Maybe if those who rarely make bitcoin transactions temporarily stop bitcoin transactions it won't be a problem. But for those of us who do bitcoin transactions every day, this is really unavoidable and we still have to use it even at high fees.
The solution I use is to keep transactions as low as possible at a reasonable limit and use paid acceleration. But if you have no interest in an urgent bitcoin transaction then well waiting and being patient until the hype dies down is a good thing.
Topic: Delay your Bitcoin transaction for this week| Volunteer campaign (Read 481 times)
I'm also in the crowd that says this is a bad idea. We already have morons from Ethereum Twitter calling for boycott of the Bitcoin network to support Ordinals (whatever that degenerate call for action means), so this is only going to help them.
For how long? I don't see this going away unless ordinal is done for, and that's never going to happen any soon, if ordinal is up and running there will always be higher transaction fees to be paid for sending Bitcoin on the network, do not expect this to be going away any time sooner. I will be using Bitcoin to move money around only when the amount I got is good enough for the transaction fee, for now, I quit.
Due to the raise in bitcoin transactions fees,most of the signature campaign are struggling to pay their participants.It doesn’t mean they are scammers,they are hard to afford the fees.For each participant they are forced to pay 5$ as minimum fee.If the campaign had 10 participants,the transaction fee will be 50$ which is additional burden to them.For the faster transaction of the bitcoin,the fee will be ten dollars minimum.So to pay they are forced to pay 100 dollars which is not the needed one for the project team.In addition,most of the transaction was not confirmed and delaying a lot.
at least postpone all your bitcoin transactions for this week, including a call to all signature campaigns and your friends to postpone payment for this week for several days.
As much as I appreciate the initiative, you're basically asking to stop using Bitcoin as a payment system. That's not good. The message shouldn't be that signature campaigns can't be paid because of transaction fees.That being said: I always try to avoid making on-chain Bitcoin payments when fees are high
Yes agreed. I mean I guess there was a major spam attack on Bitcoin like yesterday and the day before as fees were very high and they've got back down a lot now. When that sort of thing happens most people should just delay their transactions for a few days. Most people aren't using bitcoin to buy things, but rather just move money around to exchanges or off exchanges or whatever so just wait a few days to do it.
Delay of transaction is the only way out from this high transaction fee due to BRC-20 token that was added to bitcoin block chain causing ordinals attack on the block chain. I have also thought of a way on how to play safe,so that I don't pay a high fee when making any transaction,itis to delay all transactions till the fee becomes normal again. This is the time that we should forget about our bitcoin and use fiat for any transaction that we want to do. The banks transactions wouldn't be as high as this and wouldn't waste much time,the only thing is that banks are centralized system and will always poke their nose into every transaction made by their customers.
I agree that postpone transactions is the best to do now. Fees are really crazy.
I don’t really know if their will be better solution than this, if you think postponing the transitions till the transition fee drop is the best solution, we don’t know how long it will take before the transition fee will drop, so even if it will take like two - three months before the transaction fee will drop do you mean we should just postpone our transaction? I don’t think that’s the best option but I don’t know if their is any alternative or we just have to be spending this crazy amounts on transaction fee. Am not seeing any sign that the transaction fee is going to reduce anytime soon and It’s really affecting us.
I fully support this volunteer campaign. and will be delaying all my potential transactions for at least 15 days.. but i think more and more people need to be aware of this out side this forum. because the reall mass transaction and high fee is caused by all those BRC20 and Ordinals tokens. I don't think most of them are using forum. so we need to spread the word out side the forum to get more and more support to this volunteer campaign.. otherwise there is nothing much can be done.
I don't understand what's the point of this campaign? it depends on each user whenever they willing to pay high fee or not, you can't generalize everyone need to hold their coins in this week. Losing $20 only for transactions fee can't be accepted by most people, but what if there are some people willing to pay it because they hold million $$$ and they see $20 is just a peanut for them? Are there any disadvantages or detriments that comes with using free bitcoin accelerator to accelerate pending transactions?
The only disadvantage to accelerate your transaction it would harm your privacy. I agree that postpone transactions is the best to do now. Fees are really crazy.
Until this ordinals crazy ends, there isn't much we can do. Fees are already better than when you posted.
I have created this api which always shows the updated recommened fees

One can just copy the transaction hash and boost it up with the accelerators but it will take couple of four hours, I am not so sure but I really got a message from a friend who did to hasten his transaction that's been pending since saturday.
Fees can be high and one would want to transact that way still, but having pending transactions for days sucks, I'd be happy if it doesn't brings panicking because I was to a level.
We all know the problem of the recent high bitcoin fees and because we can't do much, at least postpone all your bitcoin transactions for this week, including a call to all signature campaigns and your friends to postpone payment for this week for several days.

