Could you please elaborate on what a miner's fee entails in the world of cryptocurrency? I understand it's a critical aspect of transactions, but I'm curious about the specific purpose it serves and how it affects the overall blockchain network. Additionally, are there any factors that influence the amount of this fee, and how do miners decide whether or not to process a transaction based on its fee?
