Hello and greetings to the entire community!
I will ask 2 very be straight-forward questions, to which I haven't seen a clear answer by google search.
Question 1
Is there any way to transfer a part of the sum on a bitcoin paper wallet to a digital wallet ?I have tried moving a sum from a paper wallet before, scanned the QR code and all of the sum in the paper wallet got transferred to my digital wallet.
Question 2
Why are transaction fees so high and how do the fees vary ?I've bought some bitcoin from a General Bytes ATM and received 0.014135 BTC in 1GB2v7rNXf6KTXmsq8o2R2WoxFZYxZFpDD and the charge for the transaction (payed by the sender) was 0.0000692 BTC (~ 0.49% of the transferred amount).
Moving the 0.014135 BTC to a mobile wallet: 1FqGw38kARvWwAP9fJp8TeEF7ank1V6MGt, I received only 0.01373935 BTC, and I was taxed FEE: 0.00039565 BTC = ~ 2.8% while buying the ammount from the ATM cost the seller about ~5.7 times less (0.49%).
How can this be ? How can one tranfer cost 0.49 % and another transfer cost 2.8 % ?
Please do not tell me it is the transfer time, as I have bought bitcoins from the same ATM in different days and at different hours, in different sums and the tax was the same: 0.0000692 BTC.
At the same time, while verifying the transfer cost to another wallet in the Bitcoin Wallet Mobile App, the tax is, surprise! : 0.00037 for any sum up to 0.01373935 BTC (roughly 2.7% of the maximum).
Can the wallet developer set the transfer fees ? If so, what is wallet with minimum taxes for transfers ? Is it possible to get a lower fee ? For example, like my General Bytes ATM local provider, who was taxed for bitcoin transfer much less.
The mobile app used was Bitcoin Wallet ( "

Thank you and best regards.
