@luke-jr @glozow @fanquake @MarcoFalke:
Shouldn’t be here in code “less equal than” i.e. “<=” for determination if an UXTO is to be considered “dust”? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/4e1a38c6df91f96ca8a2ef07413ffdb1d59c30cc/src/policy/policy.cpp#L67
The comment says “less than”:
Is there anything that otherwise?
If the comment is the specification for the code (regardless, if it is the way around), why then the default value for dustrelayfee is 0.00003000 and no 0.00003001?
Again, is there anything that requires the default value or the code to be different? I am not sure what your question is.
If the user-facing (or developer internal code) documentation is wrong or misleading, or missing, it should be fixed. However if the user-facing documentation and code comments are correct and consistent, there is nothing to be done here.
Formally comment, code and default value are coherent themselves.
The “dust” consideration is in fact for a rate less than 3000 sat/kvB: i.e. 2999 sat/kvB equal or less relative to the hard coded default fee rate. Still a boundary limit and it could lead users to misunderstandings regarding the upper boundary limits for “dust” UXTOs.
I wanted to make sure, if this coding (boundary limit) was intended. And in your answer, it is. Then, I see nothing to change here.
