I think coinbase is asking for fee's for every transaction right now because of the miners fee increase Lips sealed

Xapo and coinbase are not actually a bitcoin wallet, they are centralized payment processor .
I at all cost try to avoid them They don't share private keys with you and can lock down your account anytime they want.

Have you used any bitcoin online wallets. If you used it before your answer will not this you have answered here. Coinbase and xapo are most of the preferred wallets around forum. miliions of users using coinbase wallet for long time. Keep investing on the bitcoin and buying and holding also can be done by the coinbase trading site. You are this wallet is good means what would be perfect wallet and what wallet you are using?
For private key they will give the information in their FAQs itself.

just a couple of things:
- don't add size to your whole topic, it is annoying because it gets unnecessarily big.

- there are two ways to reduce fees:
1. don't reuse addresses to receive a lot of small transactions. try to keep the number of outputs (received transactions) to a minimum. spending 1 output costs about 30K-40K satoshi while spending multiple outputs consts more depending on how many they are.
2. you may already be using this but upgrading to newer wallets will generate new version of private keys (compressed) and that will make your transactions a little smaller.

- use wallets that suggest the appropriate fees such as Electrum or Core

- if you are making a lot of payments, try combining them all into one instead of paying one by one.

- XAPO and Coinbase are third party accounts not bitcoin wallets and they come with their own risks. you can get hacked or they can easily block your account.

"if you are making a lot of payments, try combining them all into one instead of paying one by one."

Say I have 1000 ABC tokens (just a made up ERC20 token name) and I want to send 1 ABC each to 1000 separate Myethereum wallets, how can I do this at the least cost method, or no cost?

Can I for example do a bulk distribution sending from Wallet A (my 1000) to many Wallets (1000 of them) and class it as 1 transaction?

As far as I know, no reputed wallet service providers are not supporting no-fee out-transactions for their customers. Probably switching over to off-chian transactions could be a solutions for you if you are deliberately needing zero fee transactions and you are processing some big number of transactions daily.

Xapo to Xapo and coinbase to coinbase transactions are coming with zero fees. You can ask what wallet a person is using and when you are paying them, you can use same wallet type as per him and by asking them to switch over to one single wallet type can be a long term solutions for you.

C-cex to c-cex (they are exchanges and NOT an wallet service providers) can be done in off-chain mode or by using code also.

So how do I get 5o use the c-cex to c-cex off chain mode? Huh

It is not worthy to use them. You would win only a dust amount saving them from the fees being paid by XAPO as an online web wallet provider but on the other side you risk your account to get blocked for different reasons and your bitcoins to remain locked there forever. It has happened to many people here in the forum so it is better to pay the fees and have a wallet which you are in control of everything.

yah youre right, better prioritize your bitcoins security in every situation. although i think only newbies will take advantage on this no miner fees thing that xapo offers when you

send a xapo to xapo transaction besides most newbies use online wallets. the situation is different now, with the high miner fees no wallet provider will shoulder any transactions

fees of their users. both xapo and coinbase offers that back then but they stopped. right now only internal transactions are with no miner fee. and i think with xapos increasing

bad reputation, the time will come when it'll stoop to coinbase level

These are only the possible ways to use if you do really hate fees which making transactions directly on these exchange wallets but not possible on those web wallets exist online. I cant really think off on a wallet which do charge free on making transfers. Coinbase and xapo do offer these things in the past which they do patch up the fees for their users but as of now they are charging already some fees which is sad.
Sending bitcoins does need fees for it to be confirmed and no one would already patch it up for free considering fees are already high.

I suppose we can noore find such wallet with free send fee because bit coins are now quite expensive and hence no freebies and his from exchanges again

Yesterday, I was talking with my friend that he spends a lot for Bitcoin Transfers for fees.
Using BlockChain that cuts a lot of fees which is necessary but unnecessary for me like peoples. who does little transactions and cuts a lot fees.

What is Bitcoin Network Fee?
Bitcoin Network fee is charged by miners who mine the BTC's and they take this fee for confirming the transaction. I didn't found instant confirmation yet anywhere but Coinbase does it faster than Blockchain I guess.
Anyways, you have to give fees if you use BTC.

How to get rid of this fees?
There's no way! Actually you have to pay the fees in order to get your transaction confirmed.
So this is a necessary thing, but some Service Providers pays the fees from their pocket or take it from zero fee confirmation. There was Coinbase before years doing this to gather new customers.

Today... I want to introduce XAPO Service which is same as Blockchain, Coinbase and let you send BTC's without fees.
I started loving it since I use it. The way of their website security is high, they use bitpay api & block.

