I think there is! There should be a bonus for those transferring the transaction. Bitcoin opens many deals to promote, attract financial capital from the participants. Forwarders are also involved.

There is a special place in hell for shitposters and it's getting crowded.

They have ICO signatures too. Wink

And just for understanding better how Bitcoin works... wasn't that the actual thing that you do when mining? I am probably confusing terms here, right? Or maybe that was true when difficult was "just" 10 Thousand, not the 805 Billion that is today!

Anyway, since everyone except that one shitposter has given you the correct answer, I'll just address this.

No, relaying a transaction and mining is not the same thing. When you mine, you are using the computational power to continuously hash and find a hash that is lower than the target. The target gets lower when the difficulty gets higher. The block header includes the merkle root which basically contains the hash of your transaction. If your transaction gets into a block that fits the criteria, your transaction will be added to the blockchain.
