Topic: Change paytxfee without restarting? (Read 3258 times)
Patch updated, to remove lower bound on TX fee.
Blockexplorer agrees with your gettransaction output, too:

Sounds like a rounding issue somewhere...

Yeah, it must be. I sent BTC 1.00 to someone else, and that transaction had a fee of BTC 0.01.
Cheers,

EDIT: nevermind 
Hm, there's something I don't understand. I set txfee to BTC 0.01, then sent jgarzik BTC 0.99, thinking that this would add up to BTC 1.00. However:
How come the fee ended up being BTC 0.02 instead of 0.01?
Cheers,

So far, so good. I ran “bitcoind settxfee 0.01” from the commandline, and now “btc getinfo” shows “"paytxfee" : 0.01000000”.
Thanks for your help!!

I agree it should be change-able at runtime. Long-running nodes will want to adapt to changing network conditions, without needing to restart bitcoind.
Exactly!

Here's a patch: http://yyz.us/bitcoin/patch.bitcoin-settxfee
Any volunteers to test ?

Hi,
I'd like to change bitcoind's ‘paytxfee’ value on the fly — i.e., without restarting bitcoind — but I can't seem to find a suitable jsonrpc command…
Anyone?
