Title: Sending fees Post by: BigBadBitBaron on May 22, 2016, 10:42:31 PM I'm a bit confused here.
I use bitcoin Qt client on my desktop. I sent this transaction earlier today https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/aa4a7e82fc4f01bb6657084dfb78cdc66525cf96dd49bef74132e5b4817334a3/ When the transaction wasnt confirming I checked it here https://blockchain.info/tx/aa4a7e82fc4f01bb6657084dfb78cdc66525cf96dd49bef74132e5b4817334a3 it states that transaction has low priority and fees paid were less than recommend. I paid the fees according to what the wallet advised me, Ive done this hundreds of times. why all of a sudden is this happening ?? help would be much appreciated as I don't want this to happen again ??

you might want to increase your default fee to at least 0.0003 per KB for future transactions.

I'm always doing a fee of minimum 0.0002 BTC and it's okey. The wallet is just advising or has been set that it recomends the minimum fee posible.

You may already be doing this, but you want to make sure that Bitcoin Core is running for a little while so that it can estimate the fees correctly. E.g., don't just start it and send. |
