    Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

    Some users have been curious about a lower minimum fee rate. A recent thread on mailing list:

    https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-July/020784.html

    Describe the solution you'd like

    A new config option that changes the default minrelaytxfee to one of these for a minor release after v24.0:

    1. Odd/Even: 0.001 sat/vB on odd dates and 1 sat/vB on even dates.
    2. Market: 0.001 sat/vB during US market open hours else 1 sat/vB.
    3. Interval: Starts with 0.001 sat/vB and keep changing after defined time interval

    Describe alternatives you've considered

    If enough users and miners agree to experiment this could be done without making changes in Bitcoin Core. Since most of the nodes use default it's difficult to experiment and know if one of these policies increase revenue for miners, provides better fee rates etc.

    I think it should be tried by users without changing anything in code.
