<p>I think OP is asking if they can just make their entry into the blockchain LOCALLY on their servers and then that is propagated out to the network. Saving the fees in the process.</p>

<p>If so, the answer is no.</p>

<p>I need to make a lot of transfers per day (bitcoins), but the fee is higher than expected. I'm thinking in create a Blockchain copy running on our servers and make the transfers from my wallet and to my wallet by my own blockchain.</p>

<p>I'll charge my self a fee but small and fix.</p>

<p>That can be possible? or a missing something?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

What is your use case? Why do you need to make a large number of transfers per day? How many transactions is 'a lot of transfers per day'?

We handle investors, they transfer the bitcoins to our accounts and we trade with those bitcoins. The problem is they can request the bitcoins at any time, and we want to do it automatic and offcourse if we can provide the lowest fee will be great, so if we have our own node in the Botcoin network can we do the transfer without fee? We have something arround 5k customers.
