A new window will pop-up and you will be able to set the transaction fee there.
Currently, miners are including transactions paying 2-3 sat/vbyte in the blockchain.
Set the transaction fee rate to 4 sat/vbyte and your transaction will probably confirmed in the first block. (Chances are the required fee rate is different when you are reading this post.)
You can also use electrum's recommended fee.
Select "ETA" from the drop-down menu and set the fee target to "In the next block".
Got it, thank you.
And again, you are not using your paper wallet in the correct way.
As I already said in my first reply, paper wallets should be created offline and your private keys should never connect to the internet.
I'm still not fully understanding this one. The paper wallets I created were done a decade ago, and they were done for that very purpose, to put them in physical long-term cold storage. Now, fast forward to the present day in 2025 where I want to move
the all
the funds from this paper wallet to my friends wallet via
the Electrum sweep function (to trade for merchandise). So I have no interest in using this paper wallet ever again.
The reason for having somebody send
me $250 to a different old paper wallet I have with $0 balance is, I can send my friend $200 from that paper wallet as a test run, because using the same type of paper wallet as a test run and sweeping it to my friends address will allow me to see if the operation is successful with a small amount of money, therefore providing me with some kind of confidence that this procedure will work
, before I send the larger amount using the same method.
