I've been complaining about this for a long time. It may have been long delayed, but I'm very happy Coinbase finally made the change. This will greatly benefit the network.

Don't forget BitMEX, while we're on the subject of bad actors on the network. I see very little public pressure on them mitigate their spam.


It's just a marketing gimmick. They are lowering withdrawal fees for customers, most of whom had no idea Coinbase was spamming the network so badly (and causing high fees) in the first place.

Cheaper fees -- what's not to like?
