📝 Original message:With this proposal, how much would it cost a miner to include an 'extra' 500-byte transaction if the average block size is 900K and it costs the miner 20BTC in electricity/capital/etc to mine a block?
If my understanding of the proposal is correct, it is:
500/900000 * 20 = 0.11111 BTC
... Or $2.50 at today's exchange rate.
That seems excessive.
