finally it's clear what you meant with fees. Guys don't use wallets which charge you for incoming transactions. Just don't use them. it is crazy.
Cloudhashers.net, you still DO NOT UNDERSTAND. And it is this rather stubborn non-understanding that is worrisome to every sane person.
And I'm getting pissed.
No wallet charges for incoming transactions, ever. You did pay a fee to transmit it to our wallet addresses, this is true. But you paid bitcoin miners for this, not a "wallet" per se.
But we don't ever pay anything for incoming bitcoin transactions to our wallets.
But like you when we want to SPEND OUR BITCOINS, we customers DO HAVE TO PAY A FEE TO SEND OUT BITCOINS FROM OUR WALLETS to bitcoin miners, just like you did when you sent out bitcoin from your wallet to ours.
AN Example:
For the past few weeks, I've been getting a bitcoin payout in the amount of 0.0025 BTC every hour. I now got thousands of these tiny incoming transactions.
Let's say I want to send you 0.5 BTC. You give me an bitcoin address to send it to and in my wallet, I paste that bitcoin address of yours. Then I try to send out 0.5 BTC, and now all hell breaks loose...
...you see, I don't have 0.5 BTC available in a SINGLE transaction I got from you. No, every incoming payout from YOU to ME is just 0.0025 BTC (as an example).
So, what does my desktop wallet software (bitcoin-qt) do automatically? Bitcoin-QT wallet will send out 2000 transactions of 0.0025 BTC each (2000 x 0.0025 BTC = 0.5 BTC). So now Bitcoin-QT wallet has the 0.5 BTC to send, but what do you know.... Bitcoin-QT will add 0.0001 BTC FEE for each 1K in the transaction. Assuming here each transaction is 500 bytes, so for 2000 transactions, that's 1000K bytes. Bitcoin-QT will add 0.0001 BTC x 1000 = 0.1 BTC FEE.
So in this simplified example, Bitcoin-QT will add a fee of 0.1 BTC which will be paid to bitcoin miners for us to send you 0.5 BTC that involves 2000 incoming transactions. Our total outlay is 0.6 BTC to send you 0.5 BTC.
Us wallet users have the option of not sending any transaction fee but guess what, not adding a fee risks your transaction not being relayed by anyone and after a few days, the amount will be returned to one's wallet! So we are "forced" to pay a fee (especially for such a small amount of 0.5 BTC.)
Would it not be better for you cloudhashers.net to just send out ONE payout per day instead of your current TWENTY FOUR PAYOUTS PER DAY?
Please, please and please say now you understand the duress you are placing us under! (well the CEX hack it a great work-around. But still...)
For the example on your twitter where someone pasted a picture of his wallet accounting, the payouts you made to him totalled 0.00543864 BTC return, but the FEES TO SPEND THIS totalled .0061 BTC, A LOSS!!! That is why he said "UnProfitable Investment". He can't spend that 0.00543864 BTC ever.
Do you understand? It's spending that is the problem, not receiving. There are so many tiny payouts that the cost for bitcoin miners to handle a outgoing transaction is more than the btc amount is worth! Cause of what YOU DID by sending out tons of transactions!!!
It is rather stunning that you do not understand how bitcoin transactions actually happens in the most fundamental of ways...
One more quick example for completeness:
Say you sent me in one lump transaction, 1 BTC. Now I want to buy something on gyft that costs me 0.9 BTC. Using my trusty ol' Bitcoin-QT wallet, Bitcoin-QT says "wow, there's a 1 BTC transaction for me to use, I'll use it for my master's 0.9 BTC send request!"
So it transmits this 1 BTC transaction but only says "send 0.9 BTC to Gyft". But wait, that leaves 0.1 unaccounted for! So what's a ledger/blockchain pleasing wallet to do? Well, in the SAME TRANSACTION, it says to send 0.1 BTC to another bitcoin address.
Is thievery going on? No, Bitcoin-QT has automatically generated a new receiving bitcoin address for your wallet. This is called the "change" bitcoin address because it collects any "change" that results when an incoming transaction is larger than the amount debited.
And this bitcoin change is available for your wallet's future use. And bitcoin-qt will "hide" this incoming change transaction from the history list. No additional transaction fee is necessary for this hidden incoming bitcoin as the fees were already taken cared of by the original 0.9 BTC payment to Gyft.
