Could be a while for things to improve. Need LB to start accepting other cryptos!

UPDATE 11/052023

fees are still the same for me, been trying to witthdraw £50 from coinbase and it's asking for £21 in fees every time

does anyone know if i buy more bitcoin and try to withdraw it, the fee will be lower? i've seen this in the past even when the fees are normal, £100 can be cheaper to send than £50 for example, i wondered if that's the case right now?

i NEED to order today or else i'm fucked

No, doesn’t work. I had $105 in mine, trying to pay $90, wouldn’t let me. So I put in another $90, balance was $195. Tried to pay the $90, for ages was still saying dust error, then let me pay $90 but with a $32 fee 😭😭😭 someone on here did teach me about changing the fees, which you can do, but says it might delay payment. Bloody nightmare.

Bollocks! well thanks for letting me know!
Coinbase fees take the piss all year round anyway and now having to deal with this is beyond infuriating

this is so stressful for everybody, i really cannot understand why the topic of a new payment processor and currency isn't just pinned to the top of the topics wall till it's resolved

I tried to pay 105 dollars and the fee was 59 dollars.

£21 fee to send £49 from coinbase to my wallet

obviously i didn't go through with it, which means i literally can't order

i feel so bad for sellers and buyers right now, we need to find a solution for this instead of just accepting it every time it happens

I just tried to put an order in and fees are £33! Looks like I’m gonna have to cancel order.🤨

I got 60£ fees on 300£🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ can’t doing anything now as it also cost 50£ to send to my bank account due to fees pisss take

Fuckin wild isnt it? I was sending 50 and got hit with 23 pound fee

Yes same. 59 dollars for 105 order so cancelled it. After sending £250 to my wallet but not paying those fees.

fees are extreme all over. Its a case of either holding off on purchasing and hope they fall back to normal over the next few days or paying 20%+ more than normal.

So do you reckon a few days time things will smooth out?

Yeah, saw a 1g tester for $10 I wanted to try.... $19 transaction fee though fuck that

Me too, didnt notice until it was too late

Same here, I slightly underpaid as well so it will cost me £26 to pay the £1.67 difference 😬😂

😩😩😩

Oh my fuck

Yep crazy fees. Gone from 0.77 p to over £4 to send coin for me.
Hiatus.

Yeah,me,gonna charge £15-£17 for a £20 buy,wankers,I read something to do more ppl using crypto,high traffic.

Mad innit. Only saw this morning as I checked a cheeky 1g sample. £8 with a network fee of £18 😂

Its mental hahaha hopefully sorted soon

aye same for me with coinbase 22 pound in fees from 60 pound order, whats going on, noticed when was too late

Ripping everyone off before folding?

No it’s just how the transaction process works, the more busy the network is the higher the fees unfortunately, hopefully it dies down soon mate 🙏

yeh its teh eth gang with the new BRC-20 with mega high volumes of transactions. as every thing is based on the bitcoin genesis block. as every thign is a copy of it. while butcoin is the ultumate like god of digital currency and cant die offf or be replaced.

Why is the network so busy?

No idea ☹️

My wallet provider is charging loads. Gone up %500 in 2 days.
I tried to by half oz for 105 dollars and the fee was 59 dollars on top. Fuck that I cancelled. My wallet provider said its a back log of transactions being processed. Like 350.000 so to stop people buying bitcoin they have put the rates up until this is sorted.
It's everyone that's being effected on every platform. It's global.

I purchased £260 of BTC on coinbase this morning 13-05-23
£1 fee to purchase the BTC
£6.73 fee to send straight from coinbase (I normally pay £1-2 total for both) good luck😎

Yup, £37 for a £25 buy.
Really want some eddys frenchy tech, just not with £12 in fees!
