Not sure what gbt means, something block template?
Take transactions primarily from user input. When that doesn't fill blocks take the rest from the sharechain. Have a marketplace where users can submit transactions directly for ecash and the miner works on it for a set amount of time. If they find a share it will make it into the sharechain and other miners MIGHT pick it up if the fees are good enough. We can externalize the mempool as a nostr relay network, again paid in ecash.
If miners are distributed across the globe, mining for heat or to match electrical load to electrical demand, then profitability is not the primary concern. I am generally skeptical of this model where every miner needs to compete against all other miners in the world using global state. It's the wrong model. It's not going to work long term. We should ditch that idea now and start working towards a more resilient architecture.
This will be a very unpopular idea because people are too attached to lightning. I'm beginning to view lightning as a bootstrap tech.
