increase the fee MAY help

Hit or miss mike

Depends on traffic

Your fee is too small you cheap fukk.

Make it 0.001 and just don't buy a Big Mac that day if you're worried about saving money.

[shocka1212]

Monday morning is too busy... btw, 3am is perfect time to buy if you guys are into that sort of thing.

i use kraken/coinbase so i have no control over that fee... believe me i would much rather pay $5 than have hold risk of hundreds

3 hours and still 0 confirmations

Mikey I don't know anything about BTC but ran those numbers through a BTC converter on google and it looks like you're paying $1.17 in fees on a $91,000 transaction, is that correct?

That's a lot of moola in BTC brother, glad to see someone doing well

that whole transaction isn't me, and withdrawal limits are pretty much $10k/day on bitcoin everywhere... i sweat the price movement on 10k enough, 90k and i might start throwing things waiting all day.

normally i wouldn't care, but there's a hard fork in about 10 hours which coinbase doesn't support, so i could easily be getting screwed out of 500 if this goes too long

It also could be you have un confirmed transactions in your BTC stream that will slow things down but your fee is low...If in a hurry always use this site and there recommended fee and you will be happy https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Stop using coinbase it's shite

I'm waiting in a nitrogen payout for nearly 10 hours and not wanting to miss the fork.

29000 unconfirmed transactions at moment

few months ago $1.17 or $2 tops was more than enough to push through quick when unconfirmed # was a lot higher

now people are talking $6 ? thought it was supposed to get better as time went on not worse

[JIBBBY]

I agree the fees are absurd and now there are delays in transfers from what I've seen.. Garbage.. Makes me not want to use bitcoin period when you factor in the high fees with every transaction...

Almost ready to go back to using ccredit ccards and then just cancel the card the next day after the charge goes thru to avoid any further fraud and CC number compromising.. No fees with CC's..

[Courtesywipe]

God damn transaction times cost me $$ today.

Got to be a better way.....

[MeanPeopleSuck]

Most exchanges don't let you choose your fees. I'd guess that's his situation.

[MeanPeopleSuck]

The congestion today is owing to the hard fork tonight.

I'm going through the hell of waiting for $6000 in usd tethers, confirmed sent, no word on receiving end 6 hours ago.

Sending from Polo, I couldn't choose fees.

amex serve always worked for me online but this was few months ago

$1 per month the only fee, free load at 7-11 or wherever

******** stopped working at my book tho, but their fees higher

that beats btc any day, cashing out could be headache tho

Jordan Belfort recently said Bitcoin is a scam....

IDK, guy is pretty inside when it comes to identifying scams.

[milwaukee mike]

i realize that, but kraken won't send me wire transfers and gemini isn't in wisconsin yet

for now it's the lesser of all the evils for someone like me that wants something easy

today actually worked in my favor for once... made a few bucks even with those silly fees... usually i'm on the wrong end of price movement

what does tethers mean?

good luck... i was sitting on that 10k all day, the 350 move in my favor could've easily been 350 against me ($700 difference in 10k isn't something people should be comfortable with)

And Jamie Dimon and Mark Cuban and a zillion others, all of whom have been 100% wrong so far.

tether is a coin version of a dollar. it's tethered to the usd, so 1 tether always = $1, BUT you can move it around as easily as any other crypto. tethers are the central feature of any and all crypto arbitrage operations, including mine.

jamie dimon says bitcoin is a scam, helping drive the price down from 5000 to 3000... says his traders would be fired for trading it... and then his company is the biggest buyer of it the next day, through a bitcoin fund

what a lying, scumbag manipulator jpmorgan chase, and their executives are

[MeanPeopleSuck]

WHOA, possibly huge news: a friend of mine, someone I trust, said he's successfully sold futures of BTG at this market, pricing about $400: https://yobit.net/en/trade/BTG/BTC

I'm gonna sign up right now and try to sell. If I'm successful, I'll come back and confirm.

Get your BTC somewhere BTG friendly right now, friends, it's possible BTG might not be junk, after all.

he had zero, zip, zilch to do w/ the crash to 3k. that was all china; he just opportunistically made his comments when he saw it coming.

you didn't have to be a genius to see it coming. for example, this dumbass pegged it pretty good right here on our own boards, two days before dimon said a word: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...ulp-maybe.html

not sure where i read it, but somewhere said 5%-10% for bitcoin gold, like bitcoin cash was

good luck, i temporarily got rid of my bitcoin just now because i'm not holding it in places where i would get btg

[PaperTrail07]

yeah.....I used a high fee and just sent mine.....it better penetrating show up LOL....

he definitely had more than zero to do with the drop, i had 2 clients/friends that sold some based on the jamie dimon comments and it was front page news on yahoo finance, dropped right after his comments... we were getting these kinds of articles so to say nobody sold on that news is incorrect imho

It was perfect timing....he denounced it while china made the ban/block right? He then made a huge buy bc deep down he knows its the future.....

If they are making moves based on front page announcements from Jamie dimon that's insanity....guy says things only to help himself...DONT DO DRUGS!!!!! ....walks off and takes a line smh...

yeah it was already slipping the 2-3 days before he made his comments (on china news)

in the crypto community i know they gave no credence to his comments, but in the stock market community they did, and the people in that world deal in millions of dollars... not the 5k-50k stuff that many crypto guys are playing with

if there was an easy way to buy bitcoin in ameritrade/etrade/schwab/chase/fidelity/etc accounts, it would be worth a heck of a lot more than 6000... my clients with tons of money ask me about it all the time, i'm not even close to an expert but they know absolutely nothing and still want to buy $500k worth

[PaperTrail07]

LOL jesus......same type of people will feel "the rug was pulled from underneath them" when they blindly invest LOL...
