If you truly believe the high fee is the only solution, increase fee to 60 BTS ($0.20). Then let's see potential users reaction and market price changes.
IMO, we're in the vicious circle. High fees drives out users, less users decrease the demands, price decreases, and finally higher fees and again.
Someday you will agree with me, but hopefully it's not too late.
Higher pay brings more Devs, I hear (I can't see them yet, but I hear it).
So I guess the reasoning is that higher fees should bring in more users.
It's a well known fact that the un-banked love high fees. (Source : myass.com) <--
I'm going to guess that you don't want to click that.I mean, don't you seek out the bank that has the highest fees? I know I do! I'm always looking to pay the most fees I can so that I can support the fat cats running the bank. But like all cryptocurrencies, BitShares was built so that you can be your own bank! So I'm running the bank and paying high fees, but I get some of my high fees back if I pay another high fee to be a Lifetime Member!
So I'm pretty sure I'm going to be rich very soon!
The un-banked are the target audience for cryptocurrency, so we must raise fees as high as possible to attract more high quality un-banked people.
I hope that helps!
