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.

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.

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?

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.

Today's keyword is "frustration" greatest fear my a*s Cheesy

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.

One of the features of bitcoins is irreversible transactions which usually works against most bitcoin sellers as simply trying to buy an item\service usually results in us getting to being easy targets with no trace of the scammer its so annoying.

Hope you have heard about pay pal .If you are planning to sell items to unknown people use a payment system that will allow people to be more transparent rather than dealing with bitcoin.The salient feature about bitcoin is that it is not irreversible and it will never be.What frustrates me is the transaction delays we are having at the moment.

For me, at the moment it's the uncertainty that my fee was high enough. Well there is bitcoinfees.21.co, but it's not very user friendly having to check it every time I make a transaction.

I must say that this one is probably my greatest fear about using bitcoin. Copy/paste a few times just in case and then checking it once again just in case. But other than that, variability in confirmation time could be the one, besides those two things, nothing specially.

I must said this is one of of my greatest fear which is sending my money to a wrong address because missed one letter then it will be disaster and it is not reversible and also the confirmation time sometimes took so long, until i wonder will my coin arrived safely , because once it was sent i can't cancel it, and if something is wrong then the coin will be gone

There's nothing to be annoyed upon using bitcoin. But maybe there's a way that miners can avoid the thousands of transactions that are unconfirmed or probably improve it, nevertheless this is not an issue for me. And with the adoption I'm waiting that local stores here will accept btc.

I hate it when I need to buy goods but no shop that sells goods I want accepts bitcoin, so I need to convert my bitcoin. even there is a good I'd like to buy here in forum, the shipping cost is too high. so I cancel my wish to buy the thing.

When somebody sends BTC with not apropriate fee, especially when there is huge back-log and I have to wait more than a day till the transaction is confirmed

well that's what it takes because miners fee really affect the process, but all in all bitcoin still the easiest and lowest transaction fee
if you will transfer money from one person to another.

There are lot of things I hate like unconfirmed transactions and it can take hours before it will be. I have to cash it out through a remittance services in our country because none of the merchants in our country accepts bitcoin still. Its funny because despite all these hassles, I still like bitcoin. And its all because I get to earn using bitcoin too.

After I got scammed from someone who lets me do some simple job that I though was a passive income, BTC being irreversible is the best feature.

Unconfirmed transaction which takes very long time disturbs me, initially I used to get frustrated but now its getting casual, but sometimes I get annoyed when it takes too much time, when I need it ASAP. Other than this till now nothing about Bitcoin really frustrated me.

It frustates me a bit, but I usually don't need to finish my transaction in a hurry, what most frustates me are the attempts that people do to steal money or to discover personal information of bitcoin users. Unfortunatelly the technology of blockchain doesn't protect us of this kind of issue and anyone can discover how much bitcoin you hold, how much you have and more...

Or when I'm not sure that I put the right address where I'm sending coins

Yes, it's a bit funny but many people are getting paranoid with this and check the address 4-5 before they hit the send button.

On topic, waiting for the payment confirmation could be annoying but not frustrating, I am only getting angry when I can't find shops which accept Bitcoin as a payment and I a have to use fiat or convert my coins to buy what I want.