Since it is free, does it confirm early?

it's not entirely free, in the sense that they pay the fee for you, and yes it's usually confirm fast, it's not different than when you withdrawn your money form any exchange in terms of speed

but in that case you pay for fee, now that i think about ti there are exchange that are very fast in sending you the coina nd only spend 20k satoshi...

I use xapo, or better to say that xapo was my first wallet. In beginning xapo was ideal for me for all low amount transactions, from all the faucets and micro earnings. I still use that wallet for some micro transactions, their android app is also very good, I have it on my phone. All in all xapo is good wallet and they are here for a long time.

Since usually I never support third party things , I meant party wallet of of bitcoin beside of the official blockchain . But I also used the xapo for the store of the bitcoin for small earning. In the beginning when I started bitcoin with freebitco.in then I used xapo Instead of blockchain Because I found that xapo is best because if I will use blockchain then surely I will lost one week earning of the freebitco faucet .
But Currently I like the blockchain instead more bulk Transaction because after the coinbase news I thinking that may be any problem I can face in the future , so avoid big transition in xapo or coinbase .

Coinbase aint free but the good thing is they charge little like 3000 satoshis or up. Xapo? I think they charge whenever you do transactions that are really low.
I guess that is their way to avoid people from doing a lot of withdrawal at the same time which makes the heavy traffic of transaction. Actually they did a good thing but what about those who are earning little who are just doing faucets. We must understand them too. When they withdraw like 100k sats only they will be charged.

I think coinbase is asking for fee's for every transaction right now because of the miners fee increase .. i just send some few bitcoins in other wallet yesterday and they are asking for miners fee.. unlike before that they don't even asking for transaction fee.
For xapo. i have problem with xapo i can't login with my account even my pin is correct by always try again to confirm the verification..
I think only here in my country has no fee for every transaction which is coins.ph. and i think they will change this rule in the future because of the miners fee increased.

I didn't know if xapo still continues transactions without fee. They are old and good wallet service with card. If anyone has experience, are transactions quickly confirmed? Also how do they cover transaction fees? Maybe fee from buy/sell bitcoins, am I right?
For me transaction fee isn't big problem because my bank sends my btc transactions with so high fees Cheesy

minimum fee from their side is 0.001 BTC and I have to pay only 0.0001 BTC for that. Result is nearly immediate confirms.

Xapo and coinbase are not actually a bitcoin wallet, they are centralized payment processor and their internal transactions are not truly a bitcoin transaction.

I at all cost try to avoid them because we can't have full control over our bitcoin there. They don't share private keys with you and can lock down your account anytime they want.

As well, transactions Incoming to your wallet equal to 0.00040095 or less are charged with a fee of BTC 0.0002673 and it is automatically deducted from the respective transaction.
So it is the same, we have to pay the fees.... I heard too about casino sites, but i don't see me, sign up in those sites to have a wallet, it's ridiculous

With this your analysis its obvious there is no way we can avoid the fees the best is for us to find a way to reduce it to the barest minimum. Even an exchange site that I use with a free transaction all of a sudden start charging a fixed fee if .0002btc but I still think block chain is the best as it apportion the fee according to the transaction intended to carry out...

Blockchain is good but charges fees according to your transaction.

You didn't said anything new, mostly of us know Xapo wallet for a long time. Even if Xapo wallet helps to save money because their transactions is free, I don't think it's a best option to keep bitcoins - we don't have full control of our bitcoins on Xapo, because they don't give private keys.
Also, few months ago Xapo introduced fees for small incoming/outgoing transactions. I think soon they may start to charge all transactions, because it become to expensive to cover all transaction fees from their pocket.
Coinbase already started charge to charge fees because of growing amount of users and increased transaction fees.

Xapo is as old as the hills my friend and most people on here are already familiar with it. You just need to remember that Xapo tx's is only FREE,

until you go on-chain and if you want to send a transaction to someone that are not a member of Xapo that transaction will go on-chain and you

will pay the normal miners fees. Best solution will be for you to sign up your friends to Xapo, if you want to send coins for free. Wink

No! They didn't charged. I had calculated Grin

Coinbase Have a fee of 0.0004 (40cents) for every transaction.

coinbase before very good, so pity..really.
I use blockchain.info, coinbase fee structure more good.

xapo i guess will become centralized like coinbase.
If u not do the gambling or black market , then can use xapo in daily as it have visa debit.

I haven't used Xapo before but seeing this explained on their website makes me think the OP is wrong or has misunderstood how Xapo taxes transactions:

Quote

Bitcoin Transaction Fees

Internal bitcoin transactions between Xapo accounts are not subject to processing fees.

