Which da is the best to move your coins?
@tranthidung tried to answer this question with numbers in his thread:
Bitcoin transaction fees (in sats/kb). Sunday, Saturday are best to move BTC
He analysed historical data to give an objective answer to this question slicing the historical fee statistical distribution since bitcoin inception.
He also sliced every single day to discover the best timezone to have your transaction confirmed with as low fees as possible.
Topic: Bitcoin Transaction Fees - Everything in one (Read 1820 times)
The bitcoin halving resulted in increases of transaction fees on bitcoin network. It is better than what occured in 2017 and early 2018 but the fee is still been high, even today. I have a small tip for you (especially for beginners) if you are not familiar with bitcoin transactions and how to choose the right time to move your coins, and to save fees.
Transaction fees often fall in weekends. You can get how it goes by looking at the 30days chart at https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,30d
As of writing time of this post, the suggested fee to move your coins is at 106 satoshis/byte, according to https://coinb.in/#fees. Earlier today, the fee was at somewhere around 40 satoshis/byte.
In the wide view (30 days), you can see total unconfirmed transactions began to decrease. If you are not in hurry, I advice you to wait till next 2 weeks, for the next difficulty adjustment to have better transaction fees. There are always chances to move your coins at low fees but if you don't have time to look at the mempool's stats regularly, it is better to wait till next 2 weeks.

I stumbled on this Mempool Observer: https://mempool.observer/#current-mempool
It has some nice visual tools on mempool analysis.
omething new and in development, worth keeping an eye on it.
I appreciated your disclose to that site. I have to observe its developments, upgrades and compare its features with the https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h. Let's see which features we can get from the new site, that is better than old site.It has some nice visual tools on mempool analysis.
omething new and in development, worth keeping an eye on it.
On the other hand, it is good to have one more site provides stats for mempool. Just in case one site is down, we will still have an alternative ready to use.
ATM, after the spike of bitcoin price and fee, now we can move or consolidate bitcoin at 1 satoshi/ byte, according to: https://coinb.in/#fees

The recommended fee is temporarily at 1 satoshi / byte: https://coinb.in/#fees
Today you have good time to consolidate your coins, at 1 satoshi/byte but if you want to move your coins faster (don't want to wait for too long) and still with cheap fee, you can set the fee at 2 or 3 satoshis/ byte.

Hello.
Bitmex just launched an analytical website, and one of the pages is dedicated to the fees:
Fee Estimation Dashboard
There are a lot of additional table and informations you could include in your OP.
Hope it helps.

Of course if you click on the actual website the above image is continuosly updated. For example now the higher fees is around 30 sats/b.
I provided a static image because it was a simple reference here on the post.
I check the site again and see it. Thank you, again, for the very quick and detailed reply.I provided a static image because it was a simple reference here on the post.
I also updated OP with that site and a short explanation.
It is a very cool site to check estimate fees and correspondent waiting time to get confirmation. Thanks for bringing it here.
Yes, It's a website I usually take advantage of, I find very intuitive. Sorry if I didn't bring it earlier, but I didn't notice it wasn't inlcuded.I have a question, if you know it, please help:
That site only has an image that you posted above. I don't know that details are dynamically updated or it is a fixed one.

As of writing time, the transaction fee stays at 19 satoshis/ byte (according to https://coinb.in/#fees), but remember you can set your fee at 1 satoshi/ byte but you have to wait a bit longer for confirmations.
But people have to aware of potential issues if their transactions don't get confirmations, and they need to boost their transactions faster. The option Replace-By-Fee in your wallet should be chosen. Details in the above post.

A very nice website for checking bitcoin fees:
whatthefee.io
It give a probabilistic estimate of the block inclusion (expressed in time) given the fees paid.
Example:
Q:I want a 95% probability of inclusion in the next 3 blocks, which level shall I pay?
A:20.1 sat/b
I want to pay 1 sat/b, how long will it take to be included with 95% probability?
A: 8 hours

Occasionally, I saw the article, from which I knew new valuable information, which I will share with you now.
If you set your transaction fees too low, and your transaction does not get confirmation from miners. You will be able to redo your transaction after 72 hours or 2 weeks.
Remember to choose the option: Enable Replace By Fee in your wallet.
Anyway, if you want to move your coins at low fees, choose 1 or 2 satoshis per byte is cheap enough, and before doing this you should check estimated transaction fees at the time you want to move your coins. If estimated/ suggested transaction fee is 1 or 2 satoshis/ byte, it is good time for you to choose low fees.

Bitcoin transation fee is really expensive and this usaually happens when the bitcoin network gets congested
What you said is about bitcoin network and bitcoin transaction fees back in 2017 and early of 2018. Nowadays, transaction fees are very cheap, and network operates smoothly. I have never seen network congestion for months, so really don't understand why you said like this.Temporarily, fees stays at 1 satoshi/ byte, that is very cheap.

As far as I know Bitcoin does apply in some cases such as lower fees Example Segwit other hands higher fee applicable.

