Without Fees? Nice try. The article doesn't cover this at all. I think it means "Without the High Fees of Credit Cards". Bitcoin has fees and the article mentions this. If anyone would actually like to write an article about avoiding BTC fees, I'm interested in that.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoYes, Bitcoin has fees, but they're transparently, voluntarily paid separately by the customer, not automatically deducted.
- logn 14y agoIn practice it's not easy to avoid the fees. Maybe I need a custom client? Not sure. But I know what you're saying is true. If someone could explain how that would be awesome.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIIRC you weren't forced to by the default client in the past. Fees are actually optional, but there is no motivation for miners to include your transaction if you pay none. Hence the client tries to make you pay a fee. If you pay a higher fee, that means it goes through sooner since miners will of course priorities high-fee transactions.
