-Fee Policy changes
-------------------
-
-The default fee for low-priority transactions is lowered from 0.0005 BTC 
-(for each 1,000 bytes in the transaction; an average transaction is
-about 500 bytes) to 0.0001 BTC.
-
-Payments (transaction outputs) of 0.543 times the minimum relay fee
-(0.00005430 BTC) are now considered 'non-standard', because storing them
-costs the network more than they are worth and spending them will usually
-cost their owner more in transaction fees than they are worth.
-
-Non-standard transactions are not relayed across the network, are not included
-in blocks by most miners, and will not show up in your wallet until they are
-included in a block.
-
-The default fee policy can be overridden using the -mintxfee and -minrelaytxfee
-command-line options, but note that we intend to replace the hard-coded fees
-with code that automatically calculates and suggests appropriate fees in the
-0.9 release and note that if you set a fee policy significantly different from
-the rest of the network your transactions may never confirm.
