This is my thought on your "possible idea" in reducing or taking the transaction fee aside. So, you're saying that we should pass our own private key to people that you don't know, or trust? Really? Do you think that it is a good idea for people? No, what if that person steal your funds? This is a cryptocurrency world bro, stop imagining something that is impossible.

When are you going to send me the keys to your house. I need a place to live.
Home girl, I was mining years before you ever heard about bitcoin. It costs a hell of a lot of money to buy equipment and today it’s incredibly difficult to ROI. Finding a cryptographic hash with an ever increasing difficulty is crazy stressful on equipment. Miners have a big investment in equipment that will not last long.
Mining was never intended to be a free service. Originally, the block reward was the payment for mining and was expected to eventually be replaced by mining fees. IF bitcoin use grows large enough and IF the fees can be spread among enough users the fee will come down but it will never be free. Bitcoin is not and will never be a free service.
Little boy racer i was aware of BTC when it was trading at a mere $0.15 and if you go back to the white paper then you would see the term "Virtually free" when it came to transactions costs and $40+ is anything but that. Your in a race to compete for a prize with all this hardware you have that is offering next to nothing of any use to me Lets do the sums between us Max transactions per second = 7 Average packet size (inputs, outputs) = 250 bytes 250 * 7 * 8 =14Kbs "Bitcoin is not and will never be a free service" You will want it priced in bits next instead of bytes so pop outside, rev the boy racer without driving anywhere and wait for a big guys from "Green Peace" has a few words with you. "IF the fees can be spread among enough users the fee will come down" So are you saying that at the beginning of the year when fees were near zero that we had less users than we have today ? Tell me, what you smoking because i want some and the chances are that i was cutting code before you even started school

Transaction fees is going crazy and lighting network is the only solution to it otherwise bitcoin will flop
I agree with this. This is the way we should follow. If anyone here thinks that bitcoin (or any other crypto for that matter) will be able to grow forever to meet network processing requirements of on-chain transactions - you are dead wrong. More users ->higher adoption ->more transactions -> congestion of the network = there is no feasible solution for this except making block bigger - and this is not something we can do.

Here's a related idea. How about a hardware wallet with a menu option to create a new key? Lets say you wanted to buy something big, like a house. You load up equivilent of 60000 onto it, (you and the seller would have to agree on a price in BTC beforehand) you sign all your contracts with the seller then you hand it to them, and they push the button to create new keys, and they now have the whole wallet, and the buyer could only get the keys if they had the hardware wallet, which they no longer do.

The facts and numbers to you must be more like "Hate Speech" surly and now all you have left is insults and hot air but miners have lots of that due to over clocking the GPU's and then having to cool them down so I won't take it personal anyway Nice signature i see but should it not read "Anything that is not BTC is a Ponzi scam, trust me I am here to defend the faith

If anyone here thinks that bitcoin (or any other crypto for that matter) will be able to grow forever to meet network processing requirements of on-chain transactions - you are dead wrong.
The block-chain is the problem and that's without mining (Revving engine with car out of gear) " (or any other crypto for that matter) " Would you agree that VISA uses digital money that uses encryption for security and would you also agree that VISA can process 25,000 transactions a second and they do all this with hundreds of time less processing power than the BTC network has at its disposal ? VISA is also decentralized to some degree or else I am sure ISIS or a power cut would had taken it down by now and yes I am aware that CryproKittie nearly took the ETH network down but again, what would you expect when its using block-chain even if it is version two. Maybe i have helped you to answer your own question here.

It's a very roundabout way of trading, and is probably completely impossible unless you're willing to change how the entire technology works. You'll still have to transfer at some point because you'd want to transfer exact amounts.
Yeah very transaction have an equivalent charge cost, the charge cost its depends how much the amount transfering. I don't even think that people transferring to their other addresses is the problem. It's the exchanges. They contribute to most of the traffic. I'm sure it would make a world of a difference if they all opt into Segwit. Your solution won't work with exchanges either since they don't let people see the private keys. [/quote] Yes sometimes transfering of fund into another exchange causing a problem or traffic but i think it is due to multiful transactinon from different country.

Instead of moving bitcoin between wallets, what's stopping people from trading wallets? I've been following bitcoin since 2013 and though I have not had much experience with wallets, I know that each wallet has a private key that opens it. What's stopping bitcoin development from creating wallets with set amounts of bitcoin in them and allowing them to be traded? this is basically a money transfer system known as "hawala" where funds are transferred among parties without actual movement of money. there's nothing wrong with this premise. in fact, it's the underlying idea behind opendime: OPENDIME – World's First Bitcoin Credit Stick Wallet The 1st Bitcoin Bearer Bond or just call it a "Bitcoin Stick". Opendime is a small USB stick that allows you to spend Bitcoin like a dollar bill. Pass it along multiple times. Connect to any USB to check balance. Unseal anytime to spend online. Trust no one. In terms of people writing down the private key, when a wallet is traded can't there be a new key generated for it? And so instead of trading bitcoin between wallets, people could trade wallets and reduce the strain on the blockchain and potentially lower fees of transferring bitcoin between people.
this is a tricky problem. generating a new key and sweeping the funds to it incurs miner fees. opendime has created an interesting solution. the USB wallet device is disposable and must be physically broken in order to spend any funds kept on it. as long as the device is intact, you can check the balance and use it for trading.

