Network fees
Hey biggas, is there a rule of thumb when it comes to network fees? I’ve looked a few times over the past few days and Coinbase is still wanting over £12 network fees for an £80 sale.

Coinbase works best for me between 05.30 - 06.00 in the morning £1.99 - £2.99 fees for sending £100/£150 any time after that it goes up to £6.99/£8.99ish. Lots of people day trade bitcoin in other countries to make a daily wage, busy traffic on blockchain seems to raise the fees in my experience. Hope this helps x

Wow. Maybe it's just me.

Coinbase wallet wanted 35 bucks on a 100 dollar fee this morning.

I've legit started putting an extra 10% in people orders to cover these mad fees

Think I spent £45 in fees last week on 2 different orders totalling less than £100. Half the stuff didn’t even turn up either

I trade Nasdaq mostly, been doing for over 7 years now and if you have a strong psychology you can make a really nice monthly wage out of it!

Had the same drama last night (25% fee on the total amount) so I waited and ended up with a £2 fee early this morning.

A general rule of thumb seems to be ‘off peak’ hours are cheaper so evenings and weekends, but this will be US evening and weekends so take the time difference into account.

Cheers mate, nice to know there’s hope I won’t get hammered on the fees.

If you want to get deep... fees are subject to outbreaks of war and sudden conflict. Bitcoin is a good way to buy more ammunition. And governments sometimes buy up all the rockets etc that are available on the black market so they aren't used against them - Exocet missiles being an obvious example that were used during the Falklands. And recent rockets ETC

Deeper the better. Interesting to know though cause I love learning information that isn’t common knowledge and that people would easily label a “conspiracy”. Thanks for the info.

Bitcoin halving is happening on the 19/20th April. (the amount miners get is halved). So the market is kinda busy now with people either buying hoping for the price to increase crazy amounts again, or people selling due to thinking it might drop. If you google "bitcoin transaction fee" there is site which tracks the average cost. Like others have said, try sending at odd times and the price should be lower. The more transactions there are taking place, the higher the fee is.

Cheers for the heads up about the website trippycat. In your opinion, do you think the fees could be as volatile during the halving or is there no way to tell?

trippycat
As a pure guess i'd say the fees will stay volatile, probably get a little worse in the next couple days. Though they should be less so after the halving is done and settled

But the fees have been fairly volatile for the last 6 or so months anyway, so not sure at all.

Cheers Pablo. Strangely enough I’m trying to get the crypto to get 2oz of your shake. Am I right in thinking it’s delivery say Thursday if the payment clears to you by 2pm Wednesday?

It used to be regularly lower overnight (when the US is in bed) but not recently. It's never really calmed down properly from when fees went mad at the start of November 2023.

The website mentioned I've linked above. You can see the cost of being in each block in real time, and the symbol like a guage in the bottom left gives the fees needed for various priority levels and speed of likely confirmations. You can save a huge amount in fees if you're setting them yourself when sending from your wallet by checking on here first.

Have you tried revolut? My last 3 orders have been within last couple weeks around £250 and buying bitcoin fee has been around £4 and then sending has been £3. This has been consistent every time?
Network fees stopped me from ordering for 18 months and now I've found revolut.

Sending straight from Kraken seems to be cheap at the moment, paid 41p this afternoon.
