Title: Problem with BTC transaction
Post by: xga676 on October 30, 2017, 06:26:18 PM
Hi,

I have a problem with a BTC transaction that I dont understand. The transaction is stuck and my wallet says "replacable"

I sent 0.015 BTC to this address:  19ppUZex1DUNTUzDxyhNe7B4LDLcrTHVEJ
The fee of 0.00062719 was also paid.

When I look at the transaction on blockchain.info
7443d1e5f00fa0b57a60870805e71b18e4b14d7949c50b8c8f4d64880bda0e3c

there is another 0.000051 BTC sent which is not from me. Is that the problem?

I dont understand that, Please help.

Which wallet are you using? In Electrum, the "replacable" indicator means that you kept the "Replaceable" checkbox marked, enabling replace-by-fee. This just means that you can "resend" the same transaction with a higher fee later on if your transaction takes too long to get confirmed. Read more about this here[1].

The 0.000051 BTC sent is probable the change from your transaction. There is nothing to worry about since the coins were sent to another address you should control. Read more about this here[2].

hi TryNinja

I withdrew today a small amount from blockchain and total fees 0.0001017 BTC
What is the value of fees for a transaction from blockchain for large amount? Is it the same small amount?

Miner fees are dependent on how large your transaction is so the amount your trying to sent has nothing to do with it. And please be advised that blockchain.info's fee estimation is far from accurate thats why if you're still going to use that wallet better have some guides and manually set your fee/s like this one https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ and followed by a quick check on how busy the network is https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

It doesn't matter how much you sent. Only the size of your transaction - which depends on the amount of inputs and outputs your transaction has.
First, calculate[1] or preview your transaction size. See which fee (in sat/byte) is reasonable for the actual network situation[2] and multiply it for the size of your transaction (in bytes).
