> New BIP: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/774
>
> ==Abstract==
> Logarithm of transaction fee limits block size.
>
> ==Motivation==
> Keep block space small.
> Waste less with spam transactions.
> Auto balance Fees: Increase very low fees, Descrease very high fees.
> Allow larger size when sender pays a lot.
> Allow wallets to calculate/display how much average free block space there
> is for each fee price.
> Allow senders to have more control about how the fee/priority of their
> transaction will behave, especially in the case of increased adoption in
> the future.
>
> ==Specification==
> Every transaction has to fit into the following block space:
> Input variable 'FeeInSatoshiPerByte': Must be positive or 0
> type: double
> unit: Satishi per byte
> Output:
> type: uint
> unit: bytes
> Formula:
> floor( log10( 1.1 + FeeInSatoshiPerByte ) * 1024 * 1024 )
>
> ==Implementation==
> Sort transactions by FeeInSatoshiPerByte (lowest first)
> For each transaction starting from lowest FeeInSatoshiPerByte: Sum up the
> bytes of space used so far. Check if summed up bytes of space used so far
> is smaller or equal than the formula result.
> If this is valid for each transaction then the blocksize is valid.
>
> ==Backward compatibility==
> Soft fork: If applied AND old hardcoded block size limit is kept.
> Hard fork: If applied AND old hardcoded block size limit is removed.