Well this year I never made one transaction for Bitcoin, because I always hodl till the next bull run ended. It's crazy seeing many whales moving their Bitcoin made the fees grow up and also this year Bitcoin movements are really volatile due to many whales moving their holding that making fear to traders.
Well since I'm holding for the long term I'm just going to buy more since right now the price is at a discount...

As an intention it is not bad, but the OP is asking people to stop doing what many have already stopped doing.
The problem with mempool congestion is not people on the forum sending $20 transactions, it's people spamming images on it and paying high fees for it.
It's like setting up a volunteer campaign to get umbrellas when it rains.

Lucky with participants joining signature campaign trough exchange Bitcoin address and they not spent for paying higher fees sending to exchange or try to withdraw bitcoin assets to be cash. Last two weeks sending Bitcoin still not stable or back normal because each transaction take above $5 and still slow process with two option more take time for delay or transaction will be failed and we loss fees.
For Bitcoin miner right now is their time because earn higher reward with their mining due bitcoin fees still up, can't predicting when fees for sending bitcoin back to normal and for signature campaign participants get payment on time without delay. Have planning with several campaign manager will distribution reward each two weeks how to minimalize with fees sending transaction. I don't sure upcoming two weeks later when payment time will have lower fees transaction.

Even an attack on the BRC-20 token won't actually work; have you forgotten that even with the high ETH fee back then, NFT worth millions of dollars were hijacked? What happened is that people just kept on moving their assets to a newer wallet, which they thought was more protective, keeping the network busy, and the fee still continues. I think the only solution here is that, whatever method those developers used in implementing BRC-20, validators should also look for a way to stop that from happening. If the BRC-20 tokens can be completely shut down, I think we will see back our old and regular fee as it used to be.
True there were many cases of hack in NFT, yeah it's still not stop, but in this year the NFT hype is decreasing. Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT was really booming in the last year, but I don't heard it anymore in this year and I've check on Opensea, some people willing to sold their NFT in cheaper.Validators aka miners will not want to stop it, people who trade BRC-20 tokens are really benefit for them.
Well, that is what I'm going to do, even though I need to sell some BTC for daily expenses. But I think I can hold on for now, so my money lasts longer and I don't have to sell my coins for now. Besides the fact fees are too expensive, we also have to keep in mind Bitcoin is cheap after the recent crash due to the fees, which dropped BTC from almost 30,000$ to 27,500$ right now. It seems interesting to wait the price to go upside again for profit maximization.
I think this kind of situation takes almost 2 weeks to cool down. Every 2 weeks, the fee for bitcoin transactions gets adjusted. I think it's already been a week, so I guess we have to wait for another week for it to cool down again.
I don't think this fee can actually go down just like that without anything being done. This fee didn't just go up ordinarily, so I don't think it will go down as well just like that. The more this BRC-20 token hype keeps on increasing, the more I believe we might even experience more of this high transaction fee in the coming days. I believe this fee will drastically go down once those BRC-20 tokens are no longer being produced. As long as blocks are being filled with useless APE pictures that actually have no real life value, the network will continue to be congested, which will give the miner enough work load.
i have the feeling that this hurdle won't take long. because if it is, then, people will think again about the viability of btc in the payment sector. this is not user friendly when it comes to transaction fees. miners are getting their benefits from this situation.
but seems that this won't take long. let's see.
People will think, people will talk, and in fact, most unbelievers and racists will definitely use this for their campaign against Bitcoin. But that won't change anything; Bitcoin adoption will continue, but the main purpose of Bitcoin is being gradually killed, which is its availability, to be used whenever, wherever, etc.
Miners will benefit from whatever they can lay their hands on; it is what it is. There is a saying, "It's where one works that they will feed from" . We all just have to prepare for the worst and, at the same time, hope for the best.

Will Bitcoin's high fees last for a week? I don't think this high transaction fee of Bitcoin will be sustainable for a week it may take much longer to come down. At the moment I am on a complete break from trading. Especially the payment that we receive weekly, it's been almost five days that our payment still hasn't entered our wallet. We are never worried about this many people are feeling worried in many ways. But I hope that soon Bitcoin transaction fees will be reduced and we will be able to transact normally with fees as before. Future solutions:

However, the Bitcoin network congestion is also the same as the Bitcoin price which heavily fluctuates we can't predict it.
I have this on my mind thinking that this BRC-20 doesn't have a direct effect on the Bitcoin price or market congestion, it might be the market manipulations or we've just had a mass adoption to choose Bitcoin transactions.
I also believe it doesn't have any high effect on the bitcoin price. But I will say otherwise on the transaction fee; even if it's as a result of mass adoption, the fee shouldn't be that high, and even if the fee gets as high as 200 SATs, it should also at least allow transactions to be processed on time with just a little delay.
It's true that we can't predict when all this will eventually stop, but I strongly believe, based on everything gathered both on this forum and aside from the search, that the transaction fee is an effect of the BRC-20. Who knows what will happen next if ORC's hype starts on its own? It's just a matter of time, and we should just hope any quick and possible solution is being provided for this before it eventually becomes part of us.

