RubiChads, what the fuck

This is my first dabbling with using Metamask and Eth and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. All I'm trying to do is convert around $50 USD worth of Eth, aka around 0.03 Eth, into Rubic. To do this, it's going to cost $60 USD??! How the fuck is this feasible at all? The fee is more than I want to put in?

transfer your eth to probit exchange, trade into USDT then RBC, spend only like 10-15 in fees. Downside is low volume so you're spending more than market price but it's the best option you have

>> No.27890092

>>27889951
Okay, so that high fee is normal then, I didn't fuck something up? How do people here fathom wasting that much money just for what should essentially be unit conversions

>> No.27890194

>>27890092
Not to stack shame but the gas doesn't scale that much with volume, thats why it seems so absurd for your transaction

>> No.27890646

So do fuckers here literally dump like $1000 worth of Eth into shitcoins at a time to justify this price? damn this board is rich

how much were you depositing? This seems like a colossal waste of money. What's the amount recommended to at least not feel like shit. I'm guessing me trying to just get $50 of Rubic isn't feasible

okay don't listen to them. gas used to be much cheaper, it's gone up significantly as of the past few days, close to $200s. It's also nonscalable fee (as in, it doesn't matter how much you're throwing it'll be the same), BUT, it changes throughout the day depending on network traffic. the current low you can expect these days is maybe $35?

someone posted a guide to getting it cheaper without using ethereum and gas fees, but it's rather multi-stepped and didn't work for me personally. I can find it if you'd like. But yeah, fuck the idiots saying that it's normal to spend $100 on a gambling ticket that involves throwing more money in lmao. That ironically discredits the project more than anything else, since most people with sense wouldn't burn money for an uncertainty.

I've found that Bilaxy and probit (pretty shitty CEX) is selling RBC without gas fees. Good way to exit without gas fees when you know there's a dip incoming

I think my total was 400 and something after gas fee? but I immediately shot from 60 cents to 90cents with what I was buying so in a couple hours the gas fee was paid for and gains were made. Consider it the cost of being early. Just dont buy something willy nilly because if its a bust, you will be punished hard. Rubic is a great choice by the way

this but you have to tell him how to convert fiat to tether or whatever. I wasn't about to do it on Probit after the trouble of signing up with all of their ridiculous confirmations of confirmations. when I tried to transfer usdc from coinbase wallet on my phone it said it didn't recognize the code as valid.

Fees are high when you're buying and selling through uniswap, 1inch, etc. I've spent thousands in fees but I just write it in as overhead and make sure I profit more than enough to cover it.

I spent $160 to swing a coin earlier but I profited $220 after the fees. It takes money to make money baby.

i know that, i've been in this for a while. but i don't care what it promises, the point is you just can't feasibly have such high costs of transactions without pricing out anyone who isn't wealthy (or stupid) enough to pay to part with their money in hopes of turning a profit down the line.

good idea. I've been swapping to XRP when I can lately because the transaction fee is so low, usually 1 XRP, then just swap it back to usdt or whatever

No. It allows you to buy RBC with ETH directly, kind of like what you'd do on uniswap, or rubic.exchange. There's a number under the price up top that'll tell you what that much eth is worth in usd.

>> No.27892917

>>27890092
What you are realizing is what I realized when I bought rubic at 27c and got fucking assraped by gas fees. I don't think that trying to put $200 into rbc (a reasonable gamble that I am entirety willing to lost on what might be a pajeet scamcoin) and only getting 111 to actually transfer is acceptable in any way shape or form. This experience made me go all in on ADA, and cemented my opinion that ETH is doomed to fail if they don't fix this problem NOW.

I'm by no stretch rich but yeah, that's literally what I do. I have all said and done about $15,000 to my name and 0 debt. I gamble a lot more with my cash than I probably should. But I have no wife/kids/whatever so I'm not really hurting anybody. The way I see it, I either make big gains or I don't and lose some cash. If I lose some, it's whatever. It would've just sat in my bank anyways.
