Title: Can I set txconfirmtarget=0 in my bitcoind daemon ?
Post by: Uniex on February 19, 2018, 07:11:13 PM
Hi all!

Can I set txconfirmtarget=0 in my bitcoind ?
Because it seems like txconfirmtarget=1 causes sending with low fees approx 8 sat/B

No. It is impossible to get confirmed in 0 blocks.

That fee is low, but not too low[/i].
If I select 2 blocks as confirmation target, Bitcoin Core currently recommends just under 10 sat/B. https://coinb.in/#fees recommends 3 sat/B, and I've used a lower fee than that yesterday.

At the moment, there's no need to pay a higher fee.

8 sat/b should be fine right now.

Johoes mempool (https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#2h) only has about ~0.25 MB of transactions at or above 5 sat/b

you don't need to change -txconfirmtarget option to pay less fee
you can set -paytxfee to your desired tx fee rate in BTC/kB
or alternatively you can just manually set the fee (on gui mode) every time you send out bitcoin

Still if you are want get the confirmation on the average 30 minutes to 6 hours also you need to get confirmation on 2 blocks. Then how this 5sat/B or 8sat/B will be enough buddy?
I have seen that mempool is empty but required fees is cheap or economy.
You cannot expect the confirmation. 1 blocks confirmation maximum takes 26 days. May he need to wait till that time.

I have a hard time following your question... But just to clarify the current situation:
At THIS moment, my node (running for several weeks) estimates the following fees:
95% chance of getting your transaction into the next 3 blocks (~30 minutes) = 7 satoshi's/byte
95% chance of getting your transaction into the next 6 blocks (~1 hour) = 6 satoshi's/byte
95% chance of getting your transaction into the next 12 blocks (~2 hours) = 4 satoshi's/byte
95% chance of getting your transaction into the next 24 blocks (~4 hours) = 4 satoshi's/byte
