I think it's the miners competing - higher fee then you are more likely to be included in the next block, if you have no fee and a small transaction might get dropped by the spam detection algo. But not 100% sure, I'm a speculator and user, not a dev.

I'm pretty sure there is an automatic algorithm built into both BTC and BCH that looks for really small transactions (less than $0.01c) and makes sure they don't get included in blocks. a cup of coffee would never get blocked, unless the block is too full to hold everyone's transactions - so fees go up to $50 as we saw in dec

>> No.9149026

>>9148973
Ok but that doesn't make sense, there has always been miners competition and I used to send transactions with no fee on the next block. So in BCH why is it different?

And actually come to think of it, when I separated some BCH into my phone there was a 0.1mBCH minimum fee (and no consumer wallets with batching either that I could find) that's like 13 cents. I can get a BTC transaction right now for that price so why would I use BCH?

how is it spam if the attacker pays for it?

1 byte is currently 1 satoshi. 32000000 bytes to fill up a block. that's 0.32 BCH you'd have to pay every 10 minutes.

and that only gives your spam transactions the same chance to get into the block as normal transactions so you'd realistically have to pay 2 satoshis per byte, so 0.64 BCH per 10 min

go ahead and spam Bitcoin Cash for 92.16 BCH per day sir. just 944455.68 USD worth per week. im sure that won't motivate more miners to jump from BTC to BCH either, sir.

That's called the dust threshold, where it is unlikely that it will ever be reconsolidated because the fee will eat it for the memory space of a new input.

>> No.9149139

>>9149026
Yeah, a lot of the exchanges fix their fees and haven't adjusted since BCH greatly improved in hashpower. If you try sending from your own phone or desktop BCH wallet you will pay much less.
If your transaction is of a decent size, say $5 you probably could send it without a fee and a miner would pick it up. Just some tiny chance it gets marked as spam. Looks like current average transaction fee people attach is 10cents for Big Dick Bitcoin (BCH).
On micropenis BTC it's $1.91

Mempool.observer says I could get into the next block or two with a 5sat/byte fee. And a standard tx in Bitcoin is about 226 bytes for one input, two outputs. That's 1130sats or about 10 cents. Just because the average is higher doesn't mean it's actually a better deal, it's just idiots overpaying, which if anything proves people don't care much about a $2 fee, at least not enough to switch or even stop paying it (because it's optional, and even advised against).

>>9149183
paying 1 satoshi per byte currently guarantees your transaction gets into the very next BCH block. if you're on some place that has any higher fees than that send them an email and tell them to lower it to 1 sat/byte.

it IS a huge problem. very common, a quick look at a recent block verifies:
https://explorer.bitcoin.com/bch/block/0000000000000000009ece7f63706e6edddd466cebe60a0c49516a45cb65e9dd

some places sets 100 satoshis per byte as fees which is ridiculous. check the last page and you can see all of the 1 sat/byte transactions that get included in the block with no problem. the blocks are nowhere near full so no more is needed.

some people use even less than 1 sat/byte, although then it's no longer guaranteed to get in into the very next block (spam protection for many miners)

I see, that's interesting. So people are just overpaying.
Still, at some point lightning will have to work, or fees go back up again. and people do care about $50 fees. Made me stating looking for alternative back in Dec
