Can miners send transactions without fees?
Post Body
Anyone can create a transaction with lower than market value, you might have to wait a long time, or forever.
However if I was a miner myself, why not send all my btc without fees. Just always include it in my own blocks. Sure you have to wait longer until you personally found a block. But if you had something like 5% of the hashrate you could send without fees in a reasonable about of time for any low priority transactions. right?
Not saying there is anything wrong with it or anything, just thought it was interesting. Any evidence of them doing so? Are the blockrewards often then sent to other accounts in feeless transactions?
