Is there anything that can help? Now the fee on the blockchain is very high even can penetrate 1 $ or more, anyone can give me a wallet safe and fee is not too expensive. 1 $ in my opinion is very expensive
Usually I'm paying 0.0002 - .0007 BTC on blockchain.info and when I'm paying 0.0007 BTC it's being confirmed very fast. And know I tried to pay 0.0002 & 0.0003 BTC hours later it is still not yet confirmed. Well miners are really choosing those higher fees and the amount depends on the price of bitcoin so it looks higher when converted to dollar. I can't suggest any wallet to you for now, I'm sticking with bc.

me i dont use low fees anymore because it has likely no chance of confirming i tried to use it before like 60 satoshis per byte and never got confirmed after 2 days it only got confirmed by using viabtc transaction accelerator , if you want cheap and fast transaction check this website it will show what fee is the fastest and cheapest https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Yes, that's useless if you use low fees but your transaction never get confirmed. You shouldn't think that's better to leave small fees to get quick confirmation. That's why you shouldn't receive dust transaction because you will need to pay big fees for that.

Why are the fees so high now, where there are only 50k unconfirmed transactions? The situation is not like before when we saw more than 200k transactions unconfirmed!
I just checked making a transaction in coinbase and they charge 0.0013 which is really a lot and i assume that is around 500+ satoshis per byte.
The number of unconfirmed transactions is irrelevant.. The only important things is the size and the fee they are paying. You can have 200 000 tx with 1/2 inputs and you can have 50k with 40 inputs.. that would actually mean a 5 times longer queue. I saw yesterday a block that was filled up with just 200 transactions https://blockchain.info/en/block-index/1511664And what really pissed me off was this: https://blockchain.info/en/tx/6e36de5e895d4c48241b562c14381cc40311f4e436fa4cb75604f3954a88e837Well at least it has paid ~4 USD in fees even though it is a large transaction size, but about coinbase usually the transaction size is very small as it is only 1 or 2 inputs so the size doesn't go more than 300-400 bytes. But the fact that surprises me is that why they have increased so much the fees when there isn't needed nor we can decide how much can we put in fees (maybe this would make more trouble and more delays)

That's why you shouldn't receive dust transaction because you will need to pay big fees for that. I don't have an idea if it's confirmed for almost 8 hours I've been waiting and finally it has confirmed. Well you will lose a lot and you will only pay for the transaction fee if you have smaller value of bitcoin to send. At this range of paying 128-153/sat is already good for me, since I can wait for hours before it can be confirmed.

never used low fees , its risky i used this once and received my payment on 7 hours , ijm always use standard-high fees due its fast confirmation , i dont recommend if you use high fees for low amount transaction since its worthless.. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) These days I think it would be crazy to use a fee lower than the standard, if not higher. Almost all TX's that I have incoming or outgoing I watch on blockcypher. It is an interesting approach the site has by giving the normal info and adding in the miner preference and a few more nice little points of data that are very cool. The more and more that people learn about Bitcoin, the more that I distrust a low fee too. Yes exactly, I think one should use the standard fee to confirm a transaction as soon as possible. I have seen many people choosing the low fee and then wait for days and weeks to confirm their transactions. I personally like my transaction to confirm immediately or with in a less time so I prefer to choose high fee transaction. I guess almost all the transactions you made you have the option to pick for the fee of your choice and it is understood that who pays more will be preferred. Fortunately many people are coming here in this forum to help us with unconfirmed transactions. I recently checked an offer which is dealing with antpool mining services which will confirmations regardless of how much transaction fees we will be including. It seems we may still go for lower fees too.

Do you think it's fair with the transaction you did with them? $8 fee is a very big amount and 1.5 hours isn't that fast with that fee. I will guess that it is a priority fee, I've been using blockchain.info with their regular and recommended fee. I haven't tried to adjust the fees and there's no problem to me, it's not even getting delayed for so many hours just like others are complaining.

I use Bitcoin with low fees and I don’t have any issues with it. I think that the people that use high transaction fees don’t really know how to use Bitcoin because the people sending the coin should not have to spend over a dollar for an amount that is less than a dollar. Transactions should only be $0.20 or so, I don’t spend Bitcoin that much so I don’t really know why people need the money within 2 minutes.

I am pretty sure that it depends on how fast the person needs the money by because spending a more than a couple of dollars just so another person can get the money is not really a smart thing to do if the person can wait for it. I would spend less than a dollar for the transaction and the transaction would get confirmed within twenty four hours and I don’t have to worry on someone not receiving the money in time.

I do not even care about the transaction fee, I keep using standard fees and wait for confirmation in no hurry. As long as the transaction is not void and still processed smoothly no problem. But thanks for you because I found out new about this btc accelerator.

I always go with the 'high' fee to make sure the transactions gets confirmed on the chain fast. I don't like having to potentially wait for weeks like some do when using really low fees. BTC isn't suitable to move very small amounts around, the fees would just be brutal, so when I do move BTC it is usually a fair amount.

But thanks for you because I found out new about this btc accelerator. Transaction accelerator service began during the past price jump which caused a big number of around 90000 transactions getting stuck to the network. As mentioned I too prefer the fee structured by the wallet, so that no need to worry about confirmation and other issues. It gets confirmed at the right time.

Things only get worse when a wallet recommends paying $8 or more. We should discover another bitcoin wallet instead of bockchain. One of the best features that allows multiple sends at once, most of ppl use this wallet but they was removed it.

Because blockchain is the one wallet who confirms lots of transactions, and this previous month they do not predict that the value of bitcoin would increase like a skyrocket then more users starting to exchange their coin to fiat or other is transferring their fund in their wallet then the bulk of transaction may be pending or uncomfirmed.

I always use high transaction fee, to be quickly confirmed to my bitcoin wallet. Because now these unconfirmed transactions on blockchain are still around 50k tx.
