Title: [idea] Mostly for miners and people that forget fees.
Post by: gweedo on March 06, 2013, 11:14:55 PM
I been seeing more newbies that either get a transaction that has no fee or send a transaction without a fee. This leaves them waiting for hours and maybe days, also as the network grows this could be weeks, or months. Can't a miner put up a site, and maybe charge more like BTC0.05 or BTC0.1 and all you would have to do is pay that fee and give them information for that transaction that is stuck and the miner can guarantee you a spot in the next block they mine? I mean this has to be possible and just a market that is waiting to tapped.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but it was my understanding that if a block contains transactions that don't fit the fee rules, the block won't be relayed by most nodes, which would lead to a much larger chance of an orphan.

But how does that work, cause hundreds of zero-fee transactions get put into blocks at some point? What I am saying is this wouldn't have anything to do with the blockchain. You just pay a miner, a fee, so that they will include that transaction attached to the fee, in the next block they mine. Your paying a fee outside of the blockchain fee for a mess up.

I think this is a very good idea!
