Title: txfee.org neat bitcoin fees estimator and tx checker
Post by: cajancharles on January 18, 2021, 07:52:32 PM
Hello,


I have created a website which estimates accurate bitcoin fees https://txfee.org     for segwit transactions.
you can also check your tx here.

for calculating blockchain.info  fees:-   https://txfee.org/recalculate/
More features will be added soon.


Update: Real-time fee update added.

Update2:  Broadcast raw signed bitcoin transaction  at  https://txfee.org/broadcast
                Added broadcasting support for other coins.

Update3:  Fixed issues & added support for other cryptocurrency txfee.
                Added Realtime price feed of popular cryptocurrencies.

Update4:  Integrated Transaction checker & Txfee of popular cryptocurrencies.

Seems the whole website is in JS...

How does it estimate the transaction confirmation time? I always use bitcoinfees.earn.com and I have never had a problem every time I followed their advice. At the moment, according to them, 102 satoshis/byte is required to get the transaction confirmed between 0 and 30 minute. According to your website, you need only 83 Sat/B. There is a quite good difference between your and their stats.
On another hand, like this simple design, it's a good website for quick use with brief information, good luck!

thanks,
I will add many features in it like client-side wallet, transaction accelerator, exchange, etc in the same theme.

well it uses some calculation to estimate the transaction fee, it is accurate (i.e. more accurate than bitcoinfees.earn.com, since they show last 24 hours results).

any idea what is this theme called?

Maybe add some basic Faqs on your website just like the formula or source of the suggested fee result since your website estimated fee is far different on default fee computation of wallets like electrum.


Question, Is the suggested fee calculations on your website updating real time?

Post by: cajancharles on January 18, 2021, 09:16:11 PM
since your website estimated fee is far different on default fee computation of wallets like electrum.

Electrum default fee computation is over-estimated and it alerts you to choose the right fee.
We are using Bitcoin Core’s embedded fee calculator.

Yes, It is updated real time.

Good work. I like the simplistic UI.

Just one suggestion. It would be cool to see a fee comparison for SegWit vs Legacy transaction type on the page.

Similar to how this website does it: https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/fee-calculator/

Post by: Findingnemo on January 19, 2021, 05:08:00 PM
Crosschecked the value showing in your website with https://mempool.space/ and its almost same with +/- 1sat/byte difference.Good work though but it lacks any other information, it will be better to few more details like real time chart of Mempool size,etc.


Title: Re: txfee.org neat bitcoin fees estimator and tx checker
Post by: cajancharles on January 19, 2021, 05:45:51 PM
Yes, mempool.space shows current most accurate fees value for segwit transactions.

I want to keep this site clean with minimalistic-UI.  I will be adding more features soon.

Nice project.
I have a similar one
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281343 and the website here (https://bitcoindata.science/plot-your-transaction-in-mempool.html)  which calculates transaction fees and makes a suggestion as well.

Do you get data from your full node, or do you use third party data?
 Are you just using recommended bitcoin core fee estimators?

I think all of those estimators overestimate fees, so I create one that underestimate them. I just use the minimum fee rate inside 1MB of mempool +5 satoshis/byte and use this fee as the recommended one. It works pretty well.

Not sure if it's just a visual bug or something else but I spotted some anomalies when using fees that are less than 100 Sats: SS of the bug (https://i.imgur.com/wOYwnNd.jpg)
- Am I missing something?

I will add many features in it like client-side wallet, transaction accelerator, exchange, etc in the same theme.
Looking forward to the TX accelerator feature [hopefully it's not just one of those fake accelerators [aka TX broadcasters]].

Yes, It is updated real time.
I kept a tab open for roughly 10 minutes and looks like I still had to refresh [not in real-time] in order to get the updated recommended fees.

Yesterday I forgot to update about this and yes it needs refresh everytime to get the recommended fee and OP you should make it real time using different codes.

I don't have any technical knowledge about how to update the page contents without refreshing the actual page is done by AJAX and JQuery so if you knowledge about it then take a look into thesr tutorial.

AJAX is about updating parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page. (https://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_ajax_intro.asp#:~:text=AJAX%20allows%20web%20pages%20to,if%20the%20content%20should%20change)

he just need to make the API call again using a setTimout or setInterval (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope/setInterval)

Code:
var intervalID = window.setInterval(function_name, 30000);

Alternatively, if they're using one of the latest UX frameworks like React, they could just make the values component's state properties and update the state at a certain interval.

