Thoughts on Tron Fees Going UP 4X

[icekohl]

When the number of users and the number of transactions skyrocketed on the network, the increase in transaction fees is inevitable. However TRX's transaction fees compared to ETH are still very cheap, so I have no problems with it.

I am surprised that there are people who still use TRX. I have always considered it as a failed innovation. Originally it was founded to assist with file-sharing of copyrighted content. But more than three years have passed and I have seen no evidence to claim that it is being used in that way. In short, TRX was another overhyped shitcoin, which failed to meet expectations from the cryptocurrency users.

So their main objective has not been achieved til now? I'm not familiar with the actual use case of tron. But if the fees will go up, then, they will lessen some of its users who are after for the transaction fees. They need to think about such move because there are alts that have very cheap transaction fees.

i have no idea what is going on with Tron but whatever they decide to do is beyond anyone's control. It's centralized anyway. if you hold a bag of TRX, there is still nothing you can do. but the polonidex look good because its volume is increasing every day.

it had evolved into a smartcontract platform to compete with the others, they still failed to do this actually but because of its low fees, many used it.

So they have just voted FOR a proposal to pretty much 4x the transaction fees on the Tron Network. Pretty much means for burner wallets to do certain transactions it can cost a good few TRX per transaction. What do you guys think of this change?

I personally do not mind it. It gives people incentive to freeze a bit of their holdings for Energy (mostly), which they will earn small rewards on, contribute to voting which is currently mostly governed by whales, and overall stabilize the ecosystem. I already had a bit frozen on all my main wallets that I use on platforms so it wont directly effect me unless using sub-wallets. How is it effecting you guys?

It sounds ok and fine now, but if TRX price goes up by few multiples, it's gonna be the same shitshow as with ETH. People will pay $5 for a $20 transfer, which is silly.
If they have a mechanism to regulate the fee however, it might be ok

It's simple arithmetic, whenever a altcoin surge up in price the gas fee will also increase too, as a matter of fact if Tron reach a new ATH we will be paying more for gas fee, probably from 0.20$ to 1$ is possible, that's just the way it is with crypto projects and right now price are back to normal since bitcoin dumped back to 16,000$

Considering how tron has become popular lately with the low gas fees about 1 trx per transaction, increasing the transaction fee to x4 might hurt some people out there, but if increasing the transaction fee to x4 will do more good to tron than bad, then I don't mind if the transaction is increased, after all the gas fee is pretty low right now, which is the main reason why alot of people prefer using it tron for their daily transactions.

Changing the transaction fee to be 4x more expensive, that means it will make transactions confirmed faster too, right? If that is the case, it doesn't matter to me because the current transaction fees are still very cheap for TRON, and Tron's prices are also very cheap.

Same thing I wanted to ask  , cause tron is already fast it takes about a few seconds for transactions to be confirmed, so maybe increasing the fee might make it become instant confirmation.

I use tron wallet to freeze my TRX and i get small rewards for voting there. Tron network fees increased but not 4x than past. I have made few transactions yesterday but fees was very small where ethereum transaction fees is much in ETH network.. I am satisfied using TRON wallet.

I dont think it is fair to call it an overhyped shitcoin, when it is clearly the more efficient way to setup DeFi platforms. Unless you are dealing with thousands of dollars per transaction, then ETH is far too expensive to use as your dollars in fees per transaction. TRX you can have free transactions if you freeze enough and if not, at worst, the transactions cost me 8/9 trx (under 30 cents) if I do too many. Its a no brainer for me effiency wise. Thats why platforms like Forsage etc moved from ETH to TRX.

[orengitu]

Is not only tron transaction fee that is higher, for like months ago now the transaction fee of the ethereum is going higher to the extent that sometimes the transaction fee will be equal to the eth you want to send that's y most people were using tron, but recently tron transactions too were very high even though is better now but is still high. The reason in the increment of gas fee is due to the surge in Altcoin price. For now I think tron wallet is better.

[TheBunting43]

He is now deciding to up the transfer fees on the TRX network, but those fees get shared between the SRs (Super Representatives) and TRX Freezers. Another incentive for people to freeze their Tron, to avoid these problems...

[Shasha80]

It's not a big problem if Tron's transaction fees go up by 4X, because from the start, Tron's fees are very cheap.
It's still very expensive transaction fees using Ethereum, so Tron is still very much in demand these days. I also
don't mind the increasing cost of Tron, considering it's still very cheap and highly recommends using Tron to send funds.
