Well, I'm very frustrated with btc last days, I'm paying 0.0005 fee (around 0,5usd) for a 24usd transaction and still need to wait around 6~8hours everyday...
That's a lot. My transactions confirm in an hour, sometimes it takes a bit longer, but with a large fee like yours it should be a lot faster than 6 hours.
I agree with you that the fees are getting too high, but the confirmation times haven't changed, at least for me.
Yes like many people here I am also getting frustration with the time taken for getting confirmations for my transactions. Today I transfer some bitcoins from my wallet but it got stuck without confirmations for more than five hours still now. I just worry about when will the block size problem will get over and we will be having hassle free experience with bitcoin payment system.
