What Frustrates You Most When Using Bitcoin?

[calkob]

What is the most Frustrating/Annoying thing that you come up against each time you use/but/sell bitcoins?

Do you think it will it ever be fixed?

The increasing transaction fees is starting to get abit concerning, lets just get some scaling already.....

Today's keyword is "frustration" greatest fear my a*s there is no need to copy paste or check addresses few times only check 2 first and 2 last digits to make sure. what truly makes me mad or frustrated? when I send bitcoin to buy online and they refund me saying you didn't send in time and because of the price fluctuations the amount received was less than what we are selling our product.

Depositing usd to exchanges to buy coins is what frustrates me, it takes so many days lol. other than that nothing frustrates me.

ATMs are way faster than that, and you aren't going to lose your anonymity which makes it even better. You should have some ATMs near you, at least one, that sells Bitcoin.

I've never used a Bitcoin ATM because I don't have any where I live, but what I heard is that they charge a lot, from 6% to 8% and sometimes even more than that, so that's why people prefer to use exchanges, where fees range from 0.2% to 3% max.

Well, I'm very frustrated with btc last days, I'm paying 0.0005 fee (around 0,5usd) for a 24usd transaction and still need to wait around 6~8hours everyday...

That's a lot. My transactions confirm in an hour, sometimes it takes a bit longer, but with a large fee like yours it should be a lot faster than 6 hours.
I agree with you that the fees are getting too high, but the confirmation times haven't changed, at least for me.

[makeholer]

It's very unstable, sometimes it confirm in 2 minutes, sometimes in 8 hours, im not sure what's going on, maybe the time of the day, dont know... I'm about to start paying 1~2usd fee, because i really need the transaction to finish fast...

Yes like many people here I am also getting frustration with the time taken for getting confirmations for my transactions. Today I transfer some bitcoins from my wallet but it got stuck without confirmations for more than five hours still now. I just worry about when will the block size problem will get over and we will be having hassle free experience with bitcoin payment system.

The transaction is relaying in the transaction size and if you have transaction above 1kb you should paying the fee with good amount so that the transaction speed wont be too long to sent...
The problem right now i hope that they can added a feature like they can know first the transaction size before they can set the transaction fee and send.. so that no one can experience of delay unless if they do it manually..

Confirmation time, and fees are approaching to high values in the near future

[olushakes]

The transaction fee is going on the high side and that's a bit of concern and the frustrating thing about that is there is nothing we can do about it. Another thing again is amount of time transactions take to confirm this has been an issue as an amount will appear in your wallet without necessarily belongs to you which will take several hours which could be a luxury in the of emergency.

What frustrates me the most when I"m paying with bitcoin is myself and the fact that I didnt keep thoose btc cause value will only rise in the near and the far future so basically I just gave away free money to someone. 1 btc today equals 1000 usd and that same 1 btc "tomorow" 1500+usd

When the blockchain gets spammed and there are 75k unconfirmed transactions like last weekend and it takes forever to get a payment done or use a ridiculously high fee. Also I'm not a fan of POW it is a useless use of hardware and energy and only people with money for expensive mining rigs are profiting from the POW system.

First time I was deal with bitcoin I was very excited and I was thinking that all things as far as it concerns the monetary system were solved; the only difficulty would be the adoption of many people so as to be an everyday payment system. After a while, I realized the process of bitcoin transactions which depends from network confirmation. So, I understood that debate in scaling and the increased fees will be the everyday reality where I have to face it until a solution. All of these are so different from anything I had lived so as many times I feel that anyone join in bitcoin ecosystem lives in a parallel world compared with fiat money.

As of now we cant do anything about those unconfirmed spam transactions on the network and the best thing for now is just wait until miners do their jobs.I dont know whats the reason on those spam tx but same as your and other people here this is the one sometimes that really pisses me off.

so far nothing makes me feel frustrated or annoyed while buying or either selling bitcoin but what makes me feel annoyed is that when I am sending or transferring bitcoin to my other wallet especially when I really need to have money as soon as possible, I am sometimes annoyed because of waiting and sometime it makes me worried about the bitcoin wallet that I have inputted .

I guess current confirmation times piss me off, well until I realised that you have to send a higher than average fee unless you want to wait hours.

The block size debate annoys me too, the price could be so much higher now if people would just sit down & agree.

Like You, I don't enjoy waiting for hours for Transactions confirmation. These days , getting the required three confirmations are a pain in the ass. Currently, If I intend to Send bitcoin urgently to my other account/wallet elsewhere, I make the transactions hours before the set time to overcome confirmation issue as I don't like "bribing" Miners.


I just hope This ends soon.

One thing that frustrates me the most is that online sites do not
Accept bitcoin.
I first have to download different apps then buy vouchers of that online shopping site.
Then I can buy something with bitcoin.
Also that voucher should be in stock.
That is a different problem.

[CraigWrightBTC]

Confirmation time on some transactions..

That is same with me and right now the fees transaction is increasing,
actually i don't have problem with fees if the profit is high from trading.
But it is problem if the profit is just small because not every trading getting high profit.

Really if you are in hurry to complete any deal and waiting time for transaction is really make one  pissed off. There is should be a timer so as people know how much more time left in confirmations. Waiting for confirmation and not knowing how long will it take makes its more frustration and unbearable sometimes.
