Miners only receive transaction fees for the individual blocks they include transactions in.
Right. So Off-Chain Transaktions, selling Casascius Coins and other transactions outside of the blocks will
not steal transaction fees from miners!
So only the miners and the nodes have the power to do anything.
And the rest, the ones paying for the service, (me included) can just go to h***, right?
Wrong. The others have to carefully select their (paid) payment provider. Bitcoin is your money. This means
YOU are responsible - so act accordingly!
