We were using Blockchain with our site for quite a while but this has become ridiculous - they were charging around $0.04 initially for sending 1 Bitcoin transfer but now if we paid a member $1.50 for instance (worth of Bitcoins, a minimal amount) we would see a $1.75 deduction i.e. $0.25 is in fees!
That's absolutely ridiculous, yesterday it was $0.11 and now it's $0.25 - they keep on raising the fees.
Is this normal?
You are viewing the fee in dollars.Check them in btc and you will get better idea.Bitcoin prices change rapidly thats why you get different fee in dollars.My wallet shows my coins in my local currency and it keeps changing but it doesn't mean my stored coins are increasing or decreasing.Only their value change
