Bitcoin fees have spiked again, $20 USD for 1 confirm transactions!

Please be aware that bitcoin transaction fees have spiked again, delaying a number of bitcoin transactions sent from our site in the past 13 hours (in other words, we have sent transactions that haven't yet confirmed after 13 hours).

I once again repeat my recommendation to use Doge, Litecoin,or ETH if possible if you are ultimately trying to get to your native fiat currency. A similar recommendation applies if you are trying to buy from our site: if you are in a hurry to make a purchase, right now I would suggest paying with something other than bitcoin until the congestion on the network subsides.

Current fees for bitcoin are here: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/:

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 490 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 110,740 satoshis.

For current BTC price of $18,111 USD (price from coinmarketcap), that is:

0.00110740*18111.6 USD = $20.05

for a "median" size transaction, but bear in mind that your transaction can easily be 50% larger (in which case you pay 50% more, that is $30 USD).

Please note that if you're waiting on a bitcoin transaction from us, it will arrive (we pay a fairly large fee to make this happen), but you can likely expect delays.
