will people stop thinking that miners NEED fee's
25btc is more then enough to share between them every 10 minutes

if they decide to sell it at a low buy price instantly, that is their fault. we do not need to subsidise them like the givernment sbsidises farmers, purely to make rich corporations richer.

fee's should have only been an issue to be added in a couple decades time. not for the last 5 years and not for any year soon.

i propose miners stop being greedy asking for more money, and instead hoard what they have until bitcoin price rises to the value they want,. they should not sell instantly at a low price and then cry that its not profitable, and then blame the community for not giving them a subsidy..

seriously people the fee's are a greedy bonus. they do not help the community, it does not help with the whole "micro payment" ethos that bit coin had. nor the "free transactions" that bitcoin had.

bit coin fundamentals are being diluted or eventually disappearing completely due to greed

i am not going to be able to buy a 50c chewing gum at a vending machine if im being charged 5c..

yes the fee is not as noticable for large transactions.. but that then makes bitcoin a payment system "only for the rich"

i hope people realise that bitcoin is loosing its main concept and usefulness slowly each day.

take the core-QT. it no longer allows you to simply copy and paste a already known address to hand out to people. Luke Jr wants people to keep editing their donations button to be new addresses per use. hense why this feature is in the core-qt.

yes great for merchants to audit transactions.. but not for average joe.

You don't seem to have considered the economics of mining at all. With current rewards and fees, the orphan risk of including a transaction in a block far outweighs the fee, so we're relying on miners including transactions in blocks out of altruism. Some miners don't include any transactions in their blocks, and they make slightly more money on average. Paying no fees at all would further incentivize such behavior, jeopardizing the survival of the entire economy.
