Riot and Blockware Release Bitcoin Transaction Fee Research Report

• For users of Bitcoin, its transaction fees represent an unpredictable cost,
  but a known benefit: global 24/7 digital final settlement of a highly liquid
  asset. Historically, Bitcoin's transaction fees have been a small part of miners'
  revenue relative to "minting" new BTC for the ledger, but long term these
  fees may become the primary source of miners' revenue.
• In this Blockware Intelligence Report, we describe:
  • Who pays transaction fees and how fee rates are set
  • Why high congestion fees are transitory
  • How Bitcoin transactors could use fees to route around unreliable miners
