Repeat after me: There is no minimum transaction fee.
...
On the flip side, the worst case for these newbie transactions is that it causes some users to have to pay a 0.0005 BTC fee per transaction sometimes.
...
Sure looks like a minimum transaction fee to me.
Did you bother to read the post, or did you just Cntrl-F for 0.0005?
The average user doesn't care about all the technical details in that post. They care that people keep saying there's no minimum fee, when there is.
I don't care that there's a fee. I have mine set to 0.01 for all transactions, anyway.
just STOP SAYING there is no minimum fee when clearly there is. It's confusing.
