Bloody Fee's...

[Zaih]

How much do you think you've lost due to fee's? It really does add up over time. I sorta feel as if they contradict the whole idea of Bitcoins..

(Yeh yeh, I realise they have to be there, but they still suck & interested to see how much they've effected you guys)

And chucked this in speculation since it's speculators that trade the most

You don't have to pay fees, be like the rich, I just wait to age my coins, and I really haven't paid a fee in quite a while cause I age my coins.

Yeh fair call. But a lot of people are also here to speculate and trade and such. And to be fair, without the people who trade large volumes constantly, Bitcoin wouldn't be where it is at the moment.

I don't know what that has to do with aging coins? I also trade (exchange and here on the forums) never had an issue with fees, i have coins that I know are aged, and I use those. Get armory you can do better with coin control and that is what I do. I mark what date I got them age them by 3 days, then use the address when I need to spend them.

Remember aging is built into the protocol so just got to leavage it to your advantage.

Yeh cheers, I was completely thinking of the wrong thing. Thanks for clearing it up. I see where you're coming from now!

you have to become a miner

or

well there are ways of getting some fees back, but not directly.....provide a service!

I also didn't pay fees for some time (once I got really shocked because bitcoind added about 0.05 BTC of fees on its own -- yes, it was a very large transaction, but anyway).  Since then I built some scripts helping me handle fees, and when you are willing to wait up to a day to have a transaction confirmed, you don't even have to age your coins that much.  But of course, you have the trade-off to pay fees or have some inconveniences like slower confirmation.

If you're interested, look at: http://www.domob.eu/projects/coinCollection.php
But be sure you know what you're doing and that this is purely experiemental if you decide to give it a try.  It works well for me, though.

May I humbly suggest you set up your own server, pay for the bandwidth, employ staff, lease some offices, lease some office furniture and fitings advertise your presence and willingness to trade.

Build it and they will come.

Now explain to me again how you intend to monetise it?

It is not correct to use an apostrophe to indicate that a word is in the plural form.

Plural example: I can't stand all the fees I have to pay.

Singular possessive form: The fee's due date is tomorrow.

Plural possessive form: All the fees' due dates are tomorrow.

Contraction form of a single fee combined with the word 'is': Paying this fee's going to kill me.

What is your opinion of greengrocers' apostrophes?

[Wardrick]

Probably about $3000-$4000 total over the course of 1 in a half years.

fee's?

"fee's"... is that like, a Bar of a guy named Fee? Or a fancy restaurant chain?
Don't know it.

Also, "fees". Like "retards". < plural.

buy some vircurex shares at cryptostocks and your fee problem is offset quite a bit, and the shares have done well
