Miners are already mining blocks with average fee rates that are sub 1 sat/VB transactions in something close to half the blocks. (Although past couple weeks not as much maybe)
The recent blocks were including fewer transactions below 1 s/vB, because enough transactions were bidding more than 1 s/vB:
Chart: last 24h, inverted feerate (highest feerate at the bottom), only txs offering 1 s/vB or more.
Markets at work! Thanks for these replies.
Bitcoin Core 29.1 already makes up over 13% of the listening nodes according to Clark Moody’s dashboard:
As Laurent has recently demonstrated with his simulation, below 90% filters, almost all corresponding transactions reliably reach non-filtering listening nodes (which I suspect miners to be). So, at this point any listening nodes that want the low feerate transactions should be receiving them reliably before they appear in blocks.
I remember hearing that pleb nodes are rejecting a lot of these TX as they still have the default 1sat/vb minimum. I guess since they have swamped the mempool that they eventually get relayed to most mining pools and into a block.
