Big THANKYOU everybody for all these detailed answers and explanations, I really appreciate the effort!!!

I switched to Electrum and managed to send the tx with I believe a very low fee - I sent 0.00474 BTC  with a 0.0000407 BTC fee

Thanks again, you were all very helpful!

Yes, I'm recieving small payments from faucets.

I've sent money before from Jax couple of times in the last 6 months, with normal acceptable fees. This giant fee appeared only this time.

Thanks a lot for this detailed reply!!!

I'll give it a try 

Hello everybody

Trying to send BTC from my JaxxLiberty wallet, when I go to send page, a transaction fee of 50+$ appears, even before I sign in the amount I want to send and it doesn't change when I enter the ammount I want to send.

Sounds familiar ?

Thanks