Shit that sounds so crazy it just might work My current line of thinking is that yes we need a type of "Money network" that will work like a type of recorded post system but it does not know anything about whats inside the letter, only that something was sent digitally and received in case of disputes and also deals with routeing. That's the easy part and is KISS and you seem like an educated person and will have to work with me if you would like to know more but it does include, as much as i would like not too, trusted 3rd parties that are anomalous entitles that get voted out the system if they cannot behave themselves, much like what happens already today on networks. Will peg the post and check for reply tomorrow

Thanks guys, this is the direction I was looking for
Not a change to the way bitcoin works. Everything stays the same, segwit, LN and all. But a change in the way normal transactions for everyday purchases can be handled.
Let's call bitcoin wallets coins. You can store fractions of bitcoin in these coins, you can send any amount of these coins in a letter system just as anti-cen explained. All backed by encryption and whatnot. All decentralized as a system could allow multiple wallets to be created to handle the new "coins"
I have been coding for a few years but have not stepped in cryptos yet. If you want to know more about my idea pm me and we can talk. Otherwise continue the expansion of thought, I'm loving it!

The cost of moving bitcoin from one wallet to another has exponentially grown to an unacceptable amount in the past year. We've all seen this trend and to normal people it is very concerning in terms of adoption and use. Over a long period of time an idea came to me that made sense and though I don't have the resources or knowledge to implement it I needed to share it to get some discussion going.
Instead of moving bitcoin between wallets, what's stopping people from trading wallets? I've been following bitcoin since 2013 and though I have not had much experience with wallets, I know that each wallet has a private key that opens it. What's stopping bitcoin development from creating wallets with set amounts of bitcoin in them and allowing them to be traded? In terms of people writing down the private key, when a wallet is traded can't there be a new key generated for it? And so instead of trading bitcoin between wallets, people could trade wallets and reduce the strain on the blockchain and potentially lower fees of transferring bitcoin between people.
I didn't know where else to post this so maybe someone can point me in the right direction or share thoughts on this idea. I'm sure it's come up before.
Transaction cost is part of bitcoin when bitcoin rising you earn some profie and must pay high fee. today price down and also fee down it is justify and possible

Your wallet address is (probably) your identity to prove that it's you (in case it's needed to sign a message - take an example of staking addresses here). Would you be willing to sell your identity? It'll completely change the way the protocol is implemented to work the way out. Trading (as in here, giving) your address' private key to someone will surely save the fees, but is prone to vulnerable issues like getting your wallet(s) hacked in future in case you ever had any of those addresses in a "wallet".

It's not a possible fix to the question of how to securely send payment from peer to peer over a trustless network. What you're effectively suggesting is that people share access - and you must know that security of your Bitcoin begins first with ensuring that the owner is the only one with control i.e., the only one in possession of the private key.
How do you also exchange wallets of specific amounts? Keep a set of wallets in small denominations? You'd still have to create transactions to split your coins up like that. And, once more than one person has the private key, outside of multi-sig, there's no way to prevent any of the owners from spending those Bitcoins. Sweeping also requires transacting.
Can't be avoided, OP.

To buwaytress, when someone unlocks the real private key with the private key stored in their new wallet(aka transfer coins to traditional bitcoin wallets) that coin effectively becomes a wallet and would be removed from the new wallet, thus preventing people from trading coins(wallets) they actually have the private keys to. The system would make things simple so that people wouldn't even see the keys to the keys of their coins. It would only tell them how much they have because simplicity is what the world needs to adopt something as abstract as bitcoin. There would be an option to transfer coins to wallets but is irreversible unless they sent the bitcoin back into a coin which would be a process people can also do on their own.
Yes it would require transactions into the coins firsthand but I see multiple benefits to this solution. I would argue that a bitcoin that could be securely traded off of the blockchain nearly instantly for free would be worth much more than a traditional bitcoin that costs money and requires the internet and time to transfer. Almost to the point where it would be worth the price to make these coins. This would also leave the blockchain as its own entity which lets the exchanges, miners, and holders continue to do what they do which I see as a huge benefit to the ecosystem.
And yes wallet addresses prove identity but nothing is stopping anyone from making as many wallets as they want so can that be considered a valid measure of identity? whereas a new type of wallet added on top of the old wallet could use multiple wallets to add value to the entire system.
What is the number? Something like 30-40% of bitcoins are effectively lost? When that number grows it could spread to everyone losing their bitcoin, and then what? Those bitcoins are just sitting there. I'd propose you create the system as I've written, spread the news on major news sites that you have to put your regular wallet ID on the bitcoin website. After some 2-5 years take all non marked bitcoin wallets and throw it in the fund to create the liquid system to give people an option to traditionally barter with bitcoin. All the lost bitcoin would effectively return to the miners and flood back into the system. This is needed because at most there can only be 21 million bitcoin. 210 trillion satoshi. That amount pales in comparison to the worlds actual money in circulation. If bitcoin was serious about being a real currency something must be done to hold onto as much as possible because regular systems can just print more, bitcoin can't without changing the whole system. And while it can be seen as a positive aspect of the currency, it could ultimately lead to bitcoin's downfall.
And who would own the new coins that are created to start the system? Well, nobody. The coins made(less than what would have to be given to the miners to make the coins) could be used to create a Change system. Let's say someone has .23BTC in the form of .2BTC and .03BTC. The transaction will cost them .18BTC. They can't make the exact transaction. But if their current keys could be changed so they hold .18 and .05, they could make the transaction. This would require atleast 1 party to be connected to the internet but it is possible as the change system could exchange wallets for wallets of the same value as the keys would just change but the user would have no knowledge of this as they don't care what's really going on. As long as it's accurate and secure. To make this process easier coins would have to be divided into actual segments and not just crazy .1263957294. And you could argue that that would ruin buying things with an exact whatever currency to bitcoin price but the system should be designed for purchases in bitcoin, not in what came before it. this plan would take years to make, and then years to implement but I think it could be worth it
Thanks for the feedback!! There is a lot of little details that I haven't explained. It will probably take awhile to get it all out here. more thoughts!!