The cost to send transactions via the bitcoin network constantly fluctuates. Since the cost to process both incoming and outgoing transactions is continuously changing, we recommend always checking this information!

Outgoing bitcoin transactions from your Xapo account to a bitcoin address outside of Xapo will be charged a fee of BTC 0.0003375.

So can anyone other than the OP confirm or refute these points? Thanks. If there are really no fees for on-chain TX I am going to switch to Xapo!

I used xapo for a long time ago. Maybe 2-3 years.
Until now there is no fees to pay. I recommend people to use xapo as a secure web wallet also we don't have to pay fees. Xapo will pay it.
Really it's a great wallet, Never i have a problem with them. You can get a dynamic Bitcoin address, You can enjoy instantly transaction from xapo account to another xapo account, Without any confirmation. Then you can try to use xapo and enjoying with this wallet.

It isn't really not paying fee. Technically it is Xapo which is paying the fee for you. Coins.ph ( a local exchange) also have the same feature where they are the ones paying for your transaction fee. Tho it always isn't a very good option nowadays because they are paying the minimum which I think is around 10k to 25k satoshi which sometimes isn't enough to get your confirmation confirm as fast as you want.

We must understand that even with these fees getting paid for us by Xapo or Coin.ph or even if other wallets start doing so the transactions will not arrive faster, in the transaction core code there is a default value to fees that go to miners which you can modify them, and all that those wallets are doing are paying this default value and if you want to make the transaction faster you are going have to manually change the fee value so it becomes priorities.

Less than 0.001 takes more than 1 hour, and 0.01 or large amounts takes less time. I got transferred within 30 minutes with 2 confirmation.

The transaction should arrive instantaneously, if the transaction is valid and has the minimum relay fee. Ideally, the wallets can implement a system which has dynamic fee and the fees will be adjusted according to the user's needs and network. Some of those "wallets" sends transactions in batches so as to save on fees.

The total fee doesn't matter, fee/size does.

On a positive notes, what will happen when more than 50% of bitcoin users will be adopting Xapo wallets ?

Because Xapo to Xapo payments are instant and email based. It means it will never touch blockchain but your Bitcoins will be credited in your account.

To get rid of greedy miners, we may need to centralize bitcoin under Xapo. This is the result if we start using Xapo wallets in large numbers.

Likely not. But if it does, the users will have their coins under Xapo's control. The transaction volume would reduce if the transactions are done offchain.

Are you sure ? You are making me more confused now. Their website is clearly saying that transactions (outside their internal system) will be charged a fee of 0.0003375 https://in.xapo.com/fees/ Only an internal transfer is free... Comparing Xapo fees(0.0003375) or Coinbase fees (0.0004) are near the same i can say. What did you tried exactly ? Are you telling me that the content on their own site is wrong ? It's weird. Let me know, I may switch there too for an online wallet

I am using xapo and they have announced that they will be starting to collect transaction fees but they never implemented that,coinbase started collecting fees from last week and even with the fees you do not get instant transaction which is really not that good from them,but xapo is still paying from their pocket and they might implement their new fees structure pretty soon,but till now it is free to use to send coins.

I think the bitcoin fee is a required amount of money that we have to pay for the transaction, which is indispensable. People need it to maintain the system and make quick transactions. Only a very small amount of free play for us when doing bitcoin transactions, coinbase is a typical example, however, when bitcoin is branched, developers of coinbase have changed that, they put A fee for transactions, and it defaults to 50k satoshi. That's a very high fee for all of us. And I suppose, I hate BU because of the consequences it has caused.

I haven't used Xapo before but seeing this explained on their website makes me think the OP is wrong or has misunderstood how Xapo taxes transactions:

Quote

Bitcoin Transaction Fees

Internal bitcoin transactions between Xapo accounts are not subject to processing fees.

The cost to send transactions via the bitcoin network constantly fluctuates. Since the cost to process both incoming and outgoing transactions is continuously changing, we recommend always checking this information!

Outgoing bitcoin transactions from your Xapo account to a bitcoin address outside of Xapo will be charged a fee of BTC 0.0003375.

So can anyone other than the OP confirm or refute these points? Thanks. If there are really no fees for on-chain TX I am going to switch to Xapo!

I don't know if you are advertising for XAPO but this additional information is useful for newbies. Please be mindful that XAPO is a third-party company for BTC and that itself poses you to different risks. You don't "actually" have control over your funds. Try using other first-party wallet such as Electrum that requires sufficient amount of fees. There are different ways to lessen your fees in BTC, you just have to research for it.

