Fees are literally as low as they can go. 1 sat/byte without a hard fork. It's like a bacteria and a virus, a big difference I guess, but completely irrelevant on the human scale.
How can you say there is no need? Why should we wait for a need to arise? If BCH goes up 10x in price (very likely) fees will be over a penny. This is too high IMO.
There's an attitude in his tone that I don't like. Developers working in BCH are volunteers, they are not getting salary for people to shout at them why things aren't done.
...and by the way, I will personally chip in again. Anyway, a limited 0 sat/byte tx per. block has been discussed at some point, so it is not a totally unfamiliar issue.
Paid for a specific roadmap which they are working on. Issues like this should be followed up on technical channels like gitlab or BCHN/BU slack. Otherwise it's just not constructive.
This whole thread doesn't make a sense. BCH obviously has very low fees and still someone is here complaining about fees. I don't think it's a legit concern even for the OP
I agree it's not sustainable for new users tho, but the problem with BTC is not that fiat price is high, it's that satoshi price is high. If you could pay 1 sat per byte in BTC
BTC's inability to scale means it is just a matter of time before people realize it's crap compared to more modern alternatives. Worst at everything except brand name recognition.
just ask yourself. who exactly is collecting these fees? and where do they go to? and who is regulating the amount needed to be considered as fees paid?
The ABC team have forked off BCH, but Mark Lundeberg who made the proposal works for BCHN now, so there is a good chance, if people ask BCHN nicely :-)
If they do resurrect this, it should specify _absolutely_ that only OP_RETURN transactions are acceptable for this feature. Or, perhaps, only the OP_RETURN component is zero-fee.
ABC still runs a BCH node implementation. The node implementation for the IFP chain has indeed forked off, but they haven’t left the BCH space completely.
Free transactions were awesome... I doubt we’ll be getting these on BCH with the current leadership... Sad, because it would have been a great + for BCH!
| amount of 0 sats/byte txs in a block. Maybe contacting the node devs from BCHN, BU, BCHD etc. and ask if this is something that is still on the table..?
