66$ transaction fee? Bitcoin we have a problem!

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone,

I am quite surprised to find that I have to pay 66$ transaction fee to send just 85$.

Are we reaching a point where we can not use bitcoin any more?

Is it $66 or $6.6 ?

66$ ; check image above

that's too much....here at steem no transaction fees and in less than 3 seconds...

Seriously? If the August fork doesn't end up doing as expected, the scalability problem issuing bitcoin will definitely make it collapse sooner or later...

I tried transferring my satoshis from one wallet to another and they wanted nearly $10 to do so. My satoshis were worth about 55 dollars at the time, so that would have brought me down to $44. I adjusted the fee to be about $1.19. It's been about a week and my transaction is still unconfirmed.
