Another unreasonable high withdrawal fee Sad .

Mempool is ok for at least 5 hours now and yet the fee is at 0.00025, way too high!

I don't think the high fees for withdrawing BTC is a stake-only issue per se. I mean, it's no longer news that BTC network fees has been on the high side for a while now. Considering the withdrawal fees I've seen on other casinos and sports betting platforms, stake's fees are decent. Crypto Exchanges charge a flat $20+ as fees even my non-custodial wallet app takes between $14 - $19.  There's an alternative too. You could use dinabot (thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5106586.0) to do a coinswitch to TRX and then withdraw with 5% fee for the service.

Don't forget it's a general problem not just for stake users.
@nelson4lov, in a situation like where people complain about the fee. I will advise the stake team to integrate a low withdrawing fee option for BTC (by merging two or more withdraw in a single transaction)  for users who are not hasting for their withdrawal.
@btcgrin-vic, the mempool maybe ok at your end but the 0.00025 fees per transaction is not too high with what I am seeing here cause it not enough for a transaction to be confirmed in the next 6 blocks

First, it amazes how some naive cryptocurrency investors/traders believe Elon has the final say to determine the next momentum of the crypto market using his tweet.
OP, Elon doesn't have anything to do with the last market dump at price and I believe it the Wall Street but the dump in price is just a market correction wish shouldn't be seen as the beginning of the Bitcoin market crash

After the shady deal between Tether USDT and Bitfinex and the false reserve fund of the Tether, team which leads to the lawsuit issue by the New York Attorney General back in the year 2019.
On  February 23rd, 2021.

The current market condition is not something new to us but I don't know why people make a big deal out of it. What we see now is not something bad as most people panic about and the last time I check the market make an unexceptional dump in price within 5% to 20% and start bullish again which is clearly a market correction.
I think chasing after profit all time is the disease most crypto investors/traders have.
245  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not serving its purpose ANYMORE transfer waiting 48hr even paid high on: February 24, 2021, 04:24:36 AM
Hello,

I was made a transfer yesterday
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/c2f026d881fb1e927918f6dbb699636e4fc4591623ceadac80c09a1db07fc03b

I paid high fee:
Fee
$29.26
(176.366 sat/B - 44.091 sat/WU - 339 bytes)

But still didnt get confirmed.

Wasn't the purpose of bitcoins fast money transfer with appropriate transfer fees?
Transaction confirmation delay doesn't mean Bitcoin did not serve it purpose anymore if you follow the right procedure before sending your transaction and paying a huge transaction doesn't matter either if you don't check the mempool condition.
Having said that, your transaction is currently at a good priority level and should get confirm in 2hours (12 blocks)if there's an increase in the network congestion since the wallet you use is Legacy but it will nice if you use the Segwit wallet ("bc1" or "3") next time.

This is a high fee transaction yet still unconfirmed. I've checked mempool and there's a lot of unconfirmed transactions.

Try your luck pushing that transaction through: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator

Wasn't the purpose of bitcoins fast money transfer with appropriate transfer fees?
That's right yet sad to see that you have experienced slow in confirmation even though you've paid a lot in fees.

Or use the bitaccelerate - https://bitaccelerate.com/. Whenever I make btc transaction, I use this free accelerator afterwards. OP's transaction will be soon confirmed. But 19 hrs and still waiting, paying  176 sat/byte, usually that payment amount before will only take few minutes.
bitaccelerate only rebroadcast transaction but https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator is the only working accelerator. It seems to be beyond the limit due to requests.
246  Other / Off-topic / Re: Deontay Wilder: He makes another WILD conspiracy theory about his loss to Fury on: February 22, 2021, 03:03:58 PM
The guy is in depression he is afraid to face Tyson for fear that he will get beaten again so he is playing this kind of game, the fact that he fired his former trainer who is his long time trainer we can easily conclude that he is out of control and he cannot get over and move forward with that loss.
Deontay Wilder is exposing his weakness as he cannot accept defeat and Mark Breland who threw in the towel to save Wilder is a former professional boxer and he knows very well about the consequences for taking punches but he fired him and then coming up with excuses and it is not because he is afraid to fight for the trilogy but he wants to convince himself that he lost because of outsider interference and that will not help him in improving.
He should realized on whats better, risking out his entire boxing career or accepting just 1 lost in a fight? Trainor/Coach does know on when to throw the towel
and when its not and he's just minding off his boxer which is a good thing to be done when you get beat up since we know the risk on being hit consecutively.
Its just  a right decision to make and he's just making it as a reason.
Every individual that watch the fight knew Wilder trainer throw the towel as at the when expected time cause he's not fit to continue with the fight which he also said he's feeling dizzy due to the blood he lost through his ear cut.
I once somehow believe his first excuse about Fury having something in his gloves but now I know Wilder just can't get over the fight

After 10 years Inter may win his first trophy this year, it is not over yet and they have the payment situation ongoing but at this point, they can only lose the Scudetto.
I supported what you said because the club (Inter) seems strong this season, they have defeated the second slot team on the table and seems ready to break the no trophy jinx but I honestly expected them to defeat Ac Milan since they always beat them whenever they met in the series A league since the year 2017 and Ac Milan only beat them once which was their last year game.

249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Miguel Berchelt vs Oscar Valdez WBC Super-Featherweight Title on: February 20, 2021, 11:21:06 PM
Notice though that he is square in his two feet when he throws successive power punch. Maybe Valdez and his team saw this one, all Valdez will do is move and find the right angle to throw that counter right or left hook.

Valdez is more agile than Berchelt and with Reynoso in his corner i think they already studied the weakness of Miguel and go for it if there is an opportunity.

Executing a game plan is easier said than done and knowing that these two warriors will leave their all in the ring, men in their corner will have a lot of shouting to do Grin.


I agree Valdez has an able method to move quickly and easily than Berchelt but that's not enough to judge who the winner of the fight will be, Reynoso in the corner or not Berchelt has already studied the weakness of Valdez despite his dazzling move.
Having said that, I believe Berchelt we will win this fight.

The transaction network congestion happening in Bitcoin and Ethereum is something everybody within the gambling community is aware which automatically give gambling site the chance to increase their withdraw fee although gamblers are allowed to choose their withdraw priority level maybe the fund should send (fast, medium or low) but 0.0001BTC/kb which is currently $5 should be enough to get a transaction to confirm in the next 6-7 blocks.
251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When sell holding alt coin in profit? on: February 20, 2021, 08:45:51 PM
When should long-held alt coins be sold? When to sell even when we are in profit? That doesn't make sense. Let me know if there is a suitable alternative to this issue.
First of all, we can give you advice but you also need to digest it and follow the best advice that is good for you.
To answer your question, you can sell the altcoin you have hold for long time anytime from now and invest in the primary coins which the whales and institution focus in since you are not selling it at lost price but if the price of the altcoin is yet to gove you profit you can still hold or sell if the price is not much to cut lost cause some altcoin won't benefit from this bullish market
This is one of the most difficult and inevitable questions in this market and we will have to find answers to it ourselves in each particular case. Not all of our tokens can rise in value the same. One is capable of rising in price tens and even hundreds of times, while the other has a price ceiling of growth only several times. We must predict this growth and make a sale decision with this in mind. We also have to accept that our actions will not always be successful, take into account mistakes and move on.
It normal that every trading decision action won't bring forth favorable results but there are satisfactorily way of choosing good investment in crypto currency and back in the early 2016 trading volume, historical data, capital market and community support grade are what investors used to select their investment but this day investors choose their investment through the hype that's why it difficult for some people to make profit.

Now cryptocurrency market raise and it is more simple to earn money. It is possible to earn money on price growing. But it is necessary to check everything before investment.
There are a lot of scams.
Project must be useful to create demand in the tokens.
There are ecological projects. https://moss.earth/blog/ - here is written how it is important to protect a nature.
Now I think a lot of people understands how it is important to protect a nature from CO2 pollution to fight with global warming.
It more simple to make a profit in the market when it bullish momentum but it also easy to make losses either if the traders is not highly experience. However, the project created to fight global warming is a good innovation but I don't see the cryptocurrency supporting it because investors are after quick profit making an investment.
252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BNB reached $300 on: February 19, 2021, 07:32:32 PM
I am very happy with the growth that BNB has experienced, because I have long kept this altcoin, I think that with the current growth, $ 300 is not difficult to achieve, because currently BNB has the upper hand, I hope this positive trend will continue.  continues, and can be a profitable future investment,
The BNB new ATH price was not difficult to achieve because the of the huge traffic Binance gained these days and the benefit investors get whenever they hold BNB which I believe it not different from what the Defi project we have in the does which I think is fair and unique strategy but the $1000  price range said by the OP is not acceptable by me.

254  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Elon Musk's dispute with a cryptocurrency wallet on: February 18, 2021, 10:39:14 PM
If Elon can create different of hype base message for Doge nothing stop him from doing the same as a favor for the free wallet and the last time I checked after the dispute free wallet experience 50% increased of download/user.
I doubt his intention here was to give positive advertisement to Freewallet in the same way he gave it to dogecoin and bitcoin. He publicly stated that the wallet sucks and advises his followers not to trust custodial services like that. The only interesting feature I found in the linked article is that sending coins/tokens between two Freewallet accounts (email addresses) is free.

But this wallet has an awful reputation. Check out just some of the threads accusing them of various scams:

1. Freewallet.org is a fraudster who cheated me out of 15.2BTC
2. Freewallet.org is a scam or they are just never satisfied
3. FREEWallet.org is a SCAM
4. Freewallet.org SCAM accusations - a compilation
I am aware of the wallet awful reputation and what Elon said about the wallet (free wallet) but the wallet representation reply and what Elon said after the wallet  issue was resolved is definitely a statement of creating for someone like Elon who's people easily used his statement as invest advised.
He directly hypes the wallet but he does in the end
255  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC HIT $50000🎯 on: February 18, 2021, 02:25:39 PM
Wow, another achievement unlocked which indicates that BTC hits another ATH today. $50000 is a huge now and it is already visible and breaks all the previous history. The great day is my cryptocurrency life which will be remembered and the thread will work as a reminder.
Are we going to see another ATH soon or the day will be remembered?
It is hard to stop Bitcoin if it begins to add thousands to its price. If Bitcoin passed 50k (yes it did) we can wait for 54k-56k levels to soon be reached. Currently, Bitcoin is walking around $51k, any time it can add this to the pocket.
Since the price of the Bitcoin market is footing by the level of market demand and supply, it totally no hard to manipulate the price of the market if an investor holding about $2Billion worth of Bitcoin dump his holding.
Having said, we need to be realistic when predicting the price of the market not to use the current market trend which may change at any moment in making predictions.
256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Feb 22 & XRP, what do you think will happen? on: February 18, 2021, 08:19:39 AM
I said that the XRP price will reach the moon after this meeting. There will definitely be a mutually beneficial agreement between the SEC and Ripple.
Positive thinking, you will definitely make big profits after that meeting.
XRP coin is the most manipulated we have in the market which is the reason why the team manage to keep it price at the current it was now but after the meeting I don't think things will be good for XRP since they broke the SEC rules and regulation.
Note : SEC is not nice to anyone or company that breaks the laws.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: taking profit can be hard sometimes. on: February 18, 2021, 06:04:05 AM
I don't see what makes taking profit to hard in any trading/investment decision if the investor/trader in charge aimed at a certain price range and not greed to stand on the plan on he had to begin with. But, if such trader/investor finds himself in the dilemma stage he can sell 50% of the investment while setting a stop loss strategy on the remaining holding.
Greed or not it is better to have good knowledge about saving capital which I believe is very important.

Although custodial wallet are not advisable for every crypto currency user but I don't believe in the drama that happened between Elon Musk and the Freewallet Dev. If Elon can create different of hype base message for Doge nothing stop him from doing the same as a favor for the free wallet and the last time I checked after the dispute free wallet experience 50% increased of download/user.
259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: USDT | TUSD | BUSD | USDC - What are the differences? on: February 17, 2021, 06:30:20 PM
In fact, these stablecoins are no different from each other, the essence is the same, but everyone has their own reputation, someone often blames Tether for the endless issue and many are not sure that the reserve is 1:1, nevertheless, the capitalization of USDT is the highest, as for me, the best USDC they have a license and every month the reserves in fiat are certified.
Technically, this coins are somehow different to each other in terms of creation, opinion etc but they are all backed by USD and use as Stablecoin.
As you said, the dishonesty of the USDT is what lead to the creation more USD backed stablecoin but if you look every at all the listed stablecoin they are not different from fiat currency.
260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you rely on the odds when placing bets? on: February 17, 2021, 11:51:01 AM

I view odds as nothing but representation of majority view towards a certain event. And that makes odds very very manipulative. In 2016, people's opinion of Donald Trump winning was so low, and it's like a cycle, people thought Trump won't win, the odds adjusted themselves, and people after seeing the odds believed it more. In sports, odds become much more dangerous to trust, because there is a huge luck factor as well, even the strongest player can get injured!

In sports it is also the result of the latest events of this or that team... For example, if an outsider suddenly wins several games in a row by chance, then his odds will increase in the following games...
But that doesn't happen because of the bookmakers, but because more bettors predict a victory for the outsider. The bookmaker always tries to adjust the odds so that it makes profits. Depending on how many bettors bet on a certain outcome, the odds change accordingly. I think sometimes that is not so clear to everyone.
The odd can be manipulative sometimes but it not primarily happens by the bookmaker cause some bookmaker buys or emulate the odds provided by some site. However, odds usually depend on the hype of the sporting event and the previous winning stance of each opponent.
