$0.85 transaction fee is absolutely ridiculous!

[QuestionAuthority]

Am I the only one who realizes that the ~ $ 1 charge for doing a transaction is completely insane and defeats one of the major benefits of bitcoin use for daily transactions.

It's going crazy and completely unwarranted, or am I wrong?

Now that’s something you don’t see every day.

Why did you duplicate the OPs post almost word for word? LOL

Poorly designed bot I guess. I went through few of its latest posts, it's all the same.

This thread was made months back when fee used to be around $0.50 usually. It's a blessing now if bitcoin transaction gets confirmed even with $5 fee. This is why some say that Bitcoin Cash is the real bitcoin (and to some extent, I agree with that too, just except for the problem of centralized mining of BCH). However, the next upgrade to the system of original bitcoin should be enough to get rid of these huge fees.

You can stop the FUD, fees have been much lower for quite a while now.
Example: last week I paid 0.53 USD for a transaction with 4 inputs (730 bytes). It confirmed in 12 minutes. The same block included a transaction with 0.05 USD fee.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. For the last week or so I’ve been doing transactions from $.50-$.75.

Am I the only one realizing that ~$1 fee to make a transaction is absolutely insane and defeats one of the core benefits of using bitcoin for daily transactions.

This is getting insane and is completely uncalled for, or am I wrong?

Imagine the price of transaction fees compared to this post. Less than a dollar for a transaction? Compare it pricing today at around $10 per transaction depending on the volume. Considering this, I wish we just had that $1.00 transaction fee. We need it badly this time around.

Oh great Karhu, please grant me patience to deal with guys like this....

Dear BlackRacerX, have you:

a) sent a BTC tx this week?
b) have you checked the fees on https://estimatefee.com/ or even better https://coinb.in/#fees ?
c) have you checked what tx are getting  confirmed right now? Block 508929?
d) have you read what just above you QuestionAuthority and LoyceV have posted?

If yes, then why, why did post this?
If not, why, why haven't you checked those before posting?

Don't be ridiculous mate. As the price of bitcoin increases the value of fee's also increases. Don't be so dumb that the fee will stay the same with the bitcoin price continue to surpass its limits

Your right, one of the reason why the price of bitcoin is continuously growing because more and more people are engaging into bitcoin everyday, which means that more and more people are making different transactions through bitcoin. These leads to higher transactions fees because of the traffic or I don't know what you call it in the blockchain technology but the point is the community is continuously growing as well as the fees.

It's $1.50 to $1.80 to send $2500-$3000 TODAY and that's awesome.   And it's been awesome (again) for around a month now. 

[Dabs]

I sent three transactions this week with a fee of $0.09 USD. All of them confirmed within 1 to 17 minutes. The value of the transfer is irrelevant, but they were all above a few thousand USD.

This is cute. Compared to transaction fees today? This is just child's play. How I wish we didn't take for granted this kind of transaction fees before and just transferred a lot of bitcoins from then on out. But then again, bitcoin prices have then rose from that date to now.

I am really seeing is that it's becoming impossible to make smaller transactions for daily purchases. At this point, we can forget about using bitcoin as an everyday currency because it's cheaper to buy things like a cup of coffee with a debit card or cash.  Everyone else pays for your free transaction.  And wait till the bailouts for banks come again.  Come back and tell us how the transfer is still free or ask the cypress bank account holders how their free transfers worked for them.  I had to use the accelerator but would you imagine if everyone lowered the fees they're paying and massively started using accelerators. That doesn't have to be all that bad, maybe that will get miners to lower the fees and maybe it will just clog the blockchain even more.

$0.85 is not that much, most of my recent txs were above $1, and it could go way higher if your tx is of large size.

You're not the only one having a problem with this. Some want to increase max block size to reduce confirmation/fees, some want to push most txs off-chain (Lightning Network/Sidechains).

But don't expect changes anytime soon.

Yes, $0.85 till $1 is not much on that time but now you will be more surprise about the charge fee of sending bitcoin.
However, it can not bitcoin anyway, the supporter still stay strong in the back to support bitcoin
