https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/48eg6y/alex_petrov_of_bitfury_highfee_spam/I dont understand this. Many times previously ppl were saying that transactions with zero or ultra low fees are spam and need to be disregarded. Also it was said many times over, that if someone is complaining about transaction time, he/she should had used higher fee. Ok, this I understand.
But now, if there is many transaction with high fees, they are labeled spam!!! How come? So low or nil fees are spam, high fees are spam as well? So what fees should ppl use? Medium fees only, if both high and low fees are considered spam?
