The fees are set by the Bitcoin network. If you want to pay a lower fee, and if you are willing to possibly wait a couple of blocks for your transactions to get confirmed, then you can do so with various command-line options in counterpartyd. The default fee has to be very generous, in any case, because it has to cover all possible use cases. Moreover, as soon as the majority of Bitoicn nodes switch over to Bitcoin Core 0.9.2, we'll be able to lower the default value by 10x.
OK, I understand, but you need to update the fee that is listed on the trading screen from 0.0002 BTC to what it actually is, otherwise you're going to have people saying Counterparty is involved in "false advertising."
If I have to place orders in counterpartyd that negates the entire utility of Counterwallet.
.000356 = .0002 + (2 * .000078) = FEE + (2 * MULTISIG_DUST)
the 2 dust values for multisig output can not be called "fee" and may be recovered. There is already an online tool to recover them (I did not find the url) and doubtless, in the future, a tool like this will be integrated in Counterwallet.
