Title: Question about pooled mining and transaction fees Post by: Chaseshaw on September 10, 2012, 08:26:11 PM I was under the impression that the transaction fees were also awarded to the miners. So, on the large pools (I use slush, for instance), do they just pocket the transaction fees in addition to the btc "fee" they charge for the block generation?
What's the current transaction fee (on average) per block? Is this something to start being concerned about? Title: Re: Question about pooled mining and transaction fees Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on September 10, 2012, 08:31:26 PM Some pools forward tx fees, most keep it.
Currently tx fees revolve around 0.05 BTC which is 0.1%, I don't think they're something to worry about now. They definitely will be in the future.

They definitely will be in the future. TXN fees are increasing substrantially Ozcoin is regularly receiving TXN fees between 0.1 and 0.6 BTC per block, yesterday we had a good one at 0.8935006BTC of TXN fees 6 of the 24 pools listed here http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/top.php pay out txn fees as shown on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.0 TXN fees are paying more than the Namecoin component of Merged mining on Ozcoin, I think they are well worth worrying about :) Title: Re: Question about pooled mining and transaction fees Post by: crazyates on September 11, 2012, 04:24:41 AM sorry Meni TXN fees are increasing substrantially Ozcoin is regularly receiving TXN fees between 0.1 and 0.6 BTC per block, yesterday we had a good one at 0.8935006BTC of TXN fees 6 of the 24 pools listed here http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/top.php pay out txn fees as shown on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.0 TXN fees are paying more than the Namecoin component of Merged mining on Ozcoin, I think they are well worth worrying about :) TX fees are only going to get bigger, but only as Bitcoin adoption increases, not as the hash speeds increase, correct?

Avg tx fees are closer to 0.20 per block now. That is up from ~0.04 per block at the beginning of the year. Still small but they will be increasingly important. Say tx volume doubles and avg fee also doubles and this is after the subsidy cut goes into effect. That would make fees go from ~0.4% to ~3.0% of total compensation.
