Also, if many nodes stop recording transactions into the blocks they generate (because of the small generation speed benefit gained), you can apply transaction fee as an incentive.<br/><br/>There will probably always be nodes that include your transactions into their blocks for free, but you might have to wait for a few blocks if many nodes don't.</div> text/html
