Dividing 1 bitcoin transaction fee cost by a million gives you your "not free" number. Its silly. Nothing is free, only the sun is free. I should be paying for every step i take in life if this 'not free' logic of yours would apply. The more its used the 'cheaper' it gets, i really dont understand. Any argument for "cost" and perhaps "spam" are same for relays. OTS is used in elections, you really think a couple of governments and business usecases is enough to bankroll OTS for the entire world for all the things at all time? Because i do, the napkin math on this is very comfortably mathing.
