Questions and answers
How much is the XRP transaction fee?
The reference cost is 10 drops (0.00001 XRP) while the network is not under load. One XRP is 1,000,000 drops. When a ledger fills up, the cost to get into it rises until the load is gone.
Who receives the fee?
Nobody. The fee is destroyed, which is why the total amount of XRP slowly falls. It exists to make spamming the ledger expensive.
What is the difference between the open-ledger fee and the minimum fee?
A transaction that pays at least the open-ledger fee goes into the ledger being built now. One that pays less, but at least the minimum, waits in the queue for a later ledger.
