For those complaining about 'high' #XRP transaction fees.
@XummWallet does not take the fees. They are burnt.
If XRP was US$1 and the transaction fee permanently set to the 'medium' level of 15 Drops (00.000015 XRP), we can still do 66,666 transactions for a penny.
2/4
The base fee of 12 drops (a drop is one one-millionth of an XRP) allows for >83000 transactions for US$00.01.
The fee structure is intended to price out spammers, eventually making it too expensive for them to continue spamming the network.
