![]() You can decide to send the transaction now, if you want, but it can take days before confirmation, but take chances on Sunday because the mempools will be least congested at the time. ![]() ![]() It will be good to set ON the replace-by-fee because if the fee used is not enough, it will be good for you to just pump the fee for faster confirmation. But, because you are sending from your wallet address to your wallet address, it is safe as you can not scam yourself. You are the owner of the receiver address, which means even turning on the replace-by-fee can not be used to scam yourself, because setting it on can be used to cancel the transaction with higher fee back into the sender another wallet address, or be used in some occasions to divert the fund into another address of another wallet with higher fee. But, for you not to panic, it will be good for you to wait for the mempool to be less congested. You can decide to wait or not, this depend on you. You can wait until the mempools are congested, we are in weekend now, mempool are mostly less congested on Sundays, it can be up to 5 satoshi/vbyte, although last week was different as it was around 10 satoshi/vbyte, but which is still very okay. Just you have to do all this carefully and safely, since nowadays everybody tries to steal BTC. And you'll send the coins to an address of this new wallet, obviously. Last week-end the fees have fallen under 10 sat/vbyte, which is much better than the current ~120.Ībout hardware failures, since you have Electrum (I assume that you imported one or more private keys) and want to transfer, you can generate a new wallet and this one will have a 24-words seed you can write onto paper and you're good (as long as the paper is not lost). And keep an eye onto websites like to see the current fees. As long as it's a transaction, it has to be confirmed and the miners' fee has to be paid. I understand the security implications of a web wallet, the fact it is I am scared to loose those mBTC by some hardware failure. Or should I wait for more decongestionated BTC network? What about the fees if I transfer the whole ammount (a few hundred of mBTC) to another address in the same electrum wallet? Sending the whole bitcoin to one address on your same electrum wallet with a very low fee (edit the fee to like 5-10 sat/vbyte) will solve the problem, but it will take long time because the mempool is congested, but likely will be less congested on Sunday. ![]() I will advice you to send the bitcoin back to your electrum wallet in a way the replace-by-fee is enabled. With your explanation above, you have several input on your wallet, and you need to consolidate the input. But for each transaction I try to do I have a minimum cost of 6-11 satoshi, both for transfers of 100 satoshi and for transfers of 0.001 - commissions and fees that at today's value is like 250-450 euros in value.Ħ to 11 satoshi are cheap fees, it means you are paying around 0.00000006 - 0.00000011 BTC which is very small amount and not possible, but according to your comment, I believe you mean 6 - 11 mBTC, which means 0.006 - 0.011 BTC, that will amount to around 250-450 euro, and it is a very high fee.
