Because they are getting to high? I mean we all understand that fees are good. They give incentive for stake holders to forge. They keep the block size down so that people aren't storing more transactions than they need to on their computers for all of time. But we should really try to not make it significantly more expensive to transact with nxt than bitcoin. I think the time is just about right to kick it back a single decimal place.
Well, in this case u should bribe Jean-Luc. I prefer to have 1 NXT fee coz it doesn't let the price to rise too high.
Edit: Another option is wait for VS, AE and AC to be implemented. Then I'm going to set lower fee.
Bitcon fee is about 9 cents. They have POW overhead to pay for. Nxt fee is 10 - 15 cents. We have almost no overhead. I realize there are major benefits to Nxt that easily justifies the extra cost of making an Nxt transfer over making a BTC transfer. I also realize there needs to be enough of a fee to protect against spamming the network and such. What is the best balance? It's time to take this into consideration instead of being an arbitrary amount. One of the best things in crypto is supposed to be negligible cost to transfer any amount of money. Also take the micro-payment market into consideration (user made content tips, etc). This doesn't work if fee is too high. There are considerations to make other than "its good be cause it keeps price from getting to high". (whatever that's supposed to mean.) Give it some thought.
