Title: Block rewards
Post by: klimpa on February 24, 2017, 07:49:22 PM
Hi!

Sorry for nub question. Does transaction fees count into found block reward. So basically if pool solves block do they get "only" 12.5BTC or also fees (around 1.2BTC now) making total to 13.7 BTC. That is unless block is empty.

Thank you!

Block reward and fees are separate.  Indeed as long as you're not mining empty blocks (and you know who you are...  >:( ) and the pool if you're on one isn't keeping the fees for themselves (you know who you are too...  :P ) then you get both the block reward and all the fees attached to the transactions confirmed in the block.

Typically pools should be getting the reward plus the fees that were included with the transactions, unless there is an empty block being mined, in which there are no fee rewards and you should expect to just see the normal block reward, as specified a few posts above me.

Don't worry about asking questions, there is nothing wrong with that.

the numbers of TX with that solved with that block go their pocket, it's not only about high fee for them it's also about number of TX per block

but guess what numbers of tx per block is limited, therefore it should be in their intention to promote a higher limit, to have more tx per block and thus more btc in fee

whoever is saying that miners onyl want higher fee and they lie to have 1mb limit is wrong...
