- This is a response from Gemini.
- The core question is: **"In Kaspa, if multiple non-parent blocks simultaneously include the same transaction, who gets the fee?"**
- In short, the transaction fee is awarded entirely to the miner whose block is chosen by the **GhostDAG consensus** to effectively process the transaction first. **Fees are not split.**
- ### Key Points:
1. **VSPC Determines Order (VSPCが順序を決定):** The GhostDAG protocol defines a **VSPC (Virtually Selected Parent Chain)**, which establishes a single, definitive order for all transactions in the DAG.2. **Winner Takes Fee (勝者が手数料を総取り):** The block (Block A) whose transaction (Transaction T) appears **first** in the VSPC order is deemed **valid**. The miner of Block A receives the entire transaction fee.3. **Losers' Transactions are Invalid (敗者のトランザクションは無効):** Any other simultaneously generated blocks (Block B, C, etc.) that also included Transaction T will have their version of T marked as **invalid (double-spend)**, as the coin used by T has already been spent by Block A's processing. The miners of these blocks receive **no transaction fee** for that specific transaction.- Therefore, while multiple blocks might contain the same transaction, only the one that achieves **final, valid inclusion** via the VSPC gets the fee.
