    If you install bitcoin-qt fresh, the default fee is set to 0.00000000. Is that correct?

    Wasn't this always the case? What was the value before, according to you?

    This has always been the case. It should have been mintxfee though, in my opinion, not zero. Adding zero fee to a transaction is not recommended, unless you know what you are doing, so it shouldnt have been the default.

    But changing this now does not make sense, as smart-fee has already been merged to master. With smartfee, if the fee is zero, smart-fee is supposed to do the right thing automatically for you. So actually having the default to zero is supposed to be a good thing, since smart-fee.

    Ok, closing, works-as-expected
