Reject TXs based on fee in comparison to TX size?

1

Is it possible to configure a node to reject junk transactions like this https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/6d67480fde2dd484b0ee389a6488db212ea7d0dbd2a11358efcc0b39077407ca

199 inputs, 35kb tx with a tiny 0.0003 fee.

There's minrelaytxfee, but I'm looking for something that is based on both fee and tx size.

minrelayfee is already in BTC/kB, so that's exactly what you need.

35kb tx with a tiny 0.0003 fee.

Didn't do the math, but I think even the default minrelayfee should block those.

Ah okay, didn't know that, thanks. It's showing in my mempool, and my mempool is getting awfully large lately, over 30,000 txs. Thought maybe adding some like this could help... – m1xolyd1an – 2016-01-31T03:04:25.183

Are you running a recent version? The relayfee stuff had been changed a bit over the past few versions. What is your current minrelayfee setting? – Jannes – 2016-02-01T02:50:42.100

[relayfee] => 5.0E-5 (0.00005) – m1xolyd1an – 2016-02-01T04:39:19.100
