The -paytxfee
startup option and the settxfee
RPC are now deprecated and will be removed in Bitcoin Core 31.0. They allowed the user to set a static fee rate for wallet transactions, which could potentially lead to overpaying or underpaying. Users should instead rely on fee estimation or specify a fee rate per transaction using the fee_rate
argument in RPCs such as fundrawtransaction
, sendtoaddress
, send
, sendall
, and sendmany
. (#31278)
