Hi. I am trying to lower the fee to send bitcoins, but my wallet is stuck at a fee of 0.001 btc
I tried resetting the fee amount in the Settings>Options>Main window to 5000 satoshi,
but it is still stuck at 100,000 satoshi.
I am thinking I might pay 0.00000500 btc (500 satoshi) to send.
How do I make the fees less to send?
What wallet are you using? That's an important information to share.
A fee of 500 satoshis is worthless and will be treated as 0. It's possible in that case it's using a default value of 0.001. Try setting it to 0.0001 (per kb) which is what's normally used.
I recommend you to read this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1332793 and the docs about fees.
