The computation of the claim trie is the bottleneck on sync, and it will soon be the overall bottleneck on each new block. Many LBRY streams presently use this mechanism but have no need for claim competition, as they are grouped by channel.
We need to enable a mechanism to allow these streams-in-a-channel to migrate to a non-competitive registration. The proposed method is that we will modify the trie to ignore claims for the root node (aka, claims with an empty name will no longer compete). We will no longer allow someone to competitively claim the root node; there's no way to view it presently anyhow.