Bitcoin mempool gets full by exceeding its maximum size limit, just like it did two weeks before it was cleared, on October 30, 2020, spiking the median fees to a three-year high of $11.66 and leaving 145,000 transactions pending.

So it will come back to low fee soon. All we can do is just wait or use lightning network.

I mean there wasn't really any choice at this point, I don't really make a lot of transactions daily, and I already have some pending small transactions I can't really bump the fees because the transactions were just so small.
For sure the network is going to stabilize soon in my opinion this brc20 is just hype, for sure a lot of people just wanted to join this because it's a new thing on Bitcoin. But it wasn't guaranteed that they would make a profit on it, I think when the hype is over everything will go back to normal for sure. Also, this might be good for miners and even though it is a big problem bitcoin can always adjust to different problems.

Everyone is expressing concern over the recent high Bitcoin fees. I don't know how long the high bitcoin fees for bitcoin transactions will be a problem. Although we all know about the high fees of ethereum.But no one expected Bitcoin to pay high fees. But I like your idea very much. All Bitcoin users should follow this idea if they want to avoid high fees. Since we cannot do more than that, we should avoid transactions. But for those who are investing for a long time, the high fees may not have much impact.
In the meantime, it's better to refrain from sending bitcoins from one wallet to another.But if we are forced to do it because of an urgent situation that requires money, we still have to do it.
We need to be patient waiting for things to return to normal again and maybe we can observe when that time will come so that we can send bitcoins at not as high a fee as they are now.
This is where we learn to become investors with strong hands to hold onto bitcoin until things normalize again.
I don't think high fees only last for this week, as long as the hype on BRC-20 tokens is still happen, the fees would be like this and will not changed. We need a news where the hacker find a vulnerability on BRC-20 tokens or the creator of those tokens run with investors money.
I believe the BRC-20 tokens prominence is an indirect attack on the Bitcoin network. I think the hype is getting everyone really crazy and it's generating a lot of traction. It's just a matter of time before something happens and the BRC-20 tokens will die a natural death just as every other fake tokens. But before then, we need an immediate solution to address this crazy transaction fees.

I didn't make a transaction in signature campaigns I'm just trying to keep it in my wallet while I don't need it but I'm a doer doing DCA every week or every two weeks buying BTC from exchanges now applying a higher fee of 0.001 from Binance this will a little delayed I think it's a big amount but I'll be keeping a little on the exchange until the mempools normalize again to make lower withdrawals or wait for the Binance exchange to adopt the Lighting Network sometime soon.
I am not involved in brc20 tokens even though the profits are many times over, this is just a pump that is being manipulated by other investors so that others follow it but for me this will end soon.

I hope that the high fees won't last for weeks, of course it will burden those of us who often make transactions, the brc20 hype is still going on but I don't know when this hype will end, maybe it won't take that long to return to normal for bitcoin transactions.I am not involved in brc20 tokens even though the profits are many times over, this is just a pump that is being manipulated by other investors so that others follow it but for me this will end soon.

Even if all of us here stop spending, there’s no guarantee that the network will be less congested because there’s literally someone flooding it with dust transaction.
No guarantee indeed but if everybody thinks that way then don't expect a less congested network anytime soon. Not participating or adding more to the congestion problem like what the OP is suggesting is already helping in a way.Even if all of us here stop spending, there’s no guarantee that the network will be less congested because there’s literally someone flooding it with dust transaction.

I can't understand why BRC-20 has to be part of the ecosystem, while its presence doesn't add any improvements other than massively disrupting network traffic.
I guess it wasn't intended to be part of the Bitcoin ecosystem but someone found a "loophole" from the taproot upgrade to insert those tokens and then greed took over. I can't understand why BRC-20 has to be part of the ecosystem, while its presence doesn't add any improvements other than massively disrupting network traffic.

This is a good solution for those that don't depend on Bitcoin for daily business transactions. I know some businesses that are highly reliant on Bitcoin as a means of payment for imports. This will affect the business negatively. But for those that don't depend on bitcoin, there is no need to congest the Bitcoin network. This situation might also be designed by some forces to spread FUD. So we must do all we can to reduce the impact of their actions. This BRC-20 tokens hype will soon die down and the main pool will become free thereby leading to a drop in transaction fees. After all, this is not the first time such an attack is happening, bitcoin will surely overcome.

