I think trying to help miners figure out the propagation/f= ees tradeoff at the moment is a non-starter until we understand it better o= urselves. A server that tracks and records block propagation times, how man= y fees per passed up per block, orphan stats per size bucket etc would be t= remendously helpful.

They did use data from blocks 20000-210000, september-november 2012.<= br> That was still before the 0.8 release, however.
