Use fee/priority estimates in wallet CreateTransaction
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead of using hard-coded fees or priorities. A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or transaction fee. -paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget. Relaying and mining code isn't changed. For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants); unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher priority than is justified by the free transactions actually being accepted into blocks. I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.

Transaction fee changes
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
This release automatically estimates how high a transaction fee (or how
|
||||
high a priority) transactions require to be confirmed quickly. The default
|
||||
settings will create transactions that confirm quickly; see the new
|
||||
'txconfirmtarget' setting to control the tradeoff between fees and
|
||||
confirmation times.
|
||||
|
||||
Prior releases used hard-coded fees (and priorities), and would
|
||||
sometimes create transactions that took a very long time to confirm.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New Command Line Options
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
-txconfirmtarget=n : create transactions that have enough fees (or priority)
|
||||
so they are likely to confirm within n blocks (default: 1). This setting
|
||||
is over-ridden by the -paytxfee option.
|
||||
|
||||
