This release drops the default fee required to relay transactions across the
network to 0.01mBTC per kilobyte. Note that getting a transaction relayed across
the network does NOT guarantee that the transaction will be accepted by a miner
and included in a block, and the default fee accepted by miners remains 0.1mBTC
per kilobyte.
network and for miners to consider the transaction in their blocks to
0.01mBTC per kilobyte.
As in previous releases, the relay fee may be changed with the -minrelaytxfee
command-line option, and miners may change the default minimum fee they accept
with the -mintxfee command-line option.
Note that getting a transaction relayed across the network does NOT guarantee
that the transaction will be accepted by a miner; by default, miners fill
their blocks with 50 kilobytes of high-priority transactions, and then with
700 kilobytes of the highest-fee-per-kilobyte transactions.
The minimum relay/mining fee-per-kilobyte may be changed with the
minrelaytxfee option. Note that previous releases incorrectly used
the mintxfee setting to determine which low-priority transactions should
be considered for inclusion in blocks.
The wallet code still uses a default fee for low-priority transactions of
0.1mBTC per kilobyte. During periods of heavy transaction volume, even this
fee may not be enough to get transactions confirmed quickly; the mintxfee
option may be used to override the default.