The interface is nice but you need to work with it, add some charts and update the data automatically every few seconds and not when we click reload.
FASTEST FEE looks inaccurate, it is better to replace it with 15 Min so maybe Next Block (3~12 Min)

You can add some details such as the best time to send, advice about not sending at the current time, and others.

txfee.org/recalculate  is only for blockchain.info wallet, not for all wallet since blockchain.info wallet has a bug.

the fee that you are seeing at the bottom is applicable for rest all wallets -> segwit transactions.


yes, i made it real-time by automatically refreshing but removed it later.

Each block is mined on average every 10 minute.

I kept your website's tab open since I replied and I didn't see the change yet. Updated it successfully or yet to be?

Still I don't see the values are getting updated real time, I need to refresh everytime when I want to get the recommended fee for that time.

Thanks mate, works perfectly on Brave as well as on incognito mode of other browsers. But keep looking for any bugs out there in your website and better add few more features into it will attract more people to use it for sure. :)

Nice addition but does that also mean you're not going to introduce a transaction accelerator as you said before?
- You might want to consider changing its description on your website to something that's more newbie-friendly.

Tx accelerator are just tx broadcaster, they just broadcast the transaction from different nodes.

The actual tx accelerator works like this, they have partnership with miners, so every submitted transaction on their website will be sent to miners and they will include that transaction regardless of their fees in next block and try to mine. They ask for payment from users depending on transaction amount.

so i can create one but i have to do partnership with miners like viaBtc

@OP it seems there is something wrong your website because it isn't showing any value.

Tried switching browsers but the result is same, is there any issues with the source you are getting these value?

I loved your thread title - you should register txneat.com and play on the theme.

I've checked on three different browsers, and I'm getting the same very incorrect number for 6 hours. All the other numbers are ranging from 8-12 sats/vbyte at time of writing, but 6 hours says 56 sats/vbyte, which is obviously incorrect.

Further, on looking up a transaction, the "expected time" is always 30 minutes - 6 hours. I looked up the transaction which is currently top of the mempool with a fee of 442 sats/vbyte, and a transaction with a fee of 1 sat/vbyte buried under 68 MB of other transactions. Both said 30 minutes - 6 hours.

It's a nice site, but it needs to be more accurate than this for it to be useful.

Thanks for your response and i see that. the 6 hours and 12 hours is for sat/byte -> legacy transactions not segwit but i didnt bothered to change.
it happens sometime where there is very low fee. also  only   fastest, 30 min and 1 hour is real-time :)


I will change the lookup data to be more exact, thanks.

Still the numbers are 5x higher than the actual fastest fee, even if the address is legacy still it will be included into the next block when they pay the higher fees (if I am not wrong).So anyone who visit your site may assume there is wrong details provided there so better remove 6hour part or add the optimal source for it.

I am often facing the issue in the last two days, refresh doesn't work. I need to open new tab with the same link to get the value so issue is on my browser side?

Tried two different browser but still it is same!

just a simple UI/UX suggestion:

1. Remove the underline on the heading in the main landing page by simply using the CSS code in the anchor tag of it with " { text-decoration:none; } "
2. You can still show the fees I've had in a confirmed transaction. In that way your idea of showing txfees would not be limited only to an unconfirmed transaction.

Same issue and I think it fails to look up on the data on a real time txfees. A little code failure I guess that's why it doesn't change nor return any value.

The value loads up in the real time but If I kept that tab open for hours like above 10+ I can face such issues, but since when I opened the new tab the fee is getting updated with no issues and have to wait for another few hours to find it is still in the place!

EDIT: resolved

Hi Everyone,

For the fees not showing issue has been fixed.  there was a null value causing the issue. If still you see this, then suppose the endpoint is unavailable from where we fetch the fees in Realtime.
All the fees shown are in real-time now and related issue has been fixed.
Maybe delete the post above regarding the issue to avoid clogging the post and keep it neat :)

I have added option to change cryptocurrency on top-right corner.  Suggestions are required which cryptocurrency  to be added on the list.

Have a nice day!

Cool feature but its better to add more cryptos in the popular list, my suggestions will be DOGE (which is one of the hot trending crypto) and LTC (most people will be switching to this in near future due to high fee required on other cryptos).

I don't think we need to delete the post which about the issues we are talking, I will edit the post into resolved.

Hello,

I have added realtime price feed of popular cryptocurrencies.
Added Txfee of popular cryptocurrencies and their respective transaction checker.

Just choose your cryptocurrency from top-right corner (default is :Bitcoin) and  it will show current recommended txfee  &  you can paste transaction id and click on check to get its status.  Suggestions are appreciated. If you would like to donate, address on bottom of site.

This site will show no-ads and trackers.

To view latest version of site, open https://txfee.org in private window or clear browsing data on your web browser.

Fixed it and it is working again.

Clear  images and site data and it will be working fine.
