Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper and other metals. The ancient Greeks called it 'gold' or 'white gold', as opposed to 'refined gold'. Its colour ranges from pale to bright yellow, depending on the proportions of gold and silver. Electrum Electrum's focus is speed and simplicity, with low resource usage.

Fee estimation

So how long will your transaction really take to confirm? Because of the decentralized nature of the bitcoin network there is no way to tell with certainty. We can only estimate.

The fee slider, shown below the fee field in the screenshot above, is Electrum’s way of suggesting a suitable fee based on market conditions. The further to the left you drag the slider the lower the fee but the longer the transaction takes to confirm and the opposite is true for the right side.

There are three options for fee estimation algorithms that you can choose using the selection list next to the slider:

• Static is essentially a fixed range of 1-300 satoshis per byte. It does not take market conditions into account.
• Mempool and ETA suggest suitable fees based on fee market conditions.

If you pause your mouse cursor over the fee slider you will get a tooltip explaining how long the transaction will take to confirm.

In the case of ETA that will be how many blocks. On average we get a block every 10 minutes so that’s how you can estimate how long it’ll take. Note that average is not the same as always. Sometimes we get blocks mere seconds apart and sometimes it can be hours between blocks.

Since an average block contains 1.3MB of transactions you can estimate how long your transaction will take to confirm by dividing the amount given there by 1.3MB and multiplying by 10 mins.

What determines the size of my transaction?

Avatar the last airbender game pc download free. The number of inputs and outputs determines the size of your transaction. If you regularly received small amounts of money from faucets or mining pools in the past your transaction would be very large because of the large number inputs so you would pay a relatively high fee.

Make sure that replace Check “Use Replace-by-fee” under Tools menu > Preferences > Transactions tab so that you can low ball the fee initially and bump it later on if you need to.

If the transaction status on the history tab says “Local” then you know that it has been ejected from the mempool of the electrum server you are connected to and it is time to rebroadcast it. You can do that by right clicking on the transaction, choosing “View Transaction” and then clicking on “Broadcast”.
