I'm not sure what you mean by "assuming the sidecoins aren't being used up by miners somewhere". Could you go in to detail?
What do you mean by "different sidechains picking different forms of payment?".
Doesn't all of this basically guarantee that the mining rewards of Sidecoin need to be exactly matched to Bitcoin? If so, what's the point of sidechains at all?
