This is interesting, but I suppose some miners may have business models that can't be easily summed up as a "fee" - like all-you-can-eat deals with certain providers, or preference to certain kinds of transactions etc. For the concern that estimation might force fees down too far if miners include private transactions, I thought the estimates were calculated only on broadcast transactions, so transactions that just appear in a block won't ever influence the estimate? --089e0111bca49c18a904e97d95a1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
