Nano is a cryptocurrency that is completely feeless. It's the only feeless payment system I know of. (This is not an endorsement, though the handful of transactions I've done with it over the past couple years worked as advertised.)


How are miners incentivized to maintain the network?


I was curious and looked into this myself. According to Coinbase[1]:

> users provide the computational power required to verify their own transactions, allowing transactions to be processed without fees

So, if someone is on their phone and wants to read an article (thus paying 1 cent for it), they need to either open the mining app on their phones, or turn on their computers?
