Blockchain taking a huge fee . anyone know another good wallet to use with good fee

I read this 2 days ago


Blockchain.info's web wallet is considered a poorly written wallet and is seemingly incapable of sending proper transactions with correct transaction fees and confirmed inputs. If you are using blockchain.info's web wallet and your transaction is stuck, it is almost definitely because the transaction fee is too low (at 120 sat/byte which seems to be blockchain.info's default fee rate even though it is much too low) or because you are spending from other unconfirmed transactions.
If you are using blockchain.info's web wallet, unfortunately you won't be able to attempt RBF or CPFP transactions as blockchain.info does not provide the advanced functionality to make those transactions. All you can do is ask miners for help and wait.

You can also try using https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to "accelerate" your transaction. Note that ViaBTC does have a limit the accelerator to 100 transactions every hour and requires that it pays a minimum fee rate of 10 satoshis/byte, so their accelerator may not necessarily work.

To avoid this problem in the future, stop using blockchain.info. Instead switch to any wallet listed on Bitcoin.org and has one of the following texts regarding how the wallet handles transaction fees:

Full control over fees
Dynamic fee with override
Dynamic fee suggestions

Any wallet which has one of these texts for in their descriptions (with the color and bolding) will support dynamic fees and allow you to make transactions with proper fee rates.

Well you can always adjust the fees. They have a huge fee because there are so many transactions taking place, if you want a miner to confirm your transaction, you have to set a high fee

The problem is a a lot people are using btc
And all of them are using standart fees, which makes either the fee higher, to get approved faster, or you need to wait longer, since your block will be mined slower/later
