Tried getting small order in today, bought £80 worth from CB, £3 or so to buy, fantastic i thought, we'll be smoking tomorrow i thought, then i went to send it to my own wallet i was quoted £20.
I'll buy a little more btc tonight and see how gas fees are then, thinking about trying to send in the early hours to see if that helps.

Exactly the same here 😂😭

Good info. Much appreciated. I use CB mostly too but was in the conundrum how much BTC to buy without knowing the sending fee.

It's gotta be an Oz to make it swallowable then at £20.
Annoying near the end of the month before payday when I only want a Q :(

I don't know if a different time will help. 2am here is 9am in China. It's always going to be prime time somewhere.

Gas fees are coming down now it would seem, trick is to catch the wave before they shoot back up again.
Can't see CB fees being £20 right now, the mempool seems quite slick currently.

Good skills.

It used to be just watching the BTC price but now we have to factor in the surges in mining fees too.

This is what everyone buying weed wants to do obviously lol

Fees are still not ideal but much lower than they were five days ago.

Coinbase still high, £20 to send £58 atm for me

Yup, just been charged 20 to send to my own wallet, when can we get LiteCoin ffs.

I feel so unlucky to be a Coinbase user during this time as it seems to have higher fees than any other judging by some of the quotes that I've heard people complaining about but that I'd be happy with in comparison. Finally gave in yesterday and bought a 0.5g cart with the btc I had planned to buy 2 full carts with just a week ago when fees were normal lol.

unless you're just timing it wrong with the time of day youre checking it does sound like coinbase are selectively screwing their customers somehow. fees are back to reasonable levels at the time of writing this. I stopped using coinbase after they asked for more documentation after already providing it all previously. imagine if your bank asked for that every year. clowns

Just cost me £22 to send £74... Piss take!

Thanks for the heads up, I was just about to place an order. I'll wait.

Never thought it would be middle network fees that would finally force me to reduce how much I consume. Market forces!

I dont usually like to do it this way but I've sent directly from coinbase to the transaxe, maybe as a one off it's something you guys could consider

That's exactly what I did... £22 fee!

Fees on Coinbase still high (28/4 21:30). Not telling me how high, as it used to do, just saying insufficient funds to complete transaction).

£20 currently. 26/04/24 14:05

Kraken exchange! So much better than coinbase imo, cheaper fees.......

Yes mate! £14 to send £210 earlier this week. Cleared with Transaxe in 10 minutes. 😉

26/04/2024 - if sending fees on coinbase are still high it's likely theyre choosing to screw you because the btc mining fees have came back down.

Instead of buying BTC from coinbase buy SOL which is far cheaper. Transfer the SOL to another wallet that can swap SOL to BTC. Then spend BTC on your orders so your only getting hit once on the BTC gas fees.

I bit the bullet at 15 quid on Wednesday. Just checked the fees the now and they're 20 quid. Friday 08:00

total scam prices. hopefully people can jump ship to somewhere else to send btc

It was asking for £200 to spend £200 the other day for me, I dread to look at it!!

absolute racket. no idea why they're higher than the network prices.
