W.r.t the above, I was under the impression that both the block reward and transaction fees were locked into the Coinbase transaction of the next block, not spendable for about 100+ confirmations or so (not sure I remember this exactly right). Once the block reward is gone or becomes less incentives significant than transaction fees, wouldn't extension of the amount of time for collection fix such gaming of the system? It's been about 9 months or so since I referenced Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos (now I believe you have to pay on one of the sites to access it).
The idea here is if you have a period of say 2 weeks to a month that by the time you cash out your forked version of the rewards, bitcoin's value has gone to zero and there's nothing to collect because the Nash equilibrium here would be the expectation that everyone else would do the same (am I using Nash right?). I would think this would disincentivise forking.
