Comment 1 for bug 1261507

When the new transaction fee implementation lands in the bitcoin protocol, bitcoin libraries should automatically use a fee that is high enough to get included into the block chain, but with a low cost. Thus, this is a low priority, and may even be irrelevant after that change.

It could be an idea to allow the user to choose if they want a high fee that ensures the transaction will get included in the next block, or a low fee if time is not essential, leaving the exact fee amounts for the software to decide.

We'll revisit it when the new fee design has been implemented.
