Title: Just sent from Electrum to another wallet...
Post by: scoob on October 29, 2017, 01:18:54 AM
Hello friends :)

Last time I was here I was crying about a transfer that was taking 100 hours lol and you guys helped me out... Accelerated it, and told me to slide the bar in Electrum all the day and select dynamic.  OK.... So I just did that, and did a test transfer at 150% Dynamic in Electrum and I have a feeling it will go slow.  Here is the TX number, can anyone tell me if I used the correct fees, and what to do next time?  I just sent 10 min ago, here is tx:

I'm trying to learn, I slid the thingy to 150% in Electrum (the max) so I want to make sure this works and you guys rock ;)

Thanks!

Should confirm within 12-24 hours. Providing it's not urgent, everything's fine.

If it is urgent then if you still have coins in that wallet you can increase the fee you want to use (search CPFP and rbf bitcoin transactions).
If it's not urgent it should confirm within  24 hours at most.

Electrum is still bad at calculating fees so that might also add to the issue with future transactions.

Can you confirm that you actually have "use dynamic fees" checked in "Tools -> Preferences -> Fees"? ???

I find it hard to believe that Electrum selected a fee of 50 sats/byte for max dynamic fee!!?! Especially given recommended fees have been as high as 300+ the last couple of days! :o

Have you unchecked the box and do you have "max static fee" set to 0.0005 btc?

Please update your version of electrum. You are using a very old version. There are no percentages involved in fee settings anymore. Also follow the second step here too:
