Current fee 0.0001 BTC is too high price, especially if transfer amount is low

Impossible question. It depends on all sorts of things since the cost isn't determined entirely by mining now, but also the cost of data transmission in the future and how blocks and the blockchain are compressed. How do these millions of transactions affect data drive and RAM MTBF and what's the cost to replace damaged components? What's the price of CPU cycles in the future? Each transaction today is a burden on our kids, our kids' kids, and our kids' kids' kids' kids, and those burdens would have to be accounted for in determining what's fair, which is impossible (or at least very time-consuming to estimate). -And unless the protocol changes radically, there's no way to pay them this theoretical fair price, anyway, since it all goes to miners.

... maybe $.08-25.

Have you guys ever looked in how much the transaction fees is in relation to the block reward?
e.g. https://blockchain.info/block-index/464811

Quote
Transaction Fees   0.03933258 BTC
...
Block Reward   25 BTC
I don't think transaction fees are really a concern of miners, since the block reward is just much higher, than that and will be for a long time

At the moment it doesn't matter how much the fee is. At least the block reward is enough to incentivize the miners to keep the mining rigs on. After it reaches the limits of 21 million, all the accumulated transaction fees left is rewarding to miners. Apart from the transaction volume, the amount of fees is important factor to determine the amount of reward in on block. If the reward is less than miners expected, they might turn off rigs.

Current fee of 0.0001 is good enough in current market.

I think Lower transaction fee was one of the main concept of cryptocurrencies so it is as it should be.

I think something like 10k satoshis per tx at 10x the overall transaction volume we have now may be sustainable

I think the 0.0001BTC fee is very reasonable at this price point, I don't mind paying this as fee for the upcomming years.

The market decides, and I will just follow.

20 cents is perfect in my opinion. I always send transactions with this fee.

Yes, whatever the market will bear is the fairest, assuming that there is no cartel of miners artificially keeping fees high.

I don't think the current fee 0.0001 is unfair. I have read that the standard fee used to be 0.001, ten times of what we have now. Because of the way transactions are recorded in the blockchain, fee as a percentage of coins sent is not feasible. Think about the satoshi spams.

My idea works well when all coins are mined, people with big rigs can mine the larger transactions and get 1% and people with regular pcs can mine the smaller transactions for fun, those who wudnt mind smaller rewards eh?

100 satoshis -> ISO code
Whatever the market will allow.

This. Don't want to have others determine how much your fee is? Don't mine, or modify your shit so you don't mine TXes below what you think you should be paid.

Absolutely. I'm a fan of market-driven pricing too, but it is still reasonable to try and find out what the market is thinking, especially as most users just let the default fee get applied by their wallet software. There is not yet an efficient fees market.

Maximum 50 cents, I preffer much lower, but the fee should never be higher than 50 cents
