4 years ago Here is a graph using https://github.com/JoeGruffins/pyscripts/blob/master/plotfees/main.py and looking at the last 10004 transactions on mainnet.
This graph uses 1e4 as the standard rate and multiples of that rate. i.e. 1e4 rates are shown as 1 on the x axis and 1e4 * 10 would be a 10. Rates near 400 are paying 400 times the default rate (actually a flat rate of 0.01dcr). y axis is number of instances.
1047 or 10% of transactions used a fee higher than the default.
There are barely any low fee transactions. Only 9 in the set. But those that did pay a low fee paid 4000 a/kb fee.
The majority of high fee's came from 10 ~ 15 times the default. 198 cases or 19% of those that paid high fees at all. Of these the average was 114000 a/kb.
As such I think it makes sense for the low fee to be 4000 a/kb and high fee to be 114,000 a/kb.
Add a relay fee to settings and allow changing. The fee is not yet used.
In an attempt to keep prs small, this only adds the setting, it does not use it.
