Still far below what I expected to be honest, with post-halving fomo and all that. I mean, yes, I have had myself to pay an extortionate amount of satoshi to make 1 Pizza Day payment (as it had to confirm fast) but otherwise, I'm still avoiding dollar costs since I do manage my inputs quite well.

Before talking about LN, we should really push services to upgrade to Segwit first, and use batch payments (some still don't!), and then eventually convert to 100% native Segwit. We're getting there. I think that alone would be a huge relief off the network.

I experienced that last week but I opted to wait for a week because I know this is not permanent and after a week of waiting I checked it and was only charged 50 cents down from $6 transaction fee from last week, so don't lose hope  it's not permanent, I don't give up on Bitcoin just because of this.

Yes, there are some exchanges that charge more. But not all exchange sites are the same. If you search a little better, you will find some exchange sites that charge much less. It may take a little longer to reach your wallet. But in that case you must find a good exchange site first.

Yes the fees are high but there is nothing you can do about it. You just have to find a way to cope with it and wait it out. There are times I would want to make quick transactions, but due to the high fees I will be unable to make use of the priority option and will only be left with the regular or lower transaction fee which will take around 30 to 60 minutes or even more than that.

I don’t think the devs can really do anything about it, unless you’re referring to the miners? No miner at this time will like to accept a small fee at this time, they are all trying to cover up their expenses which probably got high after this halving. The fees we pay for a transaction depends on the situation of the market.

You're right the fees are high but I think at some level they're important to continue incentivising the miners who spend lots of money in the infrastructure they need to. mine or to allow transaction to be added to blockchain on a daily basis. Without it the whole system wouldn't work and blockchain technology based systems won't exist either. The only thing that will bring down the fees in my opinion is the adoption since the more people there're using the technology the more processes will be required to be performed ultimately driving the fees down.

This happens sometimes so if you don't want to spend high in fees then wait for the fees to down low before sending.
thats the only option you have or else use low fees but wait for sometimes to be sent.
we are all in the same situation so just bear for a while and stop complaining,You reached that Legendary rank but until now you are acting as a newbie?

It's launched... What are you waiting for?

If you're not spending your bitcoins, then you are part of the problem why it's not being adopted...

If you are not in a hurry, a 10sat/byte fees is perfectly okay. Today got 6 confirmation on 10sat/byte within 1.5 hours. That's 26 cents to send 15 dollars.
I was using segwit native and blockexplorer claimed I've saved 42% of fees using a segwit native. So, if you don't have a time constrain, you can go much cheaper.

From what I have understood, the fees for Bitcoin transaction is not really attached to price, it’s about the demand and supply being high.

There are times I notice that the price will be increasing and I will have to pay a high fee for a transaction and there are time when the price will stays stable and settle at that same high price and when I try sending money I will be charged small fee.

Bitcoin network can only process 1MB, so when the supply and demand is high the network becomes congested and miners will only process the transactions with high fees. When this happens there are lots of people who are enforced to spend big money as high fees for a quick transaction. As per the current situation, it seems segwit is not helping or it is slightly getting older to cope up with the current number of bitcoin users and their transaction habits; probably it is time for segwit V2.0?

Increase in fee is a big problem for Bitcoin if we want mass adoption. Already this thread has been full of queries and reason to why the fee is high but, if you still compare the fee with big payment system the fee is very low.

Currently the fee per byte is hovering around 70 to 75 Satoshi, which is previously was 40 to 44 Satoshi. Current USD value of Bitcoin is making it look much bigger than it actually is.
