How did FreshCoin (old coin) manage to set the transaction fees to a percentage?

[murderouskirk]

Hey all,

I've been looking into percentage based transaction fees over flat rates. It was pointed out to me that FreshCoin claims to have done this.

After 7 days, mandatory transaction fees of 0.1-0.5%, to ensure mining remains profitable without coin supply inflation

I've been digging into it and for the life of me can't figure out if and how they actually pulled it off.

I can't seem to find any fee toggle that kicks in after 7 days. Nor can I find any percentage based fee code.

It could be I'm just missing it.

Are there other coins that claim to have accomplished this? Can anyone see where freshcoin accomplished it?

Thanks all.

Hi, just saw this. I will answer in name of savale (hope will not make mistake). It is shown in code and wallet, so under minimal fee you cannot change it as you want. Over that minimal fee you can put whatever you want. On the other side, if you are using freshonline fee is 0% .

Look at the code on git, if you are hard to find it, I could ask savale to help you out with this.

This not it? https://github.com/savale/freshcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L722

Are there other coins that claim to have accomplished this?

A handful: https://github.com/search?q=PercentageFeeSendingBegin&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Edit: Ah, it's an earlz job, first saw the light of day in Fractalcoin's code https://github.com/fractalcoin/fractalcoin
