The individual users will select a fee they are willing to pay. As long as the fee of the user is above the fee of the forger, the transaction goes through. The forger will get all of the fee offered up by the user, not just the minimum.
The the users fee is too low, then the transaction will wait for the next block or for any block that will process it.
I am not really sure if this is going to be implemented or not.
Originally, I thought it was strange, but after thinking about it more, it is a really nice system. After a while the free market will sort out an average known price for making sure a transaction goes through.
The problem with choosing a set price like 1 or .01 or .001 is it is so subjective and will constantly have to be changed as the price of NXT goes up and down.
Static fees just don't represent a free market.
Yes i strongly support this. I hope that JLP will implement this sometime. However it may be wise not to until the point at which at least even the most marginal demand exceeds supply.
Oh wow. I hadn't heard of this before, but yeah, perfect idea. Let the free market decide on the fee like it should be. I hope this is implemented as well. I don't see any point in waiting though...
