insane fee

[billy28488]

What the heck happen to all the bitcoin wallets???
blockchain had fee like 10.000 satoshi standard and today i try to buy some hash power on website
and the fee was almost 50% of price i supposed to send
And not just that but with this new HD addresses they are giving i lost 6M satoshi
And i got no answer of anything!!!!!!!!!!

does something happen that i dont know?

[jackg]

I'd honestly suggest you try to use coinbase (as they cover the fees)!
What was the fee that was paid (in Bitcoin value)?

I am unaware of any change, and changes are usually listed on te owners' site or on this forum.

[billy28488]

I suppose to pay 92.034 satoshi when i had 124.442, and it said my balance minus the fee will be 75.803 and the fee will be 42.238 satoshi. And when the address of my wallet change without any warning, i bought 6M satoshi that never came in my wallet because the address was change

WOW! You lost 6M satoshi due to the address changing
That is a farily small amount to send and most fees are now at around that amount. (Does the transaction fee fluctuate often)?

[Conus]

You are talking about such small amounts of fees.  There is a cost to do everything in this world and those costs go to paying for a service of some sort, including transferring bitcoin.  Try sending more bitcoin and make it worth it.  You can earn 10,000 satoshi in the matter of about 10 minutes using the slowest of faucets.  I do not see what the issue is.

no the fee was standard for blockchain 10k or 11k something like that i did 12 exchanges with blockchain app and the fee was always same
 but just today -_- i m so angry and i send 3 messages to them that the 2 last wasnt that nice XD
i spend all my anger to that messages XD

First and foremost you must give the details so we can help you more. First, what is the wallet that you use blockchain coins.ph coinbase reddit etc. But if you cannot give the details you should post a message for the support or administrator of that wallet. You must also check the blockchain transaction so you can have a conclusion as to what happened to your 6 million satoshi.

I thought that the fees were insane before I saw the denomination they came in, and then I wasn't surprised at all.

Satoshi are quite small units, and you're saying you have ~120k of them (0.00120000 Bitcoin based on those numbers) and the fee was roughly 40k Satoshi (0.0004 Bitcoin) which seems to be about normal, if not less than what I would expect from a typical fee.

I understand they seem somewhat large, but they are typically smaller than they seem. $0.33 doesn't seem like a bad deal to send funds anywhere in my opinion, better than $5 for fiat (or more).

so trying to set a customed fee if you can't afford , you should mention the exact amount of fees which you just explained above,if fee set lower than minimum the transaction will get slower,blockchain.info trying to avoid this by setting automatic fees depending on fee per kilobyte which changing every time

Are standard fees still 0.0001, currently worth ~7 cents usd, or has it changed?

My suggestion for you better to find another wallet who dont have fee many online wallet is don't have fee better to choose one . And use only block chain if you will send large transaction.

i usually pay around 0.0002 btc to get transaction confirmed within a couple of hours. honestly a 12 cent fee is pretty big for small value transactions. But like the other guy said coinbase allows you to transact for free, although that comes with the risk of storing your coins with them. idk if thats worth.

Well i just say that you are lucky that your transaction get confirmed within couple of hours because now the recommended fees per transaction per 1kb is 0.0006 so if you transaction is under 500 bytes at least put 0.0003 fees .
@OP If you have sent then please post the screenshot we can explain you better . Btw you can still put 0.0001 fees with transaction if you want to but it will get longer then normal to get confirmed .

Can you post a transaction link so we can see the whole process from start to finish and work out why the price was so high.  Which miner are you with?  Perhaps it is time to change providers.  Failing that as others have suggested, pay for the service via using BitCoin faucets, some still payout immediately I think, unless they all go to FaucetBox ?

If you make a personalized transaction, you can set the transaction value to anything you want.

Just don't be in a hurry to see the funds transferred and to use the addresses involved in the transaction any time soon.

Please don't use any 'standard fee' as a measurement or else your TX might not confirm at times of high traffic. The best way to proceed when calculating fees is satoshis/byte. The recommended fee currently is 60 satoshis/byte which is 9 cents for the median TX size.

I suppose to pay 92.034 satoshi when i had 124.442, and it said my balance minus the fee will be 75.803 and the fee will be 42.238 satoshi. And when the address of my wallet change without any warning, i bought 6M satoshi that never came in my wallet because the address was change

I can only assume that you've been using faucets and whatnot which made you have a lot of inputs, due to which the TX size was high 'making' you pay a much larger fee. This is normal behavior. Keep in mind that for each input and for each output your TX size is going to increase and thus the recommended fee can end up being much higher than usual.

If you make a personalized transaction, you can set the transaction value to anything you want. Just don't be in a hurry to see the funds transferred and to use the addresses involved in the transaction any time soon.

This post is useless.

You will have to be a bit more specific OP, on the one hand you are talking about Blockchain? Are you referring to Blockchain.info? They have implemented a HD wallet service, but you can still opt to use the old software/wallet. Then you are talking about buying hash power? Where, on that site do they sell hash power? If you are in a hurry for the tx to confirm, rather pay more than the minimum required fee. Give us some more detailed information and then we can help you. ^hmmmm^

You can do some research from block chain and also get some help on the wallet you are using. Such case is not with all the bitcoin users and it is that you have configured something wrong which may cause this.
