Which fee should I use?

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 220 satoshis/byte
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of **49,720 satoshis.**

I'm using multi bit classic on my laptop. Before you answered I did a reset on my blockchain. But nothing has seemed to have happened. I have upped the standard fee to max for when I'm ready to send. I'm just not sure how get them back into my wallet. At the moment 1 of the 2 transactions says it's back in my balance, but it isn't spendable. And the other is still listed as going to its original destination (peers have reset though).

<p>Hey guys been looking through the forums and I'm still not quite sure how to speed things up or fix it. (Not very good with this kind of stuff)</p>

<p>Here's my wallet address - 1GZK3NYHCAScGRb4awAkXGVXszstwCVEEh</p>

<p>Both transactions say they have been seen by 50+ peers </p>

<p>I used the standard multi bit classic fee 0.0001
Which has never slowed me down in the past. </p>

<p>Any advice or help would be awesome</p>

<p>I'm happy to just get them back and send again with a higher fee.</p>

<p>Cheers </p>

<p>Edit: I'm using multibit classic. I have done a block chain reset. One of the transactions says it's in my balalnce (not spendable) and the other seems to have stayed the same (being sent to the same address) but has only had the peers reset. I've looked on blockchain info etc just not really understanding what I'm looking at. I assume the problem was the low fee, which I've now changed in my settings. Just not sure how to get it all back and start again. </p>

<p>Sorry I'm a bit of a noob</p>

Do you own the wallet in your computer or is it in the clouds (p.ex., Blockchain)? If so, what is the version, model (Blockchain.info, Bitcoin.org core 0.140.)?
