Ethereum 1 dot X: a half-baked roadmap for mainnet improvements

[ldct]

A much cheaper class of temporary storage would be great. It seems to me that in many applications which require storage but not permanent storage, we know how long temporary storage should be allocated for (e.g. EIPs/EIPS/eip-1153.md at master · ethereum/EIPs · GitHub, and also many layer 2 designs), or at least a reasonable upper bound for it.

I was also wondering if setting non-zero values to zero could be not only subsidized but rewarded, as a way to incentivize clearing unused storage. I saw there has been a proposal along these lines by @axic. Has there been more discussion on why this might not be viable?

IMO providing incentives for clearing storage in a way that doesn’t also incentivize gastoken is impossible