Segwit Benefits
SegWit improves Bitcoin and fixes a number of bugs. The main features of Segwit are described in detail below.
Capacity Increase
Segwit doubled the capacity of the Bitcoin network.
A lot of people are claiming that SegWit did not increase the block size. It’s very easy to see that, yes, SegWit was a block size increase!
Here, for example, we can see a 2,177 KB (2.17 MB) Bitcoin block mined in January 2018.

By the way, I checked and saw transaction fees temporarily fell to 1 Satoshi/ byte. Now, everyone, let's move your coins or consolidate them at cheap fees. Hurry up.
At the moment, transaction fees fell to 1 sat/byte. Fees for transaction with 1 input (148 bytes), 1 outputs (34 bytes) costs only 192 satoshis.
It is a best time to consolidate your bitcoin leftovers, but it doesn't last for too long (when bitcoin falls deeper, people will fall into panic sellings, and fees will rise again). Hurry up.

Long time no bump for the thread. So, today I would like to bump it and give you some basics on bitcoin transaction fees.
Fees dramatically increased to 52 sat/byte, temporarily. Fees for transaction with 1 input (148 bytes), 3 outputs (102 bytes) costs only 13520 satoshis.
It is not a good time to consolidate your coins.

Fees dramatically rose to 2 sat/byte, temporarily. Fees for transaction with 1 input (148 bytes), 3 outputs (102 bytes) costs only 520 satoshis, which is double than yesterday fee.
As I wrote yesterday, best time to consolidate your bitcoin leftovers don't last too long. time to consolidate your coins. Anyway, it is not too bad to move your bitcoin leftovers with 2 satoshis/ byte, but if you don't want to move them now with such fee, you can wait to see fees drop to 1 satoshi/ byte to do this. Or you can just do you transactions with fee set at 1 sat/byte, then wait hours (mostly days) to see it get confirmed.

- You don't need to wait to see esitmated fee drops to 1 satoshi/ byte to start moving your coins. You can move them anytime you want, with fee set at 1 satoshi/ byte, then wait patiently. When fee drops to 1 satoshi/ byte, your waiting transactions will be prioritized to get confirmations.
A little bit update on transaction fees:
Temporarily, Bitcoin transaction fees rose to 34 sat/byte. Fees for transaction with 1 input (148 bytes), 3 outputs (102 bytes) costs only 8840 satoshis, which is much higher than just early hours today.

Reminder:
@gentlemand, that $500 million spike looks really weird (around 1/1/18)... Must have been when a lot of people pulled out as their money hasn't returned to this market yet (since we aren't at $20k).
It's more likely it was caused by the very high fees at that time, 800 sat/byte was "normal", resulting in $25 or more in fees for a small transaction, and many thousands of dollars for a transaction with a lot of inputs and outputs.
I see that a few 0 fee transactions have been confirmed. I want to try this to move coins between my wallets, so confirmation times don't matter.
It's spiked much higher than that much more recently. If you look at the third graph on Jochen's page here (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,4d), just 2 days ago you were looking at fees of around 100 sat/byte to get within a couple of megabytes of the tip.
Thank you for the info. I simply compared yesterday transaction fees with the figures 11 days ago, and missed its latest spike. Thank you for correcting me.Today, the fee rises to 13 sat/ byte.
https://coinb.in/#fees
Today, fee drops to 1 sat/ byte, it's time to move coins with cheap fees. Because fee bottoms out again, from its latest spike at 27 satoshis/ byte around 11 days ago.
It's spiked much higher than that much more recently. If you look at the third graph on Jochen's page here (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,4d), just 2 days ago you were looking at fees of around 100 sat/byte to get within a couple of megabytes of the tip.As you say though, the mempool is currently clearing out to pretty much empty every few hours. Now is a good time to consolidate your coins.
It entirely depends on what the mempool is doing at the time. There are times where they would be no difference in speed of confirmation between 1 sat/byte and 100 sat/byte; if the mempool is empty, they will both make it in to the next block. But there are also times where 3 sat/byte is just enough to make it in to a block, while 2 sat/byte isn't, and the 2 sat/byte transaction ends up waiting hours or days to confirm.
Around two weeks ago, I made a transaction with 1 satoshi/ byte, that took around three or four days to get confirmations. I think it is good, in case I am not hurry, and just want to move my coins for later use, not instant usages. Even 10k satoshis worth lots of money if bitcoin hit $400,000. At this rate of Bitcoin, 10k satoshis worth $40. Today, fee drops to 1 sat/ byte, it's time to move coins with cheap fees. Because fee bottoms out again, from its latest spike at 27 satoshis/ byte around 11 days ago.

But there are also times where 3 sat/byte is just enough to make it in to a block, while 2 sat/byte isn't, and the 2 sat/byte transaction ends up waiting hours or days to confirm.In short, before making a transaction it's always best to visually see what the mempool is doing here: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h
Is the transaction confirmation is faster if you put your transaction fee higher even if it is 2sat/byte or 3sat/byte?. What is the difference between 2sat/byte and 3sat/byte?. I think the speed of both sat/byte is the same if you are planning to pay more transaction fees to make your transaction confirmed faster than nornal.
Does fee depend on type of addresses involved into transaction?
Sure. You can see differences.

