Fees are per byte of tx data; call it allowfeeperkb, and given that fees are required - the merchant would really rather not waste up to about twice as much on fees for a child-pays-for-parent - it should be called requirefeeperkb. Back to your point, the merchant wants to limit total fees that have been deducted - 'allowfee' is still a good idea - but only in conjunction with specifying fee-per-kb requirements. UI once both are implemented is to not show anything in the default case, and explain to the user why they have to pay extra in the unusual case where they are spending a whole bunch of dust. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000f9102d27cfd61ea9e8bb324593593ca3ce6ba53153ff251b3
