Bitcoind doesn't add miner fee

Question

How do I make sure bitcoind's RPC call sendtoaddress adds miner fees to transactions?

Tried adding to our bitcoin.conf file: mintxfee=0.0001

But some of the transactions still won't get any miner fee attached, causing payments to take hours or days to get confirmed.

Answer 1

The correct configuration parameter is: paytxfee=<amount>, where <amount>is the amount (fee) per kB to add to your outgoing txs
