Thank you guys so much.

I was able to research the newest release of Electrum and it helps explain
everything you guys said. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Narcisse,

I am glad that you found an answer to your question.

The recommended fee sometimes doesn't complete the transaction fast enough. I usually put a lower amount because of that. I think most wallets and exchanges use a 0.0001 BTC fee and it works. I like that amount most because the amount is low and the transaction gets completed within an hour. 0.0005 BTC is a high transaction fee yet on a non-busy day it could complete within a minute or two.

Did the receiver get their money on-time? I know that there was a large amount of unconfirmed transactions that backed up the whole chain these past 30 days.
