implementing fee is actually good so that not everybody can use. The rich get richer and the poor remain poor because they can't afford miner. Also prevent flooding of hashrate , good idea. Maybe in the future every new algo will need to pay fee. That is a really good idea. But I don't think Christian would want that. Right ? Christian is in for the love , not for greed. I bet relasing x11 would make a lot of people happy , partly because they have a lot of new coins to play with and they can participate in mainstream algo. Performance of algo is one thing , being able to mine the algo is another. I don't mind mining x11 with 1 mh on gtx 750 ti and later get performance boost, at least I can mine that algo and be happy about it.
The problem with the fee is not necessarily the fee itself, it is everything else actually:
* no open source code (meaning you cannot check what is really in); that blocks further development since only 1 persons has access to the code (more people means more optimization, new ideas etc...)
* you are limited on what you run, on the pool you run etc..
* defeat the purpose of crypto currency (both the decentralized stuff and the "corrupt banker" part)
ok I am so fed up with this xpm crap (their mafia, their software, their pool, their unfriendly ddos to new pool... meaning all the crap they bring to cryptoworld) that I can't be for fee software...
that's what I am trying to say. Its for love and not for greed.
