Got those fee numbers from another site.


okay so btc sending fees right now are very low if you choose low or medium priority.  How do you check what was the low/medium/high sending fees previously like say hours earlier or week earlier.  Can you check that with mempool or its always a current sending fee now?


What exactly do you click on to check current BCH and LTC sending fees?  So basically from highest to lowest in fees... its always BTC, LTC and then BCH?  LTC seem to always be few cents from what i recall?  But BCH is at most one cent always?  So if you were to send small amounts to someone... say 5 dollars or less, it makes sense to use BCH or LTC usually?  Because even as low as the BTC sending fee is now... normally its bit higher? 

LN i assume is lightning network.  Don't have clue about this.  But if i were to send btc from nano ledger and its in segwit... that is okay?


Well i want to know if it make sense to get LTC instead if i would send LTC to someone and don't want to pay a lot on fees.

Transaction fee only makes sense for you if you store your coins in non custodial wallets. If you store your coins on exchanges, you won't be able to customize fee rates. Exchanges usually charge very expensive withdrawal fees and they don't mind to change it when fee on networks is cheaper.

They set up a static withdrawal fee and very rarely update it. Usually they only update it if they want to increase withdrawal fee on their platforms.

Going to get tiny amount of LTC... think between 25 and 50 dollars from a site.  They do not charge any fees at all.  Reason is because they are a gambling site and they charge no fees at all.  Don't believe they allow a 5 dollar withdraw and minimum is at least 25 or 50 dollars.



After i receive the LTC, i will do a 5 dollar LTC transfer to someone because i want to order something.  Then probably make few more 5 dollar LTC purchases later on.  So based on that, i want to know what is the best way for me to save on transaction costs.  Or should i just use btc to order something and pay the sending fees that way?  The reason why i want to use LTC is because if i use btc to pay that person or site, couldn't they see my transaction history of my btc from my nano ledger s?  Thus i want to stay more anonymous... so i figure since if i pay them with LTC, well that wallet would have at most 50 dollars and if they want to check my wallet history later on, well it won't have much there.  Does that make sense?  So since i use a nano ledger s for btc, wouldn't there be some privacy issues because if i send say 5 dollars worth of btc... they could see... hey my previous receiving transaction was say me receiving around 2000 usd worth of btc?



Now i do use a new receiving address each time i receive btc... so would privacy and transaction history be visible to the person i would send btc to?  Now if this is a new btc wallet on say electrum for example... and say i receive 50 dollars worth of btc... then send 5 dollars to the other person, well i don't care much because they could see i only had one transaction and its 50 dollars only.  Thus i want to show the wallet i send btc or ltc from is like from an everyday spending wallet... as oppose to holding wallet.  So thoughts on this?



So i want to not only save money on sending costs... but i want privacy.  i want to either send btc or ltc from an address where if you check the history, you don't see more than say 50 dollars total going through that address.  But ltc seem to be always cheap as a penny.



What should i do here?  Don't mind even a mobile wallet on my iphone for this as i want the wallet that im sending from to be like a spending wallet.

Yeah, I made a transaction recently with both coins BCH and LTC from a non-costudial wallet, and based on my experience I can say that those transaction fees were accurate in both coins, But bitcoin transaction fees were slightly higher compared to that input. I guess it depends on your wallet because in my wallet there are three options while sending it was slow, fast and standard so I can say it depends on your choice of input.   

I will always choose lite coin for the lowest gass fee in transaction if I use a non-custodial wallet (like Trust wallet). But I don't think you're talking about a non-Castidial wallet . If you are you using any exchanger then you should take lite coin for lowest gass in transaction. There is one more option in my opinion which is polygon it's cost the lowest gass fee ever I seen.

I really wouldn't prefer any of these at all. I would prefer LTC if given a choice, because I do not want to hold BCH in my wallet ever, and btc is just more expensive, but why not pick stuff like SOL for example? Or matic? Or even doge if you want to, like pick something that is cheap and not these options?

There are tons of places, I used Avax for example recently and it was so cheap that it was fractions of a single cent, it was basically free and it was nearly instant as well, it reached my wallet in under a minute, it was like 30 seconds or something. So, I really doubt that these three would matter in a talk about a 5 dollar transaction.

Blockchair has a tool to compare blockchain with many information and transaction fee is one of given info.

When you use altcoin blockchain to save transaction fee, you take risk with a weaker blockchain. Bitcoin blockchain is the biggest and safest to use for transaction. Faster and cheaper should not be your priority when you pick a chain to use.
