The fees are explained generally in the help at:
https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_whatIsTheTransactionFee.html

There is a more detailed discussion upthread around about this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2603208

I recommend keeping up to date with the MultiBit releases to get the benefit of bug fixes and various updates.
For instance, in 0.5.13 there is improved wallet backups. This took me about a month to implement. The backup files are described in detail here:
https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_fileDescriptions.html

You can get this month's work for the price of $0 and 1 minute of your time if you upgrade to 0.5.13.

There has been at least one instance where a user has lost bitcoin due to a combination of what he did and how the older version of MultiBit he was using operated. If he had been on a more recent version there would have been bug fixes and extra functionality that would have meant he would not have lost his private keys.

Ultimately it is your choice what version of MultiBit you use. They are your bitcoins and you own your computer.
However support works both ways. If you don't spend a minute of your time to keep up to date you cannot realistically expect other people to help you if you encounter a bug/ problem that was fixed months ago.

I understand what the fee solver tries to accomplish and that you do contribute a valuable service to the bitcoin by continuing to develop improvements for what is the best bitcoin client for many use cases.

My predicament with the txfee solver using the new minimums is that, I most cases when I am sending transactions I want them to be confirmed fast which means I want to pay more than the default fee. Maybe for most users this isn't a very big issue, but for me being able to control how much of a fee I attach is a tremendous benefit of pre-5.12 versions.

That fee calculator is actually why for the forseeable future I'm sticking with 0.5.11

Yes I don't understand how the fees work in the latest version 0.5.13. Is there any way to specify the miner's fee like you can do with blockchain.info? I would like to be able to make it larger or smaller, as I like. I'm fine with it having no option to remove the fee entirely because I don't think I would ever want to do that, but I wish I could increase it on occasion.

You don't mention which version of MultiBit you are using but I recommend upgrading to the latest version if you are on an older version than 0.5.12. It will work out the correct fee for spending these.

Also, checking on blockchain.info for that address, you have some tiny amounts of bitcoin coming in. You have several amounts of 4 satoshis. You don't mention which version of MultiBit you are using but I recommend upgrading to the latest version if you are on an older version than 0.5.12. It will work out the correct fee for spending these.

Four satoshis is less than one half of a thousandth of a cent - at the current fee price of 0.0001 BTC per KB of transaction you will unfortunately spend more in fees than those are worth when you try to spend them.

After you do a reset blockchain you should have in your MultiBit wallet what is on the blockchain.
You can crosscheck this by looking at the address(es) in blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com and comparing the transactions.

If you find a confirmed transaction that appears in blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com that is not in your multibit wallet (after your reset) please post the details.

If, on the other hand, they all match i.e. you are seeing the same confirmed transactions on all three systems then it is virtually certain that those are the correct transactions.

Thanks for your feedback.

Making an intuitive GUI is surprisingly hard especially as things like colors are taken from your desktop settings. This is so that things blend in between different apps.

The look and feel is quite different on Mac/ Win/ Linux for instance.

Another interesting aspect is what I think of as 'attention'. Humans only have so much visual attention - a lot is filtered before you are conscious of it. I think of it as with a sound mix. If you raise the bass it drowns out the voice etc.

Also there are cultural associations with certain colors - like 'China red' which in China is very widely used but seems quite bright to Westerners.

I am planning to move to a better GUI library - JavaFX rather than Swing - for version 0.6 so that should give me more flexibility.

Thanks in advance for any donations - by its a nature I never really know who donates what but it is all appreciated. Currently I am using it to pay for the multibit.org server fees.

Cheers

I just started using Multibit and like it so far even though a little quirky at times.

My one recommendation (which probably has been suggested before) is to change the color scheme, or something, which indicates the current selected active wallet.

I always have to click back and forth between them to figure out which one is selected. Maybe have the inactive ones fade into a lighter gray or have the active one be bold print surrounded by bold black border...just something because the current system is not very intuitive.

But I will probably use Multibit some more and will donate once I get some use out of it and am sure that it is meeting my needs. Thanks for all the hard work on it.

(and btw, I am using the latest Windows version of Multibit)

Changing avatars is currently not possible.

Is there a way to see individual balance of all addresses in a wallet?
edit: just saw this question asked elsewhere, it's not available.

My transaction Isn't going though! It says "seen by one peer not seen in block chain" and has been going all night. Block chain dosn't show any of this. This is half of my small wallet and its important I can recover this any help?

Sometimes i've seen it just hang,

1) first thing check the transaction on Blockchain.org or similar site to see if its been seen confirmed or unconfirmed transaction.

2) Then restart the Mutibit client. This is usually enough.

3 ) There is a third step but this is not usually required in this case, where you can reset the reference point that multibit is usiing.
: goto tools - Reset Blockchain and Transactions - pick a date before your transaction.

If the transaction didn't actually send ( see step 1) then after step three you 'should' see that coin just pop back up in your account.

good luck

A wallet is created automatically in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MultiBit . Did you check this directory (and its subdirectories)?

Hello,
I have lost track of one bitcoin in multibit. The program was downloaded on my friend's computer and I didn't create a wallet, I just clicked request bitcoin. An address popped up, I sent 1 bitcoin to it, and then he clicked close wallet.

We didn't actually specify a location for the wallet and couldn't find it when we tried to open it again. I tried searching in finder (mac) and tried showing hidden files and searching for all .wallet files, but we couldn't find it.

Where are the private keys? Please can someone help or link to somewhere where this question was already answered?

Thank you!

Hi btctraderr,

Thanks for your feedback.

You can only have 2 exchange tickers up at the top - it is a case of diminishing returns/ use of space. MultiBit isn't meant to be a full blown trading app.

I reckon everyone wants to see their local currency and there is a good justification for seeing another currency or another exchange. (Lots of people track USD for instance). Beyond two you are more into the trader/ power user usage.

Cheers,

Jim
