I do hope that adding Miners Reward + Fees will spark a discussion:
http://www.ounce.meIt's not that I am against the miners reward + fees, but at least this lays it out in another perspective, every 10 minute perspective.
This way we can now have a honest debate regarding the current fee rate, and if it's too much or not.
Remember these miners invested alot of money into hardware, etc... so fees ARE justified, every 10 minutes a miner gets roughly $4,500 (updated live) but the debate is basically regarding today's prices if THAT much of a fee is justified.
