Title: Waiting for fee estimates..
Post by: CryptoJeff on October 17, 2017, 11:03:40 AM
Hi all,

Since earlier today I am trying to send an amount of mBTC to another wallet. unfortunately I keep seeing a message below "Waiting for fee estimates..". After an hour the message disappeared and instead I saw my mBTC balance.

I tried to continue the transaction so I pressed send. Now I got this Information text block saying "Dynamic fee estimates not available".
Can someone tell me what's going on here?

Thanks a lot!

Have you checked if its properly synced? On the bottom right of you wallet see if you get: a). red - it means you're offline b). blue - means you're connected to a proxy c). green if its on a clearnet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearnet_(networking))

If its synced, Try changing server on Tools -->Network

Update us here if the problem persists.

To my knowledge this problem is probably caused by server on which you are connected and you can try to manually connect to another server so you can see if that solves the problem.To do that just click on green/red dot and uncheck "Select Server Automatically.You can also go to Preferences and check "edit fees manually" so you can set fee as you wish and complete transaction.

Hey guys,

I manually changed the server and it solved the problem.

Thank you so much!
