As many of you are aware, from time to time there's a post on /r/bitcoin where everyone takes in the schadenfreude from the poor sap who accidentally sent a 4 BTC transaction fee with his 1 BTC purchase. The poor guy has to go running to the miners to beg them for a refund. Apparently the miners do sometimes send the mistaken fee back, and sometimes not.
Obviously, a well designed wallet should not even allow such crazy fees to be sent, but somehow they happen anyway. The improvement proposal I would like to float is to let the DASH masternode network monitor transactions, and when a transaction with out of the ordinary fee is seen by the network, it rejects the transaction.
Does building this functionality into the protocol seem like excessive policing, or would this be viewed as a user friendly failsafe that puts DASH at an advantage to its competitors?
