Yes, extremely high.

I can not belived my eyes yesterday.
To send 30$ within 100 minutes I paid 2$

Last year I paid something like 0.002 $

My bank wire transfer to another bank in europe is for free.

A fee of $2 is still OK, for international payments. But I am worried that this is going to increase further. If the consensus is not reached on block size, then the situation will get worse.

I think using bitcoin as a payment is not worth again. Transaction more expensive than bank, bitcoin will be used in other way

Gone are the days when you could buy a cup of coffee with Bitcoin. Now it will become more and more of a speculative instrument again than a mass adopted merchant tool. Bitcoin will end up being just a store of wealth for Whales. It's so costly for me to send small amounts of bitcoin now under 100 USD that I don't bother anymore sending bitcoin that is less than 0.1 btc.

ROFL, IKR!! The fee on blockchain is really ridiculous, so damn high up to 0.001+. I think it's because so many unconfirmed transaction and it's make the fee become high for faster confirmation. But still, it's so damn high!

I can't even get few dollars to an exchange and its pissing me off. This is the third time trying to use minimum fee's but the bitcoin client custom fee input that I inputted is totally different from the blockchain.

I fucking inputted "0.0001338BTC" as a fee.

So, it's gonna stay unconfirmed again for days on days.

bitcoin used to be an innovation in banking industry, but with these fucking insane fees! i wish bitcoin will crash down... Angry

I certainly don't wish that bitcoin will crash, but that said, it isn't banking industry at all. Otherwise, there would be an operator with huge interest in getting his network back to normal operations.

Just have a look at the backlog vs. fees - looks like we won't even get down to 100 000 (hundred thousand) unconfirmed transactions this weekend: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#30d

Bitcoin technology has been over capacity for 3 weeks now, no signs of improvement :-(

I wanted/went to go transfer 0.00184008BTC to buy burstcoin, but it takes that much to make a transaction? Huh

??

Wtf happened to btc? Why is it so high?

I mean what the fuck is going on in 2017?

I just laughed at my transaction fee.
Way too high for just sending a million satoshis.
I guess they are forcing us to keep our bitcoin and just do a bulk transaction rather than small ones.
But what about those merchants who sells things and also the buyers who will buy the item and spend more just because of transaction fees.
Instead of saving, they paid more.

Yeah it is better to use the trading websites for transactions. They are just using the miners fee and not more. They are way faster too than the online wallets. Grin

I dont know what is happening but this should be fixed. A lot of people are getting restless now because of this dilemma that is happening with the bitcoin community.

Haha.
Been away for about 5 weeks now. I just checked bitcoinfees21 and wow.

5 weeks ago, fastest and cheapest suggested fee was around 250/byte. Now it's at 410. That's just. Sad

(210 * 410 = .00086 = $1.66 )
The most basic transaction now costs almost 2$. It's like, either pay up or wait hours, if not days. Cry

Better maximize and utilize every single transaction.

Are you saying you dont enjoy the fee of buying into btc from usd and then fee of transfering!!! Round here the consensus is that fees are a privledge. Hehe.

I agree with you though. Buy into btc and convert into something else to transfer. Then convert back to btc. Its cheaper that way.

Yup, this is my last round with bitcoin.
Transaction fee's are to high. Even a pool operator states we cannot have our MINED btc because of phenomenal fees.

The problem is this stupid debate over SegWit and Bu, they are fighting over like a kids, they don't sit down and talk to see that they have the same goal - to make btc better for everybody.... there are like 220k+ transactions in mempool right now with too many transactions people tend to pay higher fee to transfer their coins. Just look here : https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions says 235k atm. I wonder why price is raising when we can see that btc can't be used as a fast currency to do the transactions...

So, I tried sending to an exchange. Sent on the 5th. Still unconfirmed. Used lowest txfee. https://blockchain.info/address/14XknsfpDYGV4pusK7b8bsixDQER4PZok9

The chances are you wont get that transaction confirmed and if you are lucky they might reject that transaction because with a 1 sat/B it wont reach anyone,for a standard transaction to get through with the current congestion you need to include 60 sat/B .I know it is frustrating but the fact is bitcoin cannot be used for smaller transactions with the network situation we are in.

Ok, this is what I did.

Code:

Status: 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool, has not been successfully broadcast yet
Date: 5/10/2017 11:33
To: 14XknsfpDYGV4pusK7b8bsixDQER4PZok9
Debit: -0.00183784 BTC
Transaction fee: -0.00000224 BTC
Net amount: -0.00184008 BTC
Transaction ID: 58630cc05fa6363bbec037a3aaef11b88f3f9efab9aadd201f4b563cce337386
Transaction total size: 224 bytes
Output index: 0\

used https://bitsusd.com/
60Sats=mBTC 0.0006

So I inputted 0.0006 for the transaction fee of 0.00184008.

Should it make it to the address of the pool now?

Thanks.
