with more technical knowledge think
