BTC Fees - GoFuckYourself.com

HomerSimpson · 06-10-2017, 03:13 AM

I haven't messed up much lately with bitcoins... And I just wanted to transfer some of I have from different wallets into a single one..

So what I have found out is that the fees for smaller transactions are quite big.

For example: If you want to send 1mBTC ( 0.001 BTC) that equals to $2.8 you would have to pay between 0.00147615 BTC ($4.13) and 0.09215589 BTC ($258.036)

So, fees for buying a coffee that costs $2.8 would cost you $4 and $258. That's fucking insane! And then people say PayPal has high fees and BitCoins are cheap to use !??!?

Here's a good article about it

Good that you pointed this out.

Churning means excessive trading by a broker in a client's account largely to generate commissions. Churning is an illegal and unethical practice that violates SEC rules and securities laws. While there is no quantitative measure for churning, frequent buying and selling of securities that does little to meet the client's investment objectives may be construed as evidence of churning.

Same end result -- this is why Bitcoin is not a currency -- assuming his numbers are correct.

Money is in motion always. What is the point in owning digital currency unless it's exchanged in the same wallet? A closed loop. If I am getting this right?

i think of these coins as just buy and hold then liquidate when the time is right.

Thanks to point this out

There is a chain-split (BIP 148) coming on august 1. That should give an improvement of the Bitcoin network. It is recommended that your wallet supports this new chain and you should hold your private keys locally. Just to be safe. If your wallet does not support the new chain your Bitcoins can become worthless because it will use the old nodes.

I thought Bitcoin (and other digital currencies) intention was to be a transactional currency?

I am working on a new payment processing scheme outside of the credit card networks because of the costs and the hassles. So apparently? it is better to select one low volume digital currency and move the play money within the same wallet, that is if a wallet functions as a 'banking system' more or less -- then pay the fee once to cash out to hard currency (like dollars or euros).

I am looking at this as a transactional currency not a get rich scheme.

Barry-xlovecam · 06-10-2017, 09:08 AM

OK, assuming the above is correct;

Each wallet within a digital currency is like a real world bank.
Each bank (wallet) has a "per transfer" charge to move its 'digital currency' to another wallet (bank) -- this charge is variable based on the byte length of the blockchain that this 'digital currency' is part of.

As an example: Each Bitcoin 'mined (created(printed))' or fractional unit of the digital currency, is a part of its own unique blockchain?

So, if want to move or withdraw fragments of 'Bitcoin' in aggregate the withdrawal (cash out to real money) might entail many blockchains and variable 'withdrawal fees'. So, it is not a set amount ...

Once you are in it might be expensive to get out ;0)

Crickets ... Last bump ...

So, I guess the best thing to do is find a minor (miner?) digital currency with its own wallet and adopt his operation for a porn wallet. The cost of converting from, then converting back to a real national currency cannot be too expensive. This way the customer absorbs the costs of using a credit card and jumps through any hoops.

This is a 2nd alternative for people (buyers) not in the ACH or EFT/(SEPA) areas.

a lot of exchanges that will let you do many payment methods, even itunes cards, pizza cards, etc for btc which could be a way around privacy

Barry-xlovecam · 06-12-2017, 07:30 AM

It's not about privacy so much. Too many issues with the credit card associations and their banks and processors.

99% of the people are going to buy in with credit cards or bank transfer to the coin wallet same way cashing out for the sellers.

I would never use Bitcoin -- people wont understand it and how it can be fragmented -- they will just think of the near $3000 price or the next value fluctuation -- Bitcoin has become its own worst enemy -- if it wants to profit by being a transactional currency.

The main thing it the cost of buying in and cashing out.
