Samson Mow highlights costs of non-standard transactions to mining pools
@Excellion: Costs of non-standard transactions
In a recent tweet, cryptocurrency expert Samson Mow outlined the additional costs associated with submitting non-standard transactions directly to mining pools.
These costs arise because such transactions add risk to the mining pools, according to Mow. This analysis builds on insights shared by fellow crypto expert Matt Kratter, who underlines the impact of non-standard transactions on the network's stability and the incentives for miners.
Mining pools, which are essential entities in the Bitcoin network, prioritize standard transactions primarily due to their predictability and lower risk factors. The increased risk associated with non-standard transactions means that miners must be compensated adequately, reflecting in the higher costs for those attempting such transactions.
Samson Mow's insights reveal the underlying economics driving transaction fees within cryptocurrency networks, particularly focusing on the balance between operational risk and reward for mining pools.