Fees for transaction with 1 input (148 bytes), 3 outputs (102 bytes) costs only 520 satoshis. It means the transaction of 260 bytes cost 520 satoshis as transaction fees

Does fee depend on type of addresses involved into transaction? Say if I was going to send three different trx from "1", "3" and “bc1” types of addresses which one would be preferable in the relevance of fee, other things being equal?
Transaction fees increased last hours that displayed in the 6hour-chart. Transaction fees for 1 input (148 bytes) and 3 outputs (102 bytes) are 11440 satoshis, as of writing. It increase dramatically since yesterday fees, at 2600 satoshis (Check the OP to get it if you want). Average fees per byte as of writing and yesterday are 44 sat/ byte and 10 sat/byte, respectively. It means fees rose nearly 4.4 times recent hours.

Generally, bitcoin transaction fees depends on what's going on on bitcoin network. Whenever bitcoin network become more crowded and clogged up by more transactions waiting to be confirmed, transaction fees for miners will be boosted up. Fees will automatically become higher. However, transaction fees have its cycle, that highly correlated with bitcoin price.
If you are not hurry, and can wait 1 to 3 days to see your transactions finished, you can apply those tricks below.
Overview of network situation:
Please visit this page to check total unconfirmed transactions:

To have better overview, you can get the chart of unconfirmed transactions there: https://www.blockchain.com/charts/mempool-count?timespan=60days
From the chart, it is clearly that we have been in good period to move bitcoins.
There is a better site, https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h (look at the third graph).

Generally, as of writing, transaction fee has been on its upwards trend, as same as bitcoin. Fortunately, it is likely that fees have decreased dramatically since its latest peak around 4th - 5th June 2019 (you can see it in the 1D fee-chart.)
You can also check the average time to find blocks to get overview of network transactions: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/blocks
If you don't want to join fee wars and unknowingly help miners to increase transaction fees for their benefits, you should use this page to get recommend fees:

There is a site: whatthefee.io, that gives you a detailed table in which you can find pairs of fees and waiting-time to get confirmation. The site dynamically updates their information corresponding to the bitcoin's network status.
In addition, applying guides of LoyceV to move your coins when network provides you great chance to move funds around with low fees.

I added some images to visually describe how to enable manually editing fees feature and how to manually set fees:
Choosing the address you want to send your bitcoin from that, for example, I have an address that have 0.00125 BTC in total; I click on Max button (only do this if you have small amount of bitcoin in that address); then type fee (at 1 satoshi/ byte); I can see total available bitcoin to send after subtracting fees is at 0.0012489 BTC
Now, what if with the same address, same amount of bitcoin, how many bitcoin will be availble to send if I set fee at 100 satoshis/ byte. Only 0.00114 BTC will be left to send. Please look at it:

Thanks @o_e_l_e_o.
This a poor graph to use to visualize the mempool in the context of working out a fee. A better choice is the third graph on Johoe's site here (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h) entitled "Mempool Size in MB".
The reason for this is because the graph you linked to shows the number of unconfirmed transactions, whereas the graph I've linked to shows the size in MB of these unconfirmed transactions. Why is this important? I'll use two examples to illustrate my point. Lets say first of all that the mempool contains 10,000 transactions, but each transaction is less than 250 vbytes in size. This means the mempool is actually relatively empty at only 2.5 MB, and could completely empty in only 3 blocks. Conversely, lets now say the mempool contains only 1,000 transactions, but they are all huge consolidation transaction from various exchanges, and each one is 30,000 vbytes in size. Now the mempool is the fullest it has been in months at over 30 MB.
So using the graph you linked, if we see 1,000 or 10,000 transaction, we don't actually know how full the mempool is because we don't know the size of those transactions, which is what actually matters. Blocks are limited by size, not by number of transactions. A block could contain anywhere from 0 to over 4000 transactions.

You can compare the data from this study with the data generated at Johoe's Mempool Statistics page: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,2w. Here's a random 2 week sample I took from last September (click for full size):
The dates along the bottom are at midnight (00:00) UTC. So you can see from this sample, there is a spike in fees on most days between around 10:00 and 18:00 (when Europe and then later America are awake), at which point they start reducing, and hit a low point around 01:00 - 04:00 UTC. This certainly ties in with the data from OP's study.
It's something I've casually noticed, but never given much though to. But considering it now, I wouldn't have expected such a constant and similar drop given that China has more people than Europe and North America combined.

Bitcoin transaction fees (in sats/kb). Sunday, Saturday are best to move BTC
One of the craziest period of crypto market, with all time highs of bitcoin price and bitcoin transaction fees.
@gentlemand, that $500 million spike looks really weird (around 1/1/18)... Must have been when a lot of people pulled out as their money hasn't returned to this market yet (since we aren't at $20k).
It's more likely it was caused by the very high fees at that time, 800 sat/byte was "normal", resulting in $25 or more in fees for a small transaction, and many thousands of dollars for a transaction with a lot of inputs and outputs.Bitmex:
Bitmex just launched an analytical website, and one of the pages is dedicated to the fees:
