Title: How to relay dust...
Post by: luv2drnkbr on May 30, 2013, 04:16:50 PM
I was under the impression that I could relay dust by adding this in my config:

mintxfee=0.00000000
mintxrelayfee=0.00000000

but somebody told me that one or both of those could not have a value of zero.  Which one(s) can't be zero, and why?

(Pretty please I beg of you don't post about dust being bad..., I just want to know HOW to relay it if I wanted to.  I DON'T want to have a drawn out debate about the merits of doing so!)

the behavior seems to be a bug (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2673).

so you can:
  • don't use 0.8.2rc (it's release candidate for a reason)
or...
  • make a patch that fixes it and recompile it yourself. bonus: submit pull request.

edit: see strikeout
