Title: Lightning Network like a solution for bitcoin ? Post by: wonderchaff on November 12, 2017, 04:47:57 PM Hi guys , I wanted to send some btc but when i look at BTC.com and recommended fee is around 0.01 btc/kb and there are around 170 000 unconfirmed transactions so i think i should wait some days to send my btc. But ok 2x is cancelled so what going to be next ? I mean new upgrade for btc network,
at what stage is development of lightning network ? because bitcoin is inapplicable for small transactions and it hampers the growth of bitcoin itself.

As for BTC.com then it has nothing to do with the network, I mean I know the fees are a little bit expensive using other wallets but there is definitely a bug from there part. I use them and I faced the same issue while that's not the case when I'm trying to send using Electrum or other wallets (using default fees).

And what wallet are you using ? Title: Re: Lightning Network like a solution for bitcoin ? Post by: Xavofat on November 12, 2017, 05:53:49 PM there is definitely a bug from there part. As of this post, to get a transaction into the next block you would most likely need to send with a fee of 950 satoshi/byte (https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/). Therefore, a high-priority small-size (226 byte) legacy transaction (which makes up a very large number of recent transactions), would cost somewhere around $12-14.any time frame? It's hard to put a time frame on it. The last thing you want is a rushed LN wallet release which could end up having serious bugs.It may also take a long time until the majority of services begin to accept LN transactions after an LN wallet is created. |