Good and perfect ideas, but we expect all these to soon end as solution will be engineered toward the issue of high transaction fee relating to ordinals, something of this has already happened in the past sometimes in 2017 whereby we gad a scenario similar to this
Technical solutions must be developed and supported by Bitcoin community and deployed it on Bitcoin blockchain. The current chaos comes from Taproot upgrade two years ago and now we will have to come to another upgrade to fix flaws in Taproot which is abused by Ordinals and BRC20 tokens.

Binance announced that they will support Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 capitalization is already about 1 billion. Do you really think this will be over soon enough? Of course we can try to send more rarely, but Ordinals already take much more than a half of all transactions in blocks. So it won't solve the problem. We can just postpone its solving this way. I'd say we should expect this horror to stay with us at least for months... unfortunately. At least we should be prepared to this.
It is a good plan or idea but what about those who are making transactions every day? In the forum user can suspend all transactions till further notice. What about traders? This high hike of fee is good with those who are investing for a very long period of time. They are not even bother to transfer any coins. But really this issue right now is affecting households, people are crying for survival. There are some people that want to make transactions that the fee is even higher than the unit of coins that they want to withdraw from their wallets. The whole stuff is mess up. People where not really expecting such to happen in the bitcoin blockchain .
It doesn't affect traders. If you trade you have your money on a centralized exchange so you aren't touching the blockchain unless the rare time when you move between exchanges.
Most people can delay their txs a few days no problem. Not many people use bitcoin for daily spending. And many people who do, do it by choice, and can also delay doing it for a few days. Of course there are always people who want to do a tx today and if they really badly want to do the tx today they will do it, but lots of people can delay without harm. The only real harm would be for perhaps those small areas in some third world countries who use bitcoin regularly (and aren't yet on LN) because they have to. Let's let them keep doing their transactions because they need to, while most other people can simply choose to wait a bit without any problems. For most people it won't matter if they make a transaction today or tomorrow or a week from now, and those people should volunteer to wait a few days. Heck the tx fees have already dropped from like $20-$30 yesterday to $6-$7 today so perhaps the worst part of the attack is already over.

Good and perfect ideas, but we expect all these to soon end as solution will be engineered toward the issue of high transaction fee relating to ordinals, something of this has already happened in the past sometimes in 2017 whereby we gad a scenario similar to this, but this got back as expected over time as solution was derived to tackle it, as lomg as the network is not at risk by this then i believe we are good to endure till the lasting solution arrives, we should always try to check the mempool before making any transaction in other to know the direction of where we are heading to whenever we want to make any payment transaction to avoid being disappointed or delayed.
Yes agreed. I mean I guess there was a major spam attack on Bitcoin like yesterday and the day before as fees were very high and they've got back down a lot now. When that sort of thing happens most people should just delay their transactions for a few days. Most people aren't using bitcoin to buy things, but rather just move money around to exchanges or off exchanges or whatever so just wait a few days to do it.
We should not just delay transactions for this weeks, but we should all delay these transactions until when necessary, that is if not still necessary in a week, wait for a longer time.
I agree that postpone transactions is the best to do now. Fees are really crazy.
If many people agree to postpone transactions, there will be less congestion for the few who really need to make transactions, the fees will reduce.
I wasn't planning to make any transactions at all anyway, but this is huge. The fees and the transaction time is insane now. I guess I'll wait for the week or two to buy some BTC, don't think it's gonna pump.
I don't think high fees only last for this week, as long as the hype on BRC-20 tokens is still happen, the fees would be like this and will not changed.

An attack with such fees can only last so long. Looks like the extreme fees from the past day or two are already going away as average fees seem to be now where they were for the past week rather than the past day or two. Still high a few times higher than normal of course, but the attack seems to be (hopefully) subsiding.
I don't think high fees only last for this week, as long as the hype on BRC-20 tokens is still happen, the fees would be like this and will not changed. We need a news where the hacker find a vulnerability on BRC-20 tokens or the creator of those tokens run with investors money. It will not stop 100% all people to not get involved in BRC-20 tokens, but it obviously the traffic will decrease and it would make the hype over.
I agree that postpone transactions is the best to do now. Fees are really crazy.
Until this ordinals crazy ends, there isn't much we can do. Fees are already better than when you posted.
Mempool began to look less deadly when waiting transactions with very expensive fee rates have been cleared gradually in the latest hours. Mempool is moving from red bands to yellow bands which are less expensive for us.Until this ordinals crazy ends, there isn't much we can do. Fees are already better than when you posted.
However I agree with you that we don't have reasons to move our bitcoins in these days and feed miners as well as the attacks on Bitcoin network. If many people do this, we can stop the attacks sooner and contribute to bring fee rates to new normality.

We all know the problem of the recent high bitcoin fees and because we can't do much, at least postpone all your bitcoin transactions for this week, including a call to all signature campaigns and your friends to postpone payment for this week for several days.
