Title: Localbitcoins serving the bitcoin community
Post by: farhaan on December 25, 2017, 12:54:57 PM
Hi, today i sent 0.01 btc from my electrum wallet to localbitcoin wallet.I was only able to send it when i set a fee of 0.0004 BTC.Then localbitcoins charged me an incoming fee :o :o :o of 0.00162 BTC.I was shocked to see the fee.So,totally i have spent 0.002 BTC for transferring 0.02 BTC.

That's almost 10% :o :o :o of the total amount sent.

I think that if satoshi is still alive and see this,he would even die out of a cardiac arrest. :( :( :(

they use high fee to make sure transaction will confirmed before 24 hour end.

good fee is 910 satoshis/byte so that you find it high.

There's no fee between localbitcoins accounts... take advantages of that. Last day, I paid to lbc account holder in dogecoins (transaction fee was 2 doges  :-*) and got back in Bitcoins. You need to use gimmicks like this when it using btc for small transaction.
