Hi Shadow,

This is an interesting fork and I'm going to read through the thread in more detail.  I have an interest in forwarding small bitcoin amounts between addresses where low fees are more important than timeliness.

If I understand correctly, there are typically currently more transactions spots available per block than are currently being used, so is there any reason that a transaction with the minimum fees will not get incorporated in to the next block?  I'm not sure why there would be any delay if this is the case, and from blockchain.info, all the blocks appear to be under 1M in size.  Any insight here?

Anyways, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess I have to find some way to have a huge number of small, old coins in reserve to both keep the minimum priority for each transaction above 57.6 M and each transaction under 1 kB in order to have the network process a transaction with a 0 fee.

Cheers,

Erik
