Title: 1st BTC withdrawal from Bitstamp... need help :-)
Post by: Mikcik on June 13, 2017, 03:55:52 PM
Hello
So i attempted to do my 1st BTC withdrawal from the exchange Bistamp. I created my own BTC adresses and private keys on my 2nd (offline) PC with the Electrum wallet. The private keys didnt touch any online device. Only the Public Adresses touch my main online PC. I have my adress and i entered it in some online website blockchain explorer and it shows the correct ammount of BTC have withdrawn. I have questions:

1) What BTC online blockexplorer is the best/shows the most info? Shows for example from which TXs my ammoutn came out etc.?
2) What fee did i pay Bistamp for the BTC withdrawn...? (it was a smaller ammount of BTC) cause it almost looks like i didnt pay any fee for BTC withdrwan... I didnt see any "field" where to enter the fee i want to pay, and even the online explorers dont show any fees (if i understand them correctly) and also my bistamp balance (BTC and fiat) is lowered by only the exact ammount i withdrawn... no fee anywhere...? what is this?

All block explorers will show that.  I personally find Blocktrail (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC) and Blockcypher (https://live.blockcypher.com/) to be very smooth block explorers, but many users will use blockchain.info (http://blockchain.info).

Bitstamp doesn't charge fees for Bitcoin withdrawals. 

However, all professional exchanges set transaction fees themselves (on the actual transaction).  You must not be reading it correctly.  A professional exchange like Bitstamp will most likely set fees of >200 satoshi/byte, often higher, and will have bundled up these transactions into one for efficiency.

You should look at where it mentions the satoshi/byte of the transaction.  Ideally they will have set fees of >400 satoshi/byte, but anything over 200 satoshi/byte.

Post the transaction ID so that we can check.

1) that which shows actual blockchain without errors, so almost every one of them :), blockchain.info for example, most popular one
2) it should be clearly stated, if its not, exchange pays it for you
