Tx Fee

[ninoara]

Hi All,

in the help you can see:

 -paytxfee=<amt>        Fee (in BTC/kB) to add to transactions you send (default: 0.00)

But, when I am trying to set the tx fee to 0 in the regtest mode, as in each transaction there is an amount subtracted from the balance, I receive the following error:

root@alice:/# bitcoin-cli -regtest -paytxfee=0.00 -sendfreetransactions -daemon -printtoconsole

Error: Invalid amount for -paytxfee=<amount>: '0.00' (must be at least 0.00001000 BTC/kB)

Why?

Code:

Error: Invalid amount for -paytxfee=<amount>: '0.00' (must be at least 0.00001000 BTC/kB)

There you have it.  If you specify -paytxfee you MUST set it to .00001/kB or more.  If you want it to be 0.00 just leave the flag off, the default value is 0.00
