Explore and document how to handle send fees

[steynviljoen67]

Describe your content request

When a customer sends bitcoin to another wallet, fees can be included within the amount you want to send or on top of the amount. There are some slight nuances that creates a bad experience.

This request is to explore and document what the different alternatives are.

@steynviljoen67 An example of service provider(s) fees that we discussed: https://twitter.com/bitcoinkeeper_/status/1634953589620891648

These would factor into the considerations for our scenarios.

Great, thank you!

Adding the draft

@yashrajd did you meant to post your comment on issue #989? Seems more relevant there.

Just took a look at the document. I think it's a good time to design screen mock-ups for this, you can probably communicate a good part of the content visually.

[steynviljoen67]

Cool, I'll put some screens together and circulate for feedback.

Quick update on this issue. @steynviljoen67 is pretty swamped right now so I'll help wrap things up. After reviewing all the work done, I'd recommend that we extract the Fees section in the Daily spending wallet -> Sending page into a separate sub-page. There's already a good amount of information there that we can add Steyn's research to. That will give us a dedicated page for anything related to fees, both onchain and lightning. This is more convenient for readers, and allows us to dive into more detail and edge cases because we have the dedicated space. I'll bring that up in the jam session today and if everyone's OK with it, set up a PR. How does that sound, Steyn?

Thanks Christoph, that makes sense to me. Thanks for picking it up for me. 🙏🏻

@steynviljoen67 I just created a pull request with my proposal for adding your research, married with the content we already have. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
