1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] FLOW - blockchain for open worlds - by Dapper Labs on: December 19, 2021, 01:46:13 PM
After NBA Top Shots, Seussibles and more NFT art related things, there hasn't been any mention of UFC, NFL, Soccer etc products materializing.
Top Shots use is dropping off, and I wonder if NFTs generally are about the new exciting thing, and then people just move on.
Until there is more utility and games based stuff there doesnt seem much reason to hold, though perhaps I'm just NFT-skeptic generally. Most of it seems very immature.
Flow has a ton of legal partnerships with big sports orgs, but am beginning to wonder if this is mostly vaporware and promises.
How much incentive does the team have to work hard and deliver products now that the FDV is around $12b?
YouTube and Discord doesnt show much tangible progress. Github seems a bit bare.
Chart-wise, after the 50% unlock it does look like it's bottomed though.
Any thoughts on this?

About your transaction 20sat/byte it's too low compared to the suggested transaction fee from https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ which is 136 satoshis/byte so the transaction is slow but you can increase the miner's fee as what other said above.
bitcoinfees.earn is a terrible site to use to suggest fees, and this is a perfect example why. 137 sats/vbyte currently puts you with 0.01 MB of the tip of the mempool. Such a fee is maybe warranted if you absolutely must get confirmed in the next block, but for the vast majority of people this is completely unnecessary. A fee of only 5 sats/vbyte will still put you within 0.1 MB of the tip, and is still highly likely to get your transaction confirmed in the next block, and a fee of 3 sats/vbyte will put you 1 MB from the tip and get you confirmed with 2 or 3 blocks. 137 sats/vbyte is a gross over payment in almost all scenarios. A much better fee estimator can be found here: https://mempool.space/

The mempool is currently clearing down to the 1-3 sats/vbyte range, and transactions with fees of 20 sats/vbyte have been confirming in the next block for the last 20 hours or so. OPs transaction should be long confirmed by now.

Thanks, I took your advice. This makes me feel much better about the fees and general use case for BTC!
I considered the Lighting option, but it appears that is very much bleeding edge right now. 5 sats/vbyte is very reasonable

I would like to avoid the (currently) high fees involved in sending between addresses, if possible.
If you are not in a hurry, then you don't need to pay those fees. Just send at 1 sat/vbyte and be prepared to wait.

I see this option was kind of hidden. If it's set too low doesn't the transaction risk getting rejected or lost in the backlog?

The Max button is definitely not working for me.
There must be a valid address in the "Pay to" box before the "Max" button will work.

Ah ok that makes sense.
It also was not obvious the request (B) button had to be pressed to populate the address area.
I'm probably a bit dyslexic with UI, and this one is very unintuitive!

Also the copy and paste address functionality is not working at all between wallets.
Very strange. Does it work within a single wallet? If you hit copy on an address from the "Addresses" tab, can you paste it in to the "Pay to" box on the "Send" tab? Is your clipboard working normally for other programs?

This GUI is so confusing here. I now have an outgoing payment that appears, and has been 'pending' for about 12 hours.
I set the rate to about 20 sat/vbyte
Does this mean the payment is still queued and / or the network is congested?
What happens when the receiving wallet time window expires in another 12 hours?

I did not verify the download as suggested in that link, but I always go directly to electrum.org and download from there.
I know about the popup scam and would avoid Github for this too.

Ok thanks.

The Max button is definitely not working for me.
I tried adding an amount of mBTC first and that makes no difference.

Also the copy and paste address functionality is not working at all between wallets.

I have just added a Ledger to my setup.
Is it possible to change an existing electrum wallet to include this hardware?
Or do I have to create a new wallet and then transfer over the network?
I would like to avoid the (currently) high fees involved in sending between addresses, if possible.

I have also noticed that since updating, the app is a little unstable.
It has crashed once.
Also the Max button in Send is not doing anything, and copy address is not working.
I checked with a text document, and even though it says "text copied to clipboard" nothing is copied.

Additionally I would suggest that the UI for Send is a little confusing.
Having the section for fees after clicking Send is non-intuitive. Users may think clicking send would initiate the transaction, rather than leading to further options.
