what's the seller's address, you can prove you sent coins to it.
Thanks for the information. :0>
I typically pay .0001 for something that's time sensitive, and it typically gets a confirmation within three blocks (under 30 minutes). If I go with no fee, it usually goes through within an hour or two. Consider moving your 'spending money' to a better connected node, like www.blockchain.info. I'm not sure why else it'd take a week, unless the seller failed.
The purpose of the fee is to provide an incentive to a miner (or mining pool) to include your transaction in a block (confirm your transaction) instead of someone else's transaction who paid less of a fee than you.
It goes to the miner (or mining pool) that confirms your transaction (includes it in a block).

Mine took almost 8 days. What is the purpose of this fee, and to whom does it go?
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for your reply.
In the preferences section of your wallet there should be a place to designate a transaction fee to accompany your transaction. I currently use .001 bitcoins, I've seen the suggestion that .01 is more appropriate, I don't know. What I do know is that transactions appear to be picked up quicker if they include a fee. I sent one thru one time without it just to see and it took over 8 hours.
Please explain.
SA is missing an idiot.
Like, what kind of fee? There was no fee of which I was aware.
Did you include a fee in the transaction?
Actually, it finally went through today. Only took a week. I was beginning to panic. I was under the impression that it would be instantaneous.
I ordered a gift card online, but the seller claims that my payment wasn't received, even though the amount has already been deducted from my balance. So what then? Can I get my money back or am I just out the money?
