because the setting has 0 effect on anything
Discussion
This seems like a problem for Bitcoin in general
That's beside the point, and arguable.
But I appreciate the respectful back and forth.
If it has zero effect, but is this important to so many Bitcoiners, why take it away and lose so much trust?
Wow 🤣 you're either lying or very, very gullible.
its true, 99.999% of the nodes filter <1sat/vb yet blocks are filled with them.
it's a stupid slider because most tx's are 160-240vbytes so there's plenty of smaller units.
When talking to another bitcoin dev about this, i suggested a >0 relay fee setting, since 0 is a DoS vector and 1sat/vb is arbitrary. not sure what other bitcoin devs think about this though.
