Hi,

I have blockchain.info and the regular Bitcoin Wallet.  It appears that they include a 0.0001 miners fee each time.  Great!  However some of my transactions take 50 minutes to confirm so I want to add extra to the miners fees to make sure that never happens again, because that is just annoying.

I can't do that with the Bitcoin Wallet and on blockchain.info I have to click custom send to increase the miners fee.  Ok I figured that out.

What if I buy something online and I scan their QR code and they want let's say 0.123 Bitcoins.  Surely my wallet will withdraw 0.123 Bitcoins plus 0.0001 Bitcoins as a miners fee (total 0.1231 Bitcoins).  Then the seller/recipient gets 0.123 Bitcoins right?  Now what if I want that transaction to go through faster?  What if I want to give more miners fee while going this route?  Is that even possible?  Should I just not care and assume it will get there eventually and in a reasonable amount of time?

Can I change the automatic miners fee to be higher on an android app wallet?

I have seen so many discrepancies with the miners fees and values I guess this is why people use Bitpay etc.  I kept getting tripped out that my recipients were receiving different amounts of BTC when I clicked send, but realized that if I was sending a specific dollar amount that the BTC amount would fluctuate by the time it got to them.  So confusing.  Do you guys maybe know of a good article that explains nuances.

Hi,

My cell phones blockchain.info app only does P2P mode.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.  It has been like this for weeks now.

In P2P mode it does not let me do a custom send where I can increase the miners fee and it won't create proper QR codes and other functionality seems to be limited.

My other phones Blockchain.info works well, but I tried to send a transaction to the first one as a test and raised the fees to 0.000444 in custom send or whatever and it only sent the fee and not the 0.002 amount I was trying to send.  It happened like this twice.  I paid very very close attention so I know I did it right.  Especially the second time.  (Sometimes when I try to add extra money to the fee it deletes all the numbers and I enter it all in again or very strangely sometimes it only deletes the last number like 0.0001 the 1 and then I put in a 4 or 5 to reward the miners with more.)

I don't know what else to do except trying to uninstall and reinstall it again or to try to create a new account.  I just don't get what it possibly could be I am doing wrong.

I might also just jump ship with blockchain.info.  There just don't seem to be many easy choices.  Mycelium? 

Any feedback appreciated.
