Thank you for this useful information I haven't come across an information of this kind. I had to go through it over and over again to gain full grip of this vital knowledge

Thanks.

As I stated, those tools are for people who are paranoid with such parameters, want to complicate things and have spare time to filter those information. Of course, they have to do their own investigations on what those sites give.

Thank you. The funding rate can be taken to close a position before the close of each funding interval.

• BitMEX's funding history: https://www.bitmex.com/app/fundingHistory
• The funding time also triggers transaction fees on bitcoin network. It was discovered in that article The daily BitMEX broadcast at 13:08 UTC
• These findings somewhat similar to my findings (links in OP): Hour frames from 0 to 12 UTC are best to move bitcoin.

Exchanges, since 2019 if I am not missing anything, follow the trend from Binance to create their own exchange tokens, and run promotions, fee discount for users if they use own exchange token to pay for trading fees.

I remembered Binance updates their Fee schedule with the mandatory criteria to hold BNB in order to get promotion in level. Maybe they did it sometime in late 2019 or early 2020.

One more exchange you can add into list is Wazirx which has its own token WRX offers 50% discount on trading fee when you are holding.Basically it is an Indian exchange but owned by the Binance and also they allow foreign nationals to sign up and they have lot of trading pairs with decent volume.

The withdrawalfees.com website is really handy. It shows the minimum, optimum and median withdrawal fees for top cryptocurrencies which is very useful when we are sending cryptocurrencies from one exchange/wallet to another. I have bookmarked this site to quickly get to know the optimum withdrawal fees for any cryptocurrency. I wish there would have been an API for the same so that we could code a program which would send us the optimum withdrawal fee and the coin for which the optimum fees is lowest than the others.

A quick check with BTC transaction fee, the site gives the overkilling fee. They suggest 124 sat/vbyte for fastest transaction (next one block ?) but if you check it with another site (that I use and believe it is very accurate), the fee would be 100 sat/vbyte.

Check it at the third chart, and hover the computer mouse at the end of the chart to check latest update for size of mempool in different fee rates.

I made this topic for people who need such many details or just one of them, but I would not go to be paranoid about fees like that. It is a waste of time to check many coins only to find out the one that gives you lowest withdrawal or transaction fees.

When you are familiar with crypto, you will have some friendly coins in your list for withdrawal or transactions. Each time you do it, it is a quick check with a few coins only. Four to five coins are enough to change around at different periods.

If I move my big funds (in my capital), I will choose bitcoin. It is the safest chain to move big funds with super high hashrates and cost of attacks are expensive.

I just checked https://txfee.org/# as well and I have to agree with Findingnemo that they are not suggesting an overkilling fee rate for fast confirmations if we compare it with what https://mempool.space/ suggests.

Right now, the site suggests 94 Sat/vByte.
https://mempool.space/ suggests a high priority fee of 99 Sat/vByte.
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,8h is the best however. A 60-70 Sat/vByte would be enough for a next block confirmation right now. Checking the state of the mempool yourself is always better than trusting third-party fee calculators.

Today I read two articles in which authors mention about the weekend effects. I invite you to read them just to double check my sneak peek about weekend effects.
