As bitcoin volume increase, miners will probably start charging transaction fees themselves. So that'll increase.

- slapresta 14y agoThat's not how Bitcoin works. Miners can't charge me anything. They can choose to not process my transaction if it doesn't have enough fees for them.
- rmc 14y agoSure, it's all optional. But if all the miners are charging a small amount, and you face a choice between "wait a week for the transaction to complete" or "pay 1%", then BitCoin essentially has fees.
