Topic: Which pools or miners accept fee-rate below 1sat/vbyte and how? (Read 28 times)
You can see in the mempool that the minimum is usually 1 sat/vB, but I’ve read that there are cases where miners accept transactions below that, though it’s pretty rare. Not sure what your purpose is for asking this, OP, but considering transaction fees are very cheap right now, 1 sat/vB is fine. Just keep in mind that the confirmation time might take longer than usual.
Are there any pools that accept transactions with a fee which rate is fewer than 1 sat/vbyte, perhaps? Or do they all just reject such transactions even if mempools are empty?
Perhaps transactions with fee below 1 sat/vbyte can be accepted but that's basically the choice of the miners whether to accept or reject it but its practically possible. 
That’s pretty hard to tell because miners won’t reveal their fees threshold publicly. The default implementation rejects fees below 1 sat/vbyte and by extension, most miners won’t be able to see these transactions in the first place because they’re so poorly propagated.
As of now, most miners to my knowledge require transactions which are directly propagated to them to be paying an extra fee directly to the pool. These transactions are not rare.

Usually it is their own transactions that are broadcasted together with blocks found by them.You can check with the filter and some parameters from Blockchair.com explorer.

If you're a normal Bitcoin user, consider 1 sat/vbyte is a minimal fee rate you can use for your transaction. Bitcoin nodes from miners can have their own setups to exclude transactions with fee rates lower than a number like 1 sat/vbyte or whatever.
