Users can pay fees or a portion of fees out of band to miner(s); this is undetectable to the network. It's also behavior that miners have engaged in since at least 2011 (in two forms; treating transactions that paid them directly via outputs as having that much more in fees; and taking contracts for fast processing for identified transactions (e.g. address matching or via an API) e.g. "I'll pay you x at the end of the month for each of my transactions you process, you can poll this API". I'm aware of at least two companies having had this arrangement with miners). I think what you suggested then just further rewards this behavior as it allows bypassing your controls.-- I suspect generally any scheme the looks at the fee values has this property. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
