What to do when trying to send such small amounts of money using electrum.

Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to hold off and hope that the mempool decreases over the next few days/weeks. Otherwise, I was able to make a transaction yesterday for $150 for about $7 in fees (at 210 sat/byte). Still higher than I'm used to (100-150 sat/byte), but not bad considering that a lot of others have been paying much higher fees. I got 3 confirmations within an hour.

My transaction for reference: https://blockchain.info/tx/4a47a39ae0a667e1dd050a4e206519dd78b606c9bd022acef62901c5fc0f1b17

You can also go with a lower miners fee that are recommended and hope that the transaction would be confirmed. It has worked for me in the past, but it is not recommended if you are in a hurry to get your money transfered or if you have to pay for something.

Must be trading or something?? WHat gives?

I set my miner fee's to zero, run bitcoin-cli to do the transaction and move 0.001, which is what $15?, and there are no fee's, I suspect the biggest problem is people are using exchanges, or traders are letting their trading-house expedite the fee, your transaction will always eventually get through, U can transfer for zero fee, if you patient

Then again, if your day-trading BTC, then please pay $30 USD feed for that $100 trade, and let's clean the house of all these day traders

If your day-trading BTC, then you deserve to get screwed and pay 30% transaction fee's for your nickel trades, the exchanges and miners getting these fee's are laughing their asses off in china

Remember all fee's go to miners, and all miners are in china
