If you noticed it that currently as we speak, things have bee getting better with bitcoin transaction fees, yet the Ordinals still exist, i believe there's much ongoing through the decision on this experience and very soon we will understand where it's all heading to.


If course people do, transaction fee shouldn't be a barrier if you're buying something worth thousands of USD in bitcoin and just paying not more than $20 to $50 USD in bitcoin as charges, whereas things have gone down now unlike before.


Make your transaction using wallet like electrum, put the function on static when making payments, pump the transaction fee using the RBF features, also make weekend payment abd study when the mempool is not congested.

IMO, as long as Bitcoin is not your only means of payment in your business, then there is nothing wrong with taking a pause at the moment that the fee is so high. By the way, I do accept Bitcoin payment in my business, and during this period, I have also encountered the challenge of a high fee, which I had to share 50/50 between myself and the customer. At least I have a business where if I sell one piece of my furniture, it always has a lot of profit, so I still feel not much cheated by the fee, but just that it's abnormal to me since I have not experienced such a situation before and also the fact that I still started accepting Bitcoin payments last year and having to see this situation taking place now. I believe it will be handled, though it might take some time to normalize. My advice to you is that if you feel you are spending so much having to cover fees for customers and also that they are not willing to cover the transaction fee themselves, you can yet take a pause, and when the fee is normal, you can start accepting again.

From what tranthidung said, I think you should create those thread and announce it there.

Op the transaction fee of bitcoin has come down so your business customers can continue the payment method of bitcoin. The fee price as for now is 0.00002963. the only bad news right now the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin price right now is $26,400.
You giving discount for bitcoin payment can't spread the news of bitcoin but can only give the news of your business. With the transaction fees in bitcoin, you can't give discount on bitcoin payment but you can give a bonus. Your bitcoin acceptance business is not clear to me. The thread is looking for another thing here.

I'm with you on this, I've taken my time to study the wide saying that the Mempool is less congested during the weekends, and by virtue of that, lower fees are awaiting transactions. In reality, this is constructively true, but practically, it's not always so. What I observed is that the Mempool always follows the condition it gathered during the week-long towards the weekend, and if the condition is bad or affecting, there is no miracle it would do.

In case everything is normal where no factors affect the Mempool aside from normal transactions, then the weekend will get fewer activities that could lower the fees.

That's not a long period of time, since you could've started accepting it in December, so it's like you saying:
Listen up everyone, there's something wrong with a currency that's worked for the last 13 years because i had to stop accepting after 6 months.
I feel for you, so sad


And I believe bitcoin bitcoin doesn't care about ordinals, just as it did not care about hash wars, Faketoshi, Chinese bans, and people like you saying it's over. One of us has to be wrong, I wonder who it is.


Try LN. It's cheaper and faster.

There are now two ways to handle bitcoin transactions. The first way to put a complete stop on BRC-20 madness which seems highly unlikely.

The second way is to adopt lightening network. I believe this is the most reasonable way to take. Check the post created by tranthidung above. It will give you a decent idea on what needs to be done for LN payments. I believe this is the way forward now.

Taking a break in acceptance of bitcoin is not a bad idea but I would advice and suggest why not switch over to the lightning network as its main purpose of creation is to tackle situations like this, although I know it adoption is quite low for now but this crisis that have surface with ordinals on the bitcoin on chain network will make many folks start adopting lightning network technology and with some time past it will no longer be a thing of complaint anymore. Some seniors have already drop some useful links to study all about the lightning network so I guess you give a try and see the outcome.

Yes it is very unlikely because BRC-20 will continue to grow because of the hype and maybe it will last longer if there is a lot of interest in the BRC-20 Ordinal.


Many have suggested using the express network however it depends on the OP whether to go with this option or just stop paying bitcoins in his business.
Now Binance will also adopt the lightning network so it will be easier for us to transfer there and exchange other coins or maybe stablecoins.

If all I do is accept Bitcoin as payment into my wallet address how am I going to restock the goods I sold? Be calming down mister, I am not stupid.

Do you expect me to give my customers my Binance wallet address so that I won't need to make any transactions to the exchange? Why aren't people thinking before making comments?

What business thread you talking about? I am a fashion designer offline and I sell clothes and materials, I hold only a small portion of my profits in Bitcoin and I use the rest to buy back some goods for another customer.

I mainly focus on Bitcoin only, and that's the fault that I see here.
