Zerofee transactions #20

Open ktechmidas opened 6 years ago

ktechmidas commented 6 years ago

It says 100 sats/b will be confirmed within 25 blocks, which is wrong for Garlicoin and will not allow me to send a zero-fee transaction which should also work.

Any plans to enable zero-fee transactions?

ssateneth commented 6 years ago

zero fee transactions give miners no incentive to include your transaction in the next block, especially since it makes the next block larger and take more time to propagate across the network, which increases the likelyhood of the block orphaning (someone else could mine a block with less transactions in it and it'll propagate faster than the block with a bunch of zero fee tx's in it if both blocks are mined at the same time).

allowing zero-fee in garlium won't have any point since miners will selectively not confirm your zero fee transaction, since its too much risk for zero reward. just pay the damn tx fee.

@ssateneth what about 1sats/b - 99sats/b ? why aren't they allowed

ktechmidas commented 6 years ago

@ssateneth I send zero-fee all the time in Dash and they always get confirmed, the miners get paid by the block reward which right now is more than enough. You shouldn't be dictating what people can and can't do, if it's possible let the people decide, giving all the warnings you should be that it may be a Bad Idea.

Also yes, what about 1sats/b - 99sats/b?
