BIP00 is fine until miners are losing money because a) they cant fit all TX in a block even some with fees b) bitcoin become expensive to use therefore less useful, making its value DROP. This is all extrapolations. ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) + I dont see how miners would loose money including only transactions with fees. Besides, halving is coming so... Bitcoin's security should not be cheap, it is precisely what drives its token's value, again, not freely spamming the holy decentralized ledger with coffee tips. For this you can use whatever altcoin thats suits you. Maybe even banks blockchains? or ripple. ^^ Bitcoin is not for the mass, it is not user friendly. Hence, the mass dont care about bitcoin, or only when they get bailed in... but still not for buying crap over the internet. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) see this is where i went wrong, i though bitcoin was to buy crap over the internet. you're saying poeple ( alot of poeple ) are willing to pay huge fees to use bitcoin because it is holy? idk, maybe high fees makes all kinds of blockchain apps impractical. not sure i see much demand for large TX using bitcoin just yet. maybe oneday. with my BIP we can tell developers with a high degree of certainty that they can and always will be free to spam the holy decentralized ledger with wtv shit they wish so long as they pay a small fee.now that i've said it it sounds funny.

This i'm sure of it. a little "centralization" aka kicking the hobby miner with a DLS connection, is a small price to pay to keep bitcoin cheap. thats were our opinions differ i guess. i'd be OK with mining centralization that implies miners would need ~1million dollar to get into the bitcoin mining business and stay competitive we are far away from that but ya i'd be ok with that. arguing against any increase almost feels like saying we should of not invented diggers to dig up gold faster, so that anyone could continue to mine gold with a pick ax and still be profitable.

No. No need for a centralized source to have a default fee setting, Bitcoin Core has it.
Some (most) copies of Bitcoin Core have it. The reason they have it is because a centralized source put it there. Fortuantely, right now, it's just a "default fee" and not a "required fee" or "enforced fee". Therefore, anyone can change their own software to pay more or less if they want to. Thanks for the clarification, I thought the 3 points on Sending where somewhat blockchain dependent and not client dependent
