Fee Policy changes
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC
|
||||
(for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is
|
||||
about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
|
||||
|
||||
Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee
|
||||
(0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them
|
||||
costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually
|
||||
cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
|
||||
|
||||
Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included
|
||||
in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are
|
||||
included in a block.
|
||||
|
||||
The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee
|
||||
command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees
|
||||
with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the
|
||||
0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from
|
||||
the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm.
|
||||
|
||||
