[UPDATE: 2015-05-10] Bitcoin Core soft-fork "No Forced TX Fee" v0.10.1 available

[ShadowOfHarbringer]

Each lawyer will tell you:
All these ARBITRARY and UNFORESEEABLE enforced transaction fees are ILLEGAL.

It cannot be down to miners whim, what at all and even HOW MUCH they want to claim.
A claim of fees must at least clearly be declared before a transaction is definitely mandated by users.

Otherwise there is no agreement.
No agreement, no fee.
And no other chicanry like delays or denial of service (seems also applied - illegally).

Wut ?

Seriously, this topic is not related to what you said and this is not a place for such discussion. Please start a new topic and stop derailing this one.

The law could not be closer related to what you call/ed "No Forced TX fee", "Freedom", "Getting robbed by miners".

in Block 237507 of what they seem trying to avoid by (illegal) fees.

64 transactions! Overall sum just 0.03297843 BTC!
SIZE 2.333 kB for almost nothing !!
Fee 0.0015   
http://blockexplorer.com/b/237507
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1GfV8CBz6rhKAzPRVt4jYiJLdghmvWptfR

A system taken seriously should not allow (or enforce??) such obvious nonsens at all.

And how is that related to this topic ?
If you haven't noticed, my fork takes LESS fees than the standard client.

Please discuss this in a thread dedicated to the STANDARD Bitcoin-Qt client, not NFTF client.

This topic is for discussion & support for the NFTF client fork.

Would be much easier to everyone, if anybody will provide compiled binaries for Windows...

Well that surely won't be me. I don't use "legacy technologies from twentieth century" as somebody stated on this forums.

My attempt at a Windows build:

This was built using Gitian with sipa's build script on a VMWare Ubuntu VM, running on a Windows 7 host machine. Audits are always welcome.

Can you provide more details? I tryed to compile on a VMWare Ubuntu myself, but got errors

This fork builds exactly the same way the normal client does. So just follow instructions on building the mainline client.

sipa's build script: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/builds/bitcoin-build.sh.txt

1. install: https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder (install dependencies, then "git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git")
2. git clone git://ShadowOfHarbringer/bitcoin-nftf/
3. rename folder "bitcoin-nftf" to "bitcoin-build"
4. follow the instructions to set up the gitian virtual machine
5. place dependencies in the input folder of gitian
5. ./bitcoin-build.sh nftf-v0.8.1

How would this work with a sendmany rpc json transaction?

[ShadowOfHarbringer]

How would this work with a sendmany rpc json transaction?

It will work with everything that the mainline client works with.

Well, except paying more fees of course.

Well it dosnt work when i use the debug console. It still is sending the default .0005 fee per 1kb.
Using a sendmany transaction.

No agreement, no fee.

does this have atopic location at all? I want to see comments on this style of thread

2013-06-23 Update:

NFTF - version 0.8.2 released.

Fresh tag - nftf-v0.8.2 is avaiable for download.
https://github.com/ShadowOfHarbringer/bitcoin-nftf/tags



PLEASE NOTE THAT UNTIL MAX BLOCK SIZE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED BY DEVELOPERS, SOME FREE (WITHOUT FEE) TRANSACTIONS CREATED BY THIS FORK MAY CONFIRM VERY SLOWLY OR NEVER.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE USING THIS FORK.

[luv2drnkbr]

Isn't this a configurable option in 0.8.2?  Or do we need your client for your forked chain?

[ShadowOfHarbringer]

Isn't this a configurable option in 0.8.2?  Or do we need your client for your forked chain?

Nope.

- Chain is not forked
- Transaction relaying is unaffected
- Everything except amount of fees when sending **your own money** is unaffected

This is a minor patch, nearly identical to official client.
You can simply send money paying less fees, but with higher risk of transaction not making it into a block (fees might not be enough).

I created this fork, because i didn't like the decision of the devs to raise fees some time ago without giving user any choice (a configuration option for God's sake !).

2013-08-19 Update:
