ok, thanks. I think that I've fixed my problem with extremely high fees. In Jaxx I just reset'd my cache, so that the transaction history was deleted. Seems like it changed some, now I "only" paid a 2-3$. Much better than my 25-30$ before that. I don't know if it payed also for my old transactions, or what happened (any suggestions?), but know it seems like my problem was solved

Some guys in this thread are talking about avoiding dust payment to get a lower fee. But how do you avoid dust payments? What to do? I am new to this, and my fees (in jaxx wallet) are extremely high (around 25$).

I am looking for a solution, and was wondering, can exodus solve my fee problem?

I am mostly using shapeshifting

Thanxx

Ok. I've read different places, that fees rely on the size of the transaction, and if you set your fee to low, then it might actually get more expensive because there are a lot of dust payments. Am I wrong? If not, I would like to find out, if there is a wallet where you can set your own tx fee. Right now I have Jaxx, which allow me to set 3 different types of price/speeds, but seem to me, that it isn't working probably, because the fee is actually the same.

Have anyone experiences with other wallets, where you can set the tx fee yourself?

I can see that this guy had the same problem

, and it is something with to many inputs, which I don't how to fix (I am new to this)?

ok. But then I must really do something wromg, because it is definetely not the first time I experienced such high fees (25$), actually I think it is every single time I've tried it (around 15 times), so I've lost a lot on transactions fee. And you say that it usually cost about 3$. So something must definetly be wrong.

Is it because I am chancing currency (ex. from btc to bts, og eth to gth)?? Does it cost more to shapeshift, than just move btc from one wallet to another??
Any suggestions? I would really like to find out, because I am transfering currencies quite a lot.

by the way, when I shapeshift in jaxx, it says that it will cost x (ex. 0.003 eth), but I can see when I receive the transfer, it had costed me a lot more. Like 10 times more. A mysterious to me  ?!!?!?!

edited: I've just lokked in my transaction ID, and they say the fees are 0.15$ (sometimes a bit higher), but it costed me 25$ a several times. Lost estimated 200-300$ on this!!

Thanks for all the replies, kind of you

OK, thanks. But you say that the btc fee doesn't change wethever you buy 500$ or 1000$ ?? Is it (in my case) 25 $ in both cases?

Ok, but I think 10 % fee is very, very much? I mean, if I want to invest in shares/stocks outside my home country (Scandinavia), then it will only cost me 0,6 percent. There's a long way from bitcoin fee (around 4-5%), and then to 0,6 percent. I am just wondering why bitcoins/cryptocurrencies is said to be the future, when the fee is almost 10 times higher?

thanks for answer. But cryptocurrency have no future if they take 25$ to transfer 500$?? A "normal" bank would never ever take that amount

I've just sended bts --> bitcoin from bitshares to jaxx (I used blocktraders). I sended for 550 dollars, and when I received it 20 seconds later, there was onlu btc for 525 dollars. 25 dollars for a transaction, isn't it very much?? It's 5 %, and I've tried this before, so it is not just a single episode. Also tried it with shapeshifting in jaxx. Are there any ways I can lower this cost?

thanxx
