Title: Why bitcoin core set up low fee by default ? Post by: Uniex on October 31, 2017, 09:32:42 AM Hi all!
I have updated bitcoin core on my server to 0.15.0.1 version, unfortunately after sending a small btc amount, I saw that transaction fee was 20 sat/B it is too small to confirm in 10 minutes or around it. I know that I can set up paytxfee, but I want that bitcoind server set it up automatically - how can I do that ? Title: Re: Why bitcoin core set up low fee by default ?

You have always to choose your transaction fee by yourself. There is no "bitcoin server" (neither a "bitcoind server"). The fee of 20 Sat/B appears to be the standard value in your client. Next time, check https://bitcoinfees.21.co (https://bitcoinfees.21.co) to see how big the fee has to be to get your TX confirmed within x blocks. Ant the next time you forgot to change your fee you can use a free TX accelerator to get your transaction faster confirmed. You can find those in the service section on this forum.

I have tested and I confirm that setting txconfirmtarget=1 in bitcoin.conf will automatically set up the fee, that will be enough to be confirmed in 1st block |
