Title: How to send BitCoins with LOW TX FEE (Not No TX Fee)

How to send BitCoins with LOW TX FEE (Not No TX Fee)

Ideally a fee proportionate to the total input of the transaction.

Clearly this is not possible with official client. Anyone know how this can be done? Can an alternative client do it ? Or perhaps a raw tx from the main? If anyone knows how to do this I would really like to know! (Currently paying 1000% of BTC Transacted just to send the Transaction, Horribly broken system imho)

Can't you input the fee you want in the client? The only one I tried was Electrum.

If you try to undercutting the "official fee schedule", I think that's almost like offering nothing.

Miners who respect the official fee schedule will ignore your transaction just as if you paid nothing.

I'm sure I saw a custom 0.7.2 client advertised on these forums that claims it can send with no fee.  I think it will let you send with low fee.

The results of the main thread..

Script written

Code:
    y = 0
    For x = 0 To UBound(BTCAd)
        SendMany = SendMany & "," & Chr(34) & BTCAd(y) & Chr(34) & ":" & Val(Text1.Text)
        y = y + 1
        Sleep (1)
    Next x
SendMany = "sendmany BitHits.info '{" & SendMany & "}' 0"
Text2.Text = SendMany

lol! Max debug console input is 32,767 characters

Also got this error...

Quote
Error: value is type int, expected obj

Something tells me this has something to do with it

Code:
amounts are double-precision floating point numbers (code -1)

UPDATE:

After a JSON Error, a few Invalid BitCoin Address errors, and a insufficient funds error I finally got it to sendmany :) But....

980% the amount transferred just to send it!

Code:
BTC Transacted: 0.001422 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.014 BTC
Net amount: -0.015422 BTC
Transaction ID: da3d8921166b8509fb7777b3f8bcb32805014e42d1e667fc9d2769d7d943b4f9

That was just a test really, 4 days worth of 'Single BitHitters' - 711 Addresses Paid :)

also........ Unless There is a way I can pass more data to the Debug Console I cant do much larger tx then that.... 711 is only 49 addresses short of my source list I was using...

This....might actually be a HIGHER fee then what sending normally with the GUI was ?
