Let's assume 10000 people go from A to B every day in flight. They buy tickets for different prices and some of them are looking to pay the minimum even if it's a morning flight, not preferred seat etc. If the minimum price for ticket drops, will this increase the revenue for airlines? Some people who avoided flight earlier might book with new minimum although most of them already figured out other ways to travel or paid the old minimum. Maximum people or weight for a flight would still remain the same. /dev/fd0 Sent with Proton Mail secure email. ------- Original Message ------- On Tuesday, July 26th, 2022 at 7:57 PM, Peter Todd <p...@petertodd.org> wrote: > > On July 26, 2022 2:19:32 PM GMT+02:00, alicexbt via bitcoin-dev > bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org wrote: > > > Hi Aaradhya, > > > > > As it's not a consensus rule, I think it can be done easily, just needing > > > support from full node operators > > > > A few miners will need to use a lower minrelaytxfee for this to work.
