Title: How much Tx fee should I pay ?
Post by: CoinLearn on February 08, 2014, 02:32:16 PM
I need to make my faucet payment where a total of 0.001 BTC will be distributed among multiple recipients. I would like to know how much Tx fee should I pay for this ?

if it doesn't matter if it arrives a few days later you can also pay no fee at all

If you are messing with the Tx fees make sure you put the decimal in the right spot! You dont want to end up sending more in transaction fees then the entire amount you meant to send :)

That depends on how many recipients you are paying, and how many inputs you are using to build your transaction.

The standard fee right now is 0.0001 BTC per kilobyte.  Each input will be about 180 bytes or so, each output will be about 34 bytes, and there will be approximately 10 bytes in fixed size data in every transaction.

The tx fee depends on how large your tx size is (in KB) rather than how much bitcoin you are sending out.
So, to know the tx fee you need to pay, you need to know how many inputs and outputs are in your tx.
