I think it's about scale, normies look at bitcoin and it's 14k so the $25 fee isn't much because they aren't making many micro transactions. They are paying like 3 fees a year and trading 30k at a time and saving it for later.

No one cares about 2x and even if it does come to fruition it'll just be another tradeable shitcoin like bcash. BTC fees only get absurd for short periods of time when normies are either all heading for the exits or malicious actors are intentionally spamming the mempool. 150 sat/byte corresponds to roughly 5 dollars to send thousands of dollars worth of BTC inside 1 hour. In no universe is that "absurd", and the fees will only decline further as more institutions adopt segwit.

>>5493304

In what fucking universe is it 40-68 dollars right now? If fees get that high, then just put your degenerate drug transaction on hold for a day or two until shit clears up, or go use another crypto.

neither of them are. bcash has a terrible development team, broke the most important core principle of proof of work (difficulty) and is moving forward to sacrifice decentralization for micropayments.

bitcoin proper added segwit (which wasnt fully necessary for second layer solutions, any fix for malleability would work) and the miners stalled so long that it spawned bcash from it.

none of them match the whitepaper, but it's obvious satoshi wouldn't side with the hostile fork coin that had to break proof of work just so it wouldn't die.

if he was still around, he would have been able to push out a much simpler hardfork for malleability much earlier, and would have avoided this whole problem. but don't get fooled into thinking he was an idiot and thought you could just keep blowing up the blocksize for ever.

the simple fact is the infrastructure isn't here today for bitcoin to be accepted as a form of payment for those services, and even if it had 1GB blocks it would be the same. you delusionalists are all wrapped up in this imaginary battle for what bitcoin should be, that you fail to see that the market itself has already decided what bitcoin IS.

no amount of crying on the internet is going to change the fact that money coming into bitcoin today has no delusions about the quality of the network right now, and are simply buying tickets for the future. if bcash was ever going to stand a chance of replacing bitcoin, litecoin would have already done so, but nobody apart from litecoin evangelists would be stupid enough to think that was ever going to happen.

use your little brains, if bitcoin is going to die, why in the world would everybody move to the exact same coin that still has a chinese centralization problem, still has a broken proof of work, still has fundamental scaling issues, and still has the oldest codebase of all, with nearly 10 years of legacy cruft that is nigh-impossible to remove going forward.

No, btc is being left behind in droves because of its failure to adapt. Look at Steam, Bitpay, and the ever-rising price floor for it to be practical to actually transact with bitcoin. The opposite of adoption is happening.

The only money coming in to bitcoin today is dumb normie money and institutional investors fixing to take a shit on it. It is completely delusional about the utility of bitcoin, even some of the big media outlets writing articles about it hardly have a clue how useless it is for any practical usecase as a currency. These people don't know blockstream from their .0003 bits coin.

Charlie Lee has always positioned litecoin as bitcoin's good little goy, "silver" to "gold", 'transactional' to 'store of value,' even going along with their no2x bullshit. He's had like a 5 year headstart on BCH and has like a third of the marketcap. He even has little r/bitcoiners advocating its use. Because they know it isn't a threat.

When people realize the disgraceful stain on the face of the humanity blockstream is, it will appear self-evident why adoption and onchain scaling was the answer. I'm pretty content just watching the market play out. We have our roles now. An onchain, mass-scaling p2p currency vs offchain store of value or something.

bcash isn't a threat to anything. It's a shitcoin fork endorsed by a tiny minority of the community, most of whom have ulterior motives for supporting the shitcoin in the first place (asicboost). It piggybacks off the name of bitcoin and essentially stands on the shoulders of a giant and calls itself tall. It's by far the shittiest of the shitcoins and everyone who supports it should literally be round up and shot.

Luckily the main proponents of bcash have likely sold off most of their BTC holdings and once this chinkcoin crashes to 0 they will have no economic say over what bitcoin is or does anymore.

What are consequences of lowering the fee in the wallet?
If I want to send small amount of Bitcoins with the lowest fee there is (on Electrum) that is 5 satoshi/byte (which in my case would be 0.000012)? Low fee means just slow transaction? How slow? A day or two? Or more?

Once send it with a fee too low, then there is nothing really you can do, right? Can't really cancel it or something.

Would it be theoretically possible, to mine particular transaction on your own?

>> No.5499012

>>5498842
no like i said you can double spend. until a transaction is on the blockchain you can spend the same coins as many times as you want. only one transaction will make the ledger of course the one that is first mined by a block that becomes part of the chain (but this is not 100% sure until some subsequent chains are mined)

you can also use transaction malleability to alter your transaction i think but not sure if that's easier.

>> No.5499184

>>5499012
I understand now. Thanks

So what would be a minimal fee if I want to be sure it will go through, but don't really care about the time (well I mean, within reason). 5 sat/byte is the lowest, will it be acceptable? If no, how about 10 or 20?
