unless changes are coded to the present source or the upcoming 9.2 work (that I still have not had a chance to review due to a few other things going on ) I believe in btc 9.2 lets you set whatever you want as a fee (Which of course advanced users can do now) however sending a tx with no fee means you may not get confirmed quickly ?? I know with btc from reading posts and listening to lectures Gavin says miners should determine the fees.
I am not making any suggestion as to what fee's should be 'coded' to or forced to or even saying that needs to be done at all.
Just pointing out that a few tweaks to the advanced features of 9.2 may be necessary to make these changes if whoever makes the final choice wants a minimum fee set. These changes may not just be commenting out a few lines of code either.....
If Bitcoin has that option set up then we should leave it like that. Miners should set the fee since they're doing the work. So in that case, let's not change the code.
