Event Timeline

I don't think this approach makes any sense. We want to do as follow:
1/ Define the priority based on utxo creation, size and age.
2/ Consider low priority transaction as free.
3/ When mempool is full, start ejecting low priority transactions.

Adding yet a new place where fee are handled is only making the whole situation more complex and convoluted.

I agree with what you've said. We'll need to do more shuffling to clean this up.

Looks like you need a ssize_t .

I think we should count age as

sum(coinage for all inputs) / sum(amount for all inputs)

I don't think the -1 makes any sense.

Remove extra complexity and rebase

src/primitives/transaction.cpp

Tried this as a ssize_t but it was ambiguous under the current Amount * operators. Can add one for ssize_t if necessary, but it may overlap with other things on some platforms since it's a typedef.

I am considering dropping the minRelayFee some, and adding a base UTXO fee. So that for a normal transaction the minimum would be the same, but for ones with lots of outputs it would cost something extra.

I would like feedback on that idea.

Rebase and add in a small UTXO fee
