Whether that happens in some kind of\nstable organised way or (as with the current code) a fairly chaotic way\ndoesn't change the fundamental truth: *some users will find their bitcoin\nsavings have become uneconomic to spend*.\n\nHere's a recent user complaint that provides a preview of coming\nattractions:\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/39r3bi/breadwallet_asking_me_to_pay_over_10_network_fee/\n\nHello, I'm just trying to send my small Sarutobi-tips stash (12,159 bits)\n\u003e onto a paper wallet. When I try to send it, a window pops up stating\n\u003e \"insufficient funds for bitcoin network fee, reduce payment amount by 1,389\n\u003e bits?\" This would be a fee of $0.32 to send my $2.82, leaving me with $2.50.\n\n\nThese sorts of complaints will get more frequent and more extreme in the\ncoming months. I realise that nobody at Blockstream is  in the position of\nrunning an end user facing service, but many of us are .... and we will be\nthe ones that face the full anger of ordinary users as Bitcoin hits the\nwall.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150619/94ba867c/attachment.html\u003e"}
