There goes my Purple Haze award.. (Expensive Fees) - LoremIpsum - Apr 20, 2021

Anybody else noticing the ridiculous high fees on small BTC transactions?

I pay $28 fees for a $50 transaction. Which is a big reason for me to skip this year's Purple Haze award.
Who else got some extreme high fees (50% of the total costs) with Exodus wallet now?

I could use a different wallet, but I think it's a shame of the $15 that are still there..
Really doubt whether or not to splurge another $28 on just some fees for the award.

Yes. BTC is crazy right now. I chose to pay with ETH because of that.
I also have a transaction that is still not confirmed for more than 2 days now...

2 of my last ETH transactions (from Binance to ENJ wallet) disappeared. So I lost literally all my ETH at the last attempt.
I guess I'll just skip it or hopefully get some random sale today in my wallet that I didn't expect.

Either way, I'll prepare better for next year. That's for sure!

Yeah I've noticed that too. BTC is going wild these days. I had to pay with altcoins, mostly ltc ($0 fees)

I doubt whether to spent some money on buying ETH, but I really don't want to as I lost enough already with the last attempt to cash them out..
Anyways, glad to hear that I'm not the only one with the ridiculous high BTC fees. I mean, 50% of the total costs is really insane.

Just wonder what's it gonna be like in a couple of months.
For the same reason I've used LTC for recent transactions.

The fees are part of what made me and many others start using altcoins more. BTC is good for a long term hold but not as good for daily use as it once was.

Had the same lol. Fees are shit atm. XMR for the win.

Pretty sure Omni literally said pay with BCH or LTC if you want a quick low fee transaction. BTC fees have been high for months now. Nothing new.

How much fees for XMR?
I noticed ETH was $11 fees too.

XRM fees are literally non-existant. Transactions take 10 confs. About 30 minutes.

Did I ask for a solution or did I ask who else got these ridiculous high fees with (Exodus) any wallet when paying BTC?
Exactly..........

Thanks. Closing thread now, before other members see this opportunity to leave some hindsight advice.
