transaction fee

[Noitev]

why dont miners always have every pending transaction with a transaction fee in their block? what advantage does it have to not include transactions?

Well, I believe online wallet (blockchain, inputs) have less transaction fees. It's quite dangerous not to have transactions fee (some hacked wallet) cause your sending could go missing.

Normally miners include highest priority transactions and all transactions with a fee (with highest fee ones taking priority). And they do that up to a certain block size.

The higher the transaction fee, the faster your transaction complete. If your data is too huge, try to avoid no transaction fee as it could go missing for some reason.

There is a limit to how big a block can be.

mcxnow txfees are 0.001, which is very high, but get's sent through very quickly

Too high, I did rather it get sent through slower

the standard fee is 0.0001

0.001 is a bit bizarre

i have my client configured to accept only 0.0005, i can't imagine any pools requiring higher.  most (if not all) just use standard config on tx fees?

with 10 blocks per hour,  you don't really have to worry about a backlog... like, say, 6 months ago
