Hi. I am trying to lower the fee to send bitcoins, but my wallet is stuck at a fee of 0.001 btc
I tried resetting the fee amount in the Settings>Options>Main window to 5000 satoshi,
but it is still stuck at 100,000 satoshi.
I am thinking I might pay 0.00000500 btc (500 satoshi) to send.
How do I make the fees less to send?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

What wallet are you using? That's an important information to share. A fee of 500 satoshis is worthless and will be treated as 0. It's possible in that case it's using a default value of 0.001. Try setting it to 0.0001 (per kb) which is what's normally used. I recommend you to read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=124068.msg1332793#msg1332793 and the docs about fees.

Nope, you're wrong. Bitcoin transaction fee now is per byte, not per kilobyte. https://blockchain.info/tx/a40793e7c4eddea9474f9378143e7208cbcac8d4e3ec7d1eb72948e7ba47f591

Uh, you are right. And keep your Bitcoins in their pocket, ask their permission to send Bitcoins and if they are not online, wait to spend *your* Bitcoins and if they go away with your money, just call them scammers. Why don't you avoid these situations by not keeping *your Bitcoins* in *their wallet*? they have no fees !
Transactions they send have fees but they pay fees. And transactions are also done pretty quick .
No. Time for confirmation is same except for off-chain transactions.

In most wallets you set the fee per kb, not per byte, and then the calculations are being made from there whether the fee is rounded up to kb or set per byte. I highly doubt OP meant he was setting 500 satoshis per byte. I'm pretty sure he was setting it per kb and that's way to low. I insist that he should set it to 0.0001 per kb (or the equivalent per byte but I really don't think his wallet is asking per byte). Anyway as I said it would help if OP mentions the wallet he's using. I you meant something else with your high-priority TX link I didn't understand you.

Sorry! The recommended fee is 0.0001 BTC/1000 bytes. If you convert 1000 bytes to kilobytes, you will get 1KB 1kB. So the fee is per KB kB not per bytes or you can say, the fee is per 1000 bytes. Saying fee is per byte is wrong. * Corrected my mistake. Thanks to BlackMachine.

Saying fee is per byte is wrong. Since 0.9.x Bitcoin core release, the default fee has been set to 0.00001BTC/1000bytes. Fees/1000bytes help in the ranking of transaction but it shouldn't matter if the priority is high enough. *1KB=1024byte but 1kB=1000byte. In this case, it is kB.

It refers to either 1000 bytes or 1024 bytes, depending on usage and context. The abbreviations for these are kB and KB, respectively, although this distinction is not always observed.

Just pay the 0.0001. I have waited 6 blocks to pick a 0.00001 fee transaction. Looking all these half full blocks not pick your transaction is kinda maddening.

no.

What are you talking about? Blockchain.info is just like any other wallets and they do charge a fee for the transactions. Your transaction will include a transaction deducted from your account balance. Typically 0.0001BTC. To get 0 fees, you need to use custom send. Also, it isn't very secure based on the accidents that happened recently.

I would advise against using the blockchain.info wallet. There have been a lot of security breaches and screw ups in recent times. Better to use a more secure and reliable wallet.

.) I'm using bitcoin to avoid any kind of banks and financial services holding my own money. is much better to pay fees every transaction and hold bitcoin by yourself, than send it to some service to avoid fees.. what a stupid logic.
