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. |
