What's up!  Smiley

I'm currently coding Bitcoin Transaction into my website via Bitcoinjs-lib.
A few minutes ago I made my first transaction but I seem to have messed it up  Grin

Can anyone maybe explain me why I encounter such a high miners fee?  Roll Eyes

Thanks  Cheesy
You probably ended up mixing the fee portion of the transaction add the trans-actable amount up, that's something a fair amount of people make and sadly isn't as rare as you might think it would be.

I wouldn't worry about it, you should be glad that this only cost you $5. That's something that's pretty easy to earn back and you can earn some of that quite easily.
