How do I specify how much I am willing to pay to the miner as transaction fee?
If you do not want to use the 'advanced' feature, you can select another slider option in the drop-down menu of the 'send' dialogue box:
From 'ETA', 'mempool' and 'static';
- ETA being the default with most accurate estimate (but most of the time over-estimates)
- mempool for advanced users who can understand how mempool works; usually, it's "1~0.5 MB from tip" as the 'express' fee rate.
- static is the basic slider with pre-configured value from 1~300sat/vByte.
The absolute fee is displayed above as "
Mining fee", but the prioritization is based from the "
fee rate" (
slider).
I receive BC:
1.) I pick one of the green empty addresses from the "Addresses" tab and tell it the BC sender together with the BC amount e.g. 0.03 BC
2.) I will receive automatically the full BC amount and as soon as it is written to blockchain it appears automatically in my "Addresses" Tab as yellow line
correct?
Not quite, the addresses' highlight colors wont change since the green and yellow ones are derived from different derivation path.
As said by others, after receiving bitcoins, it will stay in your Electrum's "
green line" address where it was sent.
The "
yellow line" addresses will only be used exclusively for change.
