This is a step in that direction, at least, by providing the mode as input. Since 0.4 is moving to Qt, perhaps moving GetMinFee to QtScript is appropriate. > > \-- eligius_relay (relay lower fees only Eligius will accept) > > \-- eligius_sendfee (send lower fees only Eligius will accept) > > No, and no.

Again, take it or leave it, but in the meantime you're asking for trouble from users who feel they're being forced to pay more than they have to. Or perhaps rather than trouble, that decision will increase awareness of other clients that don't try to control the users. That could be good too.
