The fees shown at the historic charts and tables are in US dollars per transaction and in satoshis per byte. This site keeps a record of how Bitcoin transaction fees evolve over time. This means that to get your transaction processed quickly you will have to outbid other users. The space available for transactions in a block is currently artificially limited to 1 MB in the Bitcoin network. Transaction fees are included with your bitcoin transaction in order to have your transaction processed by a miner and confirmed by the Bitcoin network. The amounts shown here are probabilistic and there are no guarantees that they will work. Because of the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network and the fact that there is sometimes congestion in the available block space (because of the 1 MB limit),.After the first confirmation, the waiting time for each additional confirmation is completely independent of the transaction fee you paid.Once your transaction is included in a Bitcoin block and thus obtains the first confirmation, you will need to wait approximately 10 minutes for each additional confirmation.When making a Bitcoin transaction, recipients usually require somewhere between 2 and 6 confirmations to consider the transaction as valid.The transaction fee you pay will only affect the time you have to wait until the first confirmation.These are the estimated fees you should use depending on how fast you would like to obtain the first confirmation for a typical transaction.
