I have $74 and I need the money and would like to send it to our local exchange I expect at least a $10 transaction fee on blockchain but got a big surprise when Blockchain is charging 0.00112176 BTC $53.74 I would end up sending only $20, this is to bad when you want to trade a small amount and you want to trade right away I will have a few hours or day before I can trade it.

bitcoin and ethereum has a very high transactions fees now
i think its better to exchange your bitcoin to tron or doge first, then after that you can send it to your local exchange with low fee my friend

Adoption problems. Ridiculous fees by exchanges. Even you need money, better just think of another way.

Electrum default fees are BTC0.0002-0.0003. I don't see why that Exchange is asking higher than usual wherein the end, it's still slow to confirm.

I think what you're about to send has a lot of inputs and that's why you're charged with that amount or I'm wrong. You can still adjust it but make sure you're going to set the fee based on the minimum sats/b that viabtc requires. In that case, you can use their accelerator.

use other coins if you want to transfer between exchanges. don't use bitcoin. I think it's common knowledge now. because the price of bitcoin is already very high, and that will certainly affect the transfer fee. so using coins with cheaper transfer fees is the best option. if it has been transferred you can sell and buy bitcoins back. There are many coins that are relatively stable which have cheap transfer fees such as Tron, Doge, Cardano and others.

That's terrible. But that has been the trend nowadays because of the price increase. The bull run has also brought up with it very high fees, even unreasonable in your case. 0.0011 BTC just as a fee is really ridiculous.

Can you make conversion within the platform? If you can, you better convert it first to an altcoin with low fee before sending. If you can't convert then you are left with no choice at all. I think your wallet does not allow you to customize fees. So you better just leave your funds there for now while the fees are very high.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum now have a higher USD transaction fee as they both are getting pumped. Check mempool.space before you transfer Bitcoin it gives the average transaction fee cost depending on the time frame. You can select a low fee if you want to wait for the transaction.

LOL.. not surprising because a few days back I paid $15 per transaction ($75 in total for 5 transactions, I already posted about it earlier). I have a feeling that the high fee is here to stay. The number of users are increasing at a steady pace. Now the user adoption has reached a new peak, as a result of the hype created by Elon Musk, Tesla and PayPal. But the block size remains at the same old level. So it is natural to have such high fee levels. Even earn.com is showing an average fee of 102 Sat/byte.

We've seen this already in 2017 where Bitcoin is surging higher and alongside with it are the fees.
Now 2021 and there is not that much difference on it and LN hasn't been used by many people.

Nothing surprising with this and knowing that Bitcoin's price is going high, for sure that the fees will go high too. Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing that problem too that is why I don't transfer that much when I'm using ETH or BTC. Just use other coins if you want to transfer.

It's no use trading with a small amount just like what we enjoy in the past, where we pay $1 for $50 for Bitcoin and $25 cents or even less for Ethereum, now what we are paying as fee are the ones we used to trade or cashout as small-time investors, it's time to look for alternatives there many of it here, one coin just got a big pumped.

I would have suggest you leave it till the gas fee reduce then i remember that the more btc price increases the more likely the gas fee will increase as well, it has been long since i made any btc transfer, my few btc are in lock and key (caged with the highest security  Cheesy) so i have lose touch of what is happening with trans fee in the btc network, am only battling with eth fees lately,
It is not fun that both the 2 most popular network and widely used have such high fees, forcing people to look at other network.

Not just bad for small amounts, but I will tell you that Ethereum charges me a $750 transaction fee for a $150 value token that I wanted to swap. And that is really really bad for us average joe because we can't do anything about it. It's supposedly a winning money for us, but how can we exchange it when Ethereum or Bitcoin fees are really off the roof right now.

If you are not in hurry, you can modify your fee. A week ago i send 20$ worth of Bitcoin only with 0.4$ fee and its not so long, its relatively toleratable.
I set 9 vsat/byte in the setting at that time, reference by : https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/fee-calculator/

for some platforms, I think there is no way to set transaction fees. and most do have high fees such as the fees on each exchange that do increase. I myself also didn't make BTC withdrawals and prefer to withdraw them in other altcoins that have friendlier transaction fees.

Increased transaction fee on ethereum and Bitcoin blockchain seems like the new normal. You can either wait for a reduction by trying again later or use a lesser fee which could make the transaction take a longer duration to complete.

maybe you are a big trader, so seeing the increase in the cost of eth or btc gas is currently considered reasonable, even though when compared to 2017/2018 when the bullrun market came, some cryptos experienced an increase like the current situation, especially btc and other top altcoins. it's just that the current increase in gas when compared to the increase in 2018 is clearly different, the current shipping costs are really crazy, bro

I believe it's the exchange, bitcoin transaction fees is that high, anyone just sent out a bitcoin transaction should verify this, sending 75$ with 10$ on bitcoin wallet? That's a big ripoff, I'm sure it's the exchange, OP do you mind sharing the name of the exchange? There are unforgiving exchanges like that

I have $74 and I need the money and would like to send it to our local exchange I expect at least a $10 transaction fee on blockchain but got a big surprise when Blockchain is charging 0.00112176 BTC $53.74 I would end up sending only $20, this is to bad when you want to trade a small amount and you want to trade right away I will have a few hours or day before I can trade it.

First of all, understand how the transaction fees are calculated and it will be cheaper when you make one input and one output transaction, it will keep increasing along with the increase in number. It seems you are about to send your signature campaign earnings which you received as multiple inputs which needs to be consolidated before the actual spend if you want the cheapest fee as possible. But right now the recommended fee for bitcoin transaction is over 140sat/vbyte so either you need to wait until the weekend and check the fee later.

bitcoin and ethereum has a very high transactions fees now
i think its better to exchange your bitcoin to tron or doge first, then after that you can send it to your local exchange with low fee my friend
regards
how do you swap your Bitcoin or Ethereum to DOGE or Tron? because I think we need an exchange to swap, so it's the same because we have to send our Bitcoin or Ethereum to exchange with expensive gas fees too or is there another way to swap without using an exchange? if there is another way, can you tell me how to do it, because I also feel burdened with gas fees from Bitcoin and Ethereum at this time (very expensive).
