BlueWallet Default Transaction Fee Option

[Eternad]

I already browse the whole feature of BlueWallet mobile but I can’t find the option to set default transaction fee or customize transaction fee. I want to access this feature because i still have pending transaction 3 days ago while using the fastest option for the transaction speed of the BlueWallet app. I want to avoid this issue by setting a custom fee as my default transaction fee.

Maybe I’m missing something.

You can set custom fees, under the "note to self" you can see how much sat per vByte you're going to pay. Just tap that and it'll give you the options: Fast, Medium, Slow and also Custom which opens a new dialog for you to write, but that's not going to save them, you have to set them each time you send, which makes sense, considering that the mempool's state changes.

As for your current transaction, then you can always bump the fee: https://bluewallet.io/high-fees-and-transactions-pending-what-to-do/

Click on send -> 1 sat/vbyte that you see on the first image below -> then click on 'custom' that you see on the second image below to customize the fee.

     

You may not see the fee as 1 sat/vbytes, I just used that to explain that you should click on the fee which will take you to a page that you can click on 'custom' and customize the fee.

I want to avoid this issue by setting a custom fee as my default transaction fee.

Not that it is set as default, but you can follow the process next time to customize the fee anything you want to make a transaction.

Thanks everyone for the help, The fee estimates seems like not clickable on my first look on it. I’m just relying on the fees available on the next part after filling up the details.

@Omegastarscream, Thanks for the tutorial link for the bump fee feature. i'm sure that I can use it in the future but not on my existing pending transaction since it's a casino deposit. Bumping fee will create different TXID that might flag my account for double spend. I'm happy now on the customization on the fee.

I decided to just unlock this to raise new concern. @Omegastarscream, The link that you provide show a method to bump fee which is not available on my current pending transaction. There’s no bump fee option on the bottom part to edit my fee use like what the video tutorial showing.

I’m using the latest version of the app and I tried both android and ios but gives me the same result. I’m wondering if I can use the RBF feature of electrum in case I import my private key from bluewallet to electrum even though I create the transaction on bluewallet?

If the transaction do not support RBF, you can not use Electrum to pump the fee. Check if the transaction support RBF or not.

If you generate the seed phrase on Bluewallet, you should be able to pump the fee using RBF.

If it is a BIP39 seed phrase but the transaction is made on a wallet that do not support RBF, you will not be able to pump the fee, even if the seed phrase is imported on a wallet that support RBF.

Another issue that can occur is if you generate the seed phrase on Electrum (I mean Electrum seed phrase). You will not be able to pump the fee if you import the seed phrase on Bluewallet to make transaction. Like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5422456.msg62055308#msg62055308

Thanks Charles,

I’m using the private key of my specific wallet that I created from Electrum then import to Bluewallet for a compatibility for my ios device. I’m sure that RBF is available when I’m using this wallet on my electrum wallet.

Is RBF feature removed if I use the private key of my specific wallet address instead of importing the seedphrase that containing multiple wallet address?

I think that is what that caused it, because you import private key. (irrespective of the wallet you generate it), instead of BIP39 seed phrase. This is also new to me, but that is just the reason. Electrum has not disappointed like this, but I have learned not to use more than BIP39 seed phrase on Bluewallet if I want to be able to use RBF to pump the fee. Likey also you will not be able to use CPFP also to pump the fee if you are the recipient.

I guess I have no choice than to wait. I confirm this issue by creating new wallet on Bluewallet and send transaction with low fee. The bump fee is available on my recent transaction. So I guess I have no choice here than to wait for my deposit to confirmed. I just hope that it will just drop on the purging range so that I can just send it again for a higher fee.

Thanks everyone.
