Hi,
Sorry, should have given numbers in BTC, I was transferring 0.07577... and the fee the app suggests using is 0.014467..., that's around a fifth of what I want to move.
The bitcoin has been sitting in my desktop wallet for over a year, so should be in blocks far back in the chain and therefore no needing extra work (or have I misunderstood how the blockchain works?).
I understand that as halving reduces the mining 'prize' fees would go up, and I expected to pay more than I did a couple of years ago when I was using bitcoin quite a bit, but the amount the app is suggesting I pay here is ridiculous.
I'll give it another couple of days and see what happens with the current fee.

Hi,
Tried to move some cash from my computer to the wallet on my phone (about £75), it's been sitting unconfirmed for a couple of days, and the phone app says I should up the mining fee to fifteen bloody quid! Hadn't used BTC for a while, and at those prices, I can't see me using it much ever again. What gives?

Hi All Not used armory for a while, but have just updated and I'm getting this error DB failed to open, reporting the following error: Failed to open db home/<me>/.armory/databases/blocks (MDB_INVALID: File is not an LMDB file) Any idea on how to fix this? ~S |

Hi, A question, and an idea. First the question: I'm not sure how to do this (or indeed if it's possible), I run a charity ( www.Exeter-Pirate-Day.com) that will take bitcoin donations all year via the website, on the day itself there is a tour around the city, where bitcoin can be donated when we are there, but only then. how is the best way to add this to CoinMap? The suggestion: There seems to be people wanting more coins added, and other people wanting litecoin removed. How about showing only bitcoin by default, but if somebody logs-in they can elect to show litecoin, dogecoin, darkcoin, whatever as well? This way the map is very scalable for peoples wants/needs without confusing new potential bitcoin merchants. ~S |

Hi,
Another *HUGE* advantage Linux has over windoze is it has a far smaller footprint, windoze is notoriously resource hungry. If you want a machine just for bitcoin use you don't want all the latest expensive hardware sitting there unused, with Linux you can use far older hardware that would often otherwise be consigned to the bin.

Step 1: Download the tarball from https://bitcoin.org/en/download. Step 2: Extract /bin/32/bitcoin* from the tarball to /usr/bin/ or some other suitable location (you'll need to be root to do this). Step 3: Run bitcoin-qt (not as root). Brilliant! Thank you, no idea why I couldn't manage that without help ;^/ ~S |

It looks like you would need to add the experimental version from sid. That looks like a 64bit version, I'm on 32bit (not that I have the faintest idea what to do with that link anyway ;^/ But you don't need Bitcoin-QT to mine. You could install any miner program e.g. bfgminer and point it to a mining pool e.g. Eligius. I would recommend you install Electrum. It's a easy and fast client with no need for the initial blockchain download. And it has deterministic address generation from a seed. Thanks I'll have a play with that after I get the wallet up and running ;^> ~S |

Hi Guys
Uber-newbie problem here, I want to install Bitcoin-Qt (possibly and bitcoind) on a 32bit installation of Debian (wheezy), but I just can't manage it. I have followed several how-to's that google turned up, but they all fail at some point or other (assuming because they are old and now out of date). I did fancy having a go at mining at some point, but as I can't even get a wallet installed successfully, that may never happen LOL
Can somebody point me to a simple step by step process that is up to date and known to work that will show me how to do this?
Thanks
~S
