    Are Bitcoin transactions still slow?

    "The Bitcoin network is currently experiencing record usage, resulting in longer confirmation times and higher miner’s fees for transactions. Transactions are likely to be more expensive and/or take longer to complete and additional fees go directly to miners."

    Are you guys having any trouble moving funds?

    Yes, still slow and expensive.

    If you have a book that takes Litecoin maybe try switching to that.

    Had a positive experience with ether on Thursday. Got ether from Justbet sent to Blockchain wallet (same as bitcoin) to Lowvig.ag. The entire process took 10 minutes and cost me 30 cents in fees.

    Bovada is now accepting Bitcoin Cash for deposits. Much quicker and far less expensive than Bitcoin.

    Ether kicking ass once again. 2,000 from Justbet to blockchain to betonline. 30 cents fee, confirmed in 6 minutes. Would never deal with bitcoin again if everyone took ether.

    Took about 12 hours to get 6 confirmations from last night to this morning. I will be looking for other options as BTC is expensive and slow.

    Moved coins on Christmas... fees were only $4.87 and was confirmed in 15 minutes. I couldn't believe it. At the time... network was congested with 175,000 transactions. I did notice 80% of those were extremely low fees. Don't know what people are doing??? Smoking down... probably.

    I've notice one thing with people...

    They are either paying TOO HIGH OF A PRICE...

    OR TOO LOW OF A PRICE.


    You need to start measuring your file size... and using mathematics based on the appropriate rate. It does work if you know what you're doing.

    If you are looking to buy ETHER I would suggest using Gemini Exchange they offer it at market price and I send to my blockchain wallet then to books very fast and easy.....Like     Waterstpub87 says it confirms fast and very cheap fees like old days of btc its nice

    Very low low fee but size at least is below average so it should confirm but may be many days...did u try the paid side of viabtc? See how much fee is and if u think it’s worth as I have read it works well....
    or u can try this one as it is very affordable and has good review read about it and if u try please report..

    i made a deposit earlier through bitcoin and it was in my bookmaker account in 10 minutes. I deposit instantly through coinbase through my bank account. $$ is instantly in my account. To avoid slow Coinbase network and expensive fees, I transfer for free to GDAX which links with Coinbase. GDAX charges maybe a 1.00 and their network is much faster than Coinbase,

    Nice, I'll check that out as backup. Glad i found something because the mining fees and delays on Coinbase were getting ridiculous.

    Can you transfer Bitcoins from Blockchain to GDAX ? Are their any benefits in doing so ? I'm getting killed with fees sending from Coinbase to my Blockchain Wallet then sending from Blockchain to sportsbook ( Betonline ). What process would be best to minimize transfer fees ?

    Thanks..

    send it right from your blockchain wallet....ETHER is there just exchange BTC to ETHER right in your wallet

    Hit other deposit methods in BETONLINE and it will show ETHER plus LITCOIN as other crytpos