Lol you never realised that there was something like xapo before. It more than 3 years old and i have been using it for a really long time without any problems. And ya they never take fees also. Plus they are the only wallet who allows user to buy bitcoin through bank without submitting any form of id, proof of address , etc.

probably they don't have many transaction(talking about xapo) now, and can handle to pay out of their pokcets the miners fee but remember that no one work for free in this world, and if yes he is already rich

Yes and right now xapo apply the fees for transaction bitcoin use their service
xapo starts talking profit from business of wallet bitcoin,
they must apply fees to their costumers if they want be survive in business of wallet bitcoin
or xapo will become scam if there are not fees.

It isn't really not paying fee. Technically it is Xapo which is paying the fee for you. Coins.ph ( a local exchange) also have the same feature where they are the ones paying for your transaction fee. Tho it always isn't a very good option nowadays because they are paying the minimum which I think is around 10k to 25k satoshi which sometimes isn't enough to get your confirmation confirm as fast as you want.

We must understand that even with these fees getting paid for us by Xapo or Coin.ph or even if other wallets start doing so the transactions will not arrive faster, in the transaction core code there is a default value to fees that go to miners which you can modify them, and all that those wallets are doing are paying this default value and if you want to make the transaction faster you are going have to manually change the fee value so it becomes priorities.

Less than 0.001 takes more than 1 hour, and 0.01 or large amounts takes less time. I got transferred within 30 minutes with 2 confirmation.

If you send more than 0.01 then the transaction processes fast. Less than that shows a note that it may take upto 24 hours. Tough I got transferred 0.0009 within 1 hour!!
So, I never had to wait for 24 hours actually. But as they are third party providers it may take a while more to receive, send , transfer or pending to confirmed.

Bitcoin Network fee is charged by miners who mine the BTC's and they take this fee for confirming the transaction. I didn't found instant confirmation yet anywhere but Coinbase does it faster than Blockchain I guess.
Anyways, you have to give fees if you use BTC.

There's no way! Actually you have to pay the fees in order to get your transaction confirmed.
So this is a necessary thing, but some Service Providers pays the fees from their pocket or take it from zero fee confirmation. There was Coinbase before years doing this to gather new customers.

Nothing new to see here it has been know for a long time that some of those services allow you to send transactions without fees, besides it is not like many users have not thought about that subject for a long time, so every time there is a way around fees the information is shared almost immediately.

Yep! I'm aware of that. They do it only for their business spreading nothing else.
Tomorrow or in future they will start charging. Meanwhile we can keep enjoying no fee transactions
Though, direct block is the best and secured way.

Someone said that Xapo doesn't really pays any fees. They do zero fee confirmations and for that they take long time to process the transaction.

That is good for the development of the coinbase wallet and services because a big amount of earning of the coinbase was losses in the paying transaction charges .

Yes. I saw Coinbase started charging for transactions from their new update. This is something like business strategy-
"While they're new in market they gives some offers, discounts etc to attract peoples" I know Xapo will also do it in future."
But meanwhile why don't enjoy it Grin

Yes xapo will do the same in future. 20k sat fees isn't that high in my opinion.

But if both the parties are coin base users, then there is no fees for the same.

There are lots of exchanges not only xapo that shoulder the transaction fee. And indeed this is not news at all. Even some gambling site shoulder the transaction fee which I can name, FortuneJack, as one of them. With the free transaction fee came the risk because in Xapo you are not holding the private key to your Bitcoin address, same with other online wallet out there.

Xapo is a decent choice for an online wallet, but they have their own restrictions as well. Their debit card is a nice touch though, and definitely something that can be useful under the right circumstances.

just a couple of things:
- don't add size to your whole topic, it is annoying because it gets unnecessarily big.

- there are two ways to reduce fees:
1. don't reuse addresses to receive a lot of small transactions. try to keep the number of outputs (received transactions) to a minimum. spending 1 output costs about 30K-40K satoshi while spending multiple outputs consts more depending on how many they are.
2. you may already be using this but upgrading to newer wallets will generate new version of private keys (compressed) and that will make your transactions a little smaller.

- use wallets that suggest the appropriate fees such as Electrum or Core

- if you are making a lot of payments, try combining them all into one instead of paying one by one.

- XAPO and Coinbase are third party accounts not bitcoin wallets and they come with their own risks. you can get hacked or they can easily block your account.

Yes, I agree with you. XAPO and Coinbase is 3rd party and there is always risk included. BlockChain or Bitpay has their own network or block so you can deal directly. But Xapo and Coinbase it working with trustworthy.
I use Coinbase since a long time and I found nothing illegal or bad from them. XAPO is my best choice from now because I do small transactions and it saves money. And xapo web interface is more secured than other 3rd party Service Providers.
