The idea is to create competition by allowing miners to set the lowest fee they are willing to accept in the block header.<\/p>\n<p>At times where the mempool is clogged, miners could set higher fees due to demand. Conversely, when the mempool has a lower volume, they would compete to confirm lower-fee transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Some have voiced concerns that such a system could lead to mining cartels (i.e. collusion to impose high fees), but considering the overheads of owning mining hardware, combined with the decentralization aspect of cryptocurrency (there will always be someone willing to undercut their competitors), miners are incentivised to act fairly.<\/p>\n<p>For a cryptocurrency already hailed for negligible transaction costs, such a fork would be yet another step in driving these down further.<\/p>\n<h2>Litecoin as a Payment Coin<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_526\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-526\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/offchain-solutions-lightning-network\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-526\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/lightcoin-lightning.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/lightcoin-lightning.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/lightcoin-lightning-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/offchain-solutions-lightning-network\/\">Lightning network<\/a> uses smart contract functionality in the blockchain to enable instant payments across a network of participants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Already, <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/litecoin\">Litecoin<\/a> has generated much interest as a medium of exchange \u2013 while <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a> fees continue to rise, making it more enticing to hold as a store of value (at least, until a layer 2 solution such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/offchain-solutions-lightning-network\/\">Lightning Network<\/a> is successfully deployed), one need only look at Litecoin\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/web\/status\/949356053564571649\">movement<\/a> to see its appeal as a \u2018payment coin\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>With recent Coinbase adoption, it is surely only a matter of time before more merchants begin to accept it.<\/p>\n<p>Litecoin is often touted as the \u2018silver to Bitcoin\u2019s gold\u2019, due to a larger total supply and (for the time being) a better means of microtransacting.
