With the release of 0.8.2 organofcorti and I both thought it would be useful for pool users and merchants to understand the fee rules used by pool operators so that miners could make a choice of pool based partly on whether they supported those rules and merchants could understand the fees they needed to pay. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg2312307#msg2312307 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg2312307#msg2312307)

To achieve this aim we would like pool operators to provide the information below:

• bitcoind version - version you are using to build/validate blocks
• blockminsize - minimum block size you will create
• blockmaxsize - maximum block size you will create
• blockprioritysize - size dedicated to low priority/fee tx's
• mintxfee - the minimum tx fee to include in majority of block
• mintxrelayfee - the minimum tx fee relayed (although doubt relevant)
• Other - any other unique/special features of your tx selection process

If we manage to get enough responses (50% of the hashing power?) organofcorti agreed to create a new sticky thread called "Mining Pool Fee Rules" to collate the information.
