From 16b3ff66e0137b68de0d08ad88ce9798bce2d68d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gavin Andresen Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:04:29 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Lower maximum size for free transaction creation Changes the maximum size of a free transaction that will be created from 10,000 bytes to 1,000 bytes. The idea behind this change is to make the free transaction area available to a greater number of people; with the default 27K-per-block, just three very-large very-high-priority transactions could fill the space. --- src/main.cpp | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp index e2e2d3b84..648bde771 100644 --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -753,10 +753,11 @@ int64 GetMinFee(const CTransaction& tx, bool fAllowFree, enum GetMinFee_mode mod { // There is a free transaction area in blocks created by most miners, // * If we are relaying we allow transactions up to DEFAULT_BLOCK_PRIORITY_SIZE - 1000 - // to be considered to fall into this category - // * If we are creating a transaction we allow transactions up to DEFAULT_BLOCK_PRIORITY_SIZE - 17000 - // (= 10000) to be considered safe and assume they can likely make it into this section - if (nBytes < (mode == GMF_SEND ?
