Walletwasabi: Add manual tx fee setting

[nopara73]

So this feature request arrived to me. I think, either an "Advanced Send" tab should be added, which is the same as the "Send" but complicated or an "Advanced switch" should be added to the "Send" tab.

Other Send tab related feature request issues:

• Add pay to many ability https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/733
• Make feerate query not on-demand https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/420
• Fees are not known https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/553
• Add ability to read QR code while sending https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/731
• Advanced RBF https://github.com/zkSNACKs/Meta/issues/15

This is the feature I would currently want the most. Could be started with #553, as not knowing estimated fee is somehow most stresful, due to past experience with bad fee estimations in various wallets (for example, Mycelium on iOS with "Low Priority" miner fee setting sometimes tries to do transactions with less than 1 sat/B fee, which never propagates and these funds then are stuck for some two days).

Just displaying estimated fee IMHO could be done without much UI change, for example, it could be a tooltip when you hover fee estimation slider with your mouse.

Agree here. Being able to manually set a fee is a pretty important feature if users want to do their own fee estimation / prioritization (I am one such user).

Setting fee manually for advanced users is a must

It's so weird to have to estimate the number of bytes in a transaction based on number of UTXO then do calculations with $ value of fees to reverse engineer what actual fee is in sat/bytes.

I don't know of a single wallet that doesn't showing the fees in sat/bytes. That isn't considered an advanced feature by other wallet.

You can click on the fee to change the display of the fee:

If I understand correctly the problem.

Maybe we can just add a background to fee estimation so it looks more like an interactive element. Could match the "Max" button.

It took me a long time to know that this was clickable.

Yes, that's intentional and sorry about that, but we cannot clutter the UI too much, because Wasabi is getting less and less user friendly: https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/issues/1369

I agree that manual tx fee setting is still missing in the Wasabi UX.
I think Electrum Wallet has a very good interface which can be activated in the preference menu with a click on edit fees manually:

• manual sat/byte [then total fee is calculated]
• exact size of the transaction in bytes
• manual total fee of transaction [then sat/byte is calculated]
• when shifting the slider it shows the target in blocks and sat/byte of current position [I couldn't screenshot this...]
  

If the edit fees manually box is not checked, it only shows the slider with the pop up box of target and sat/byte.

This approach is clean enough for any regular user, but in depth for anyone who wants to see the details.
