How do you know when your coins are old enough to send without a fee?

Not trying to hijack this thread, but my question is directly related and I didn't want to start a separate thread.

I recently sent 2 BTC from one of my addresses to another of my addresses. The transaction fee was .00009 but I still have 2 BTC in my new wallet (not 1.99991 BTC) and blockchain.info shows 2 BTC received as well.

Is there some rounding in how the blockchain displays the amounts and my new address actually has slightly less than 2 BTC in it? If not, where did the fee come from?


When you send 2 btc out and pay .00009 tx fee, the receiver should receive 2 btc while the sender should have spent 2.00009 btc. Smiley

Also please don't spam the blockchain with useless transactions that have no real intentions it only makes it harder to download, it's big enought already.

I think at some point in the near future, devs are going to really have to deal with the issue of blockchain bloat. It won't be solved by users trying to cut back on data.

Standard fee for a simple transaction will usually be .0001 BTC. More inputs = more data = higher fee.

How is that related to OP's question "can someone explain how the transaction fees work?"

It depends on the age of the coin. (Number of days it have not been moved)
Amount. (Transactions below 0.01 is considered as low priority)
 Size of transactions ( it also depends on how big your transaction size is for example, it have many inputs or outputs, then you will have to pay a higher transaction fees as the size is bigger)

Ok can someone explain how the transaction fees work?

I see things for sale that cost less than the fee it charges me.

Bitcoin tx fee depends on the tx size in KB, not the amount of btc transacted.
The standard fee is 0.001 btc per KB.

Ug sorry. I figured it out, you have to have money on deposit in order to purchase things for 1 satoshi.
What in the heck could you possibly have been considering purchasing for a single satoshi may I ask?  1 satoshi at today's rate isn't even 1/10,000th of a single US penny!  Anyhoo, wouldn't make much sense paying transaction fee's in this case.

The last fee I noticed was about $0.06USD, maybe a bit more, yes 6 cents. What are you seeing?
