dogecoin: Transaction Fee Adjustment is broken. Cannot send more than 1 Doge/kb
This issue tracker is only for technical issues related to Dogecoin Core.
For general questions about Dogecoin please use one of the various communities, e.g. Reddit, IRC, Discord, etc.
Describe the issue
Can you reliably reproduce the issue?
If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:
- Set transaction fee to 10 doge (Anything above 1)
- Hit “Send” button, enter passcode to decrypt.
- On popup summary screen asking “Are you sure you wish to send” it only states 1 Doge will be taken for transaction despite value in step 1 above. Transaction ID’s also report only 1 doge was used. This is causing 18 hour delays in sending during volatility times.
Expected behaviour
Tell us what should happen
When I set a custom fee value, or use the recommended value and it shows a value, when I hit send, on the popup summary screen it should show the amount being used towards the transaction fee and actually use it.
Actual behaviour
Tell us what happens instead
It is only ever using 1 doge instead on the screen, and verified as only using 1 doge for the transaction in the transaction id browser.
Screenshots.
If the issue is related to the GUI, screenshots can be added to this issue via drag & drop.
I believe the GUI pop up screen is accurately displaying the correct value of 1 as that is what it is sending, but the client is not honoring the custom or recommended doge/kb values set manually in the client.
What version of Dogecoin Core are you using?

@nikitis All transactions cost 1 DOGE. There is no incentive for nodes or miners to favor any transaction more than other, they all cost the same.
Having said that. Fees are in the process of being reduced, and the bug you allude has partly been addressed already (#2446 ).
@patricklodder @rnicoll @michilumin We can close this.
Currently, there is normally no reason to use any other fee than recommended. It’s good that fee requirement is deterministic. But things may change in the future. At some point, 1 DOGE fee may become high, and we should be ready to change the default policy. I was saying that before, but people disregarded my concerns, thinking that I was dreaming. Maybe now they will listen.
Also I need to emphasise - it’s not any single group you need to convince, but it’s both the wider community and the miners, because if you reduce the fees, you’re reducing miner payments, and we have no way of forcing them to accept that.
I think, referendum would not be needed here. Let’s discuss it on reddit and in Dogecoin chats. https://redd.it/lg4hp7
I’d also like to note. I tested with several other people in the #dogecoin IRC Chatroom on freenode and they confirmed the bug, and asked me to report the bug.
