just asking if you think if the fee on MtGox is too high.
i think its very high, and also thinks that MtGox is earning alot of eazy btc on it.
it might not be so high that it is a problem for you.
but i think MtGox should not take so much for it.
every time ther is traded 100 btc they earn 0.65 btc.
and there has been trading for around 96461 the last 2 days. it gives them 626 btc in fees in the last 2 days.
i dont like that! i think the fee should be around 0.05% its more fair. (it gives them a ~48.25btc/2day)
i know that its their choose, free market and all that stuff.
what do you think?

my basic rule is that if i think a fee for anything is too high, i don't participate.
and i never get emotional about it. life's too short to get angry at anything that isn't trying to kill you - which is, itself, a poor idea...

The fee CANNOT be too high, because if it was, the market would react.

I'm beginning to hear this more and more, but if people are so unhappy with it, they should move to other exchanges. Start posting up more bids/asks on other exchanges and TRY to be more active in those other exchanges by constantly updating your bid/ask prices to reflect current going market rates and that will encourage other people to join other exchanges as well.
MtGox has a monopoly on the exchange market. Let's change that. Not because I don't like MtGox, but because competition is a very healthy thing for a market/industry/economy.

No, it has not. The fees didn't exist that entire time. The fees were instituted because the founder of Mtgox got burned by a scammer using a stolen paypal account. The fees were started just to recover that loss, which I'm sure has long since been repaid; but the current owner isn't that founder at all. If another market starts up with lower fees, some people will use it. This will force Mtgox to respond if the new market is comparable. There are other markets, I just don't use them because I don't like them. |

For what MtGox has done for bitcoin, they are underpaid.

so, if you all think, the fee is 100% earnings, you must also think, MtGox operates for free,
the owner works for free, support is free, servers are free, DDoS protection is free, that all doesnt cost a dime, huh?
like others said, if you don't like it, don't use it,
there's other exchanges with lower, or no fees at all, use those,
or create a new exchange with lower/no fees, try to compete.

The reality is, there is not a single direct competitor to MtGox, at least for USD. The other markets only fill specific niches. I'd love to see someone make a DIRECT competitor to MtGox.

i already am. its not because of greed. its because i don't think its good for the economy that 10 people is sitting on 90% of the money(over estimate). i think they should have many coins, but not as much as they have now. |
