19:47:14 <tokr> Question: Is there a minimum tx fee? I know there's a minimum relay fee, so a 0 fee tx won't propagate(?). But what if I mined the block myself?
19:55:11 <DataHoarder> no min then :)
19:55:25 <DataHoarder> you ofc have to propagate the tx as part of the block, which could be slower
19:57:09 <tokr> why? If it is a valid block
19:58:25 <DataHoarder> others don't have the tx
19:58:49 <tokr> so higher risk of being orphaned?
19:58:51 <DataHoarder> so that tx has to be sent before they accept the block fully (mining the block allows skipping the min relay)
19:58:54 <DataHoarder> yes
20:01:38 <tokr> So the block will not be accepted with unkown tx, - but the tx cant be relayed so it will never be a valid block (beyond your private chain)
20:05:15 <DataHoarder> it will be relayed as part of the block
20:05:30 <DataHoarder> just, not before you mine the block
20:07:02 <tokr> ok, tnx. So a mining pool could do 0 fee payouts as part of their own blocks
20:07:55 <DataHoarder> it has been looked at for p2pool
20:09:43 <tokr> Huh? aren't p2pool payouts part of the miner tx?
20:10:51 <DataHoarder> it was considered for aggregation, specially after FCMP++
20:10:55 <DataHoarder> see https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1296 logs
20:11:31 <tokr> ah ok, so a p2pool perk
20:48:18 <DataHoarder> there's nothing stopping others (past going below the min range) from doing that but it wasn't well liked :)
