This article have missed to cover about low fee newbies used to put to save cost on payments leading unconfirmed transaction for many hours. That will make them panic about bitcoin and they will start blaming bitcoin network for it and some may even opt out from the idea of using bitcoin again. Grin

Actually bitcoin was never meant to have high fees, that just got introduced recently by Blockstream.

And that is a big turn off for me.

I don't mind paying a nice fee to miners but it is getting to be a joke now.

I am pretty sure that the transaction fee will get changed when Bitcoin goes more mainstream because people can't afford to send another person 0.0001 BTC just so the other person could get about a dollar or so. When I was using Bitcoin to send transactions with a Bitcoin client called Multibit, the transaction fee was usually set to 0.0001 even if the price went up. Now that there is a client update, the transaction fee gets really high when sending payments and there isn't any easy method to manually change it unless the code is rewritten.

yes that is a big problem which must be solve on priority basis i think. it is now creating problem for the people.

If you want to get rid of this problem then add higher fees and every thing will be fine as I don't think that its an big issue as people who are earning bitcoins are willing to wait even if it takes some time for transaction to get confirmed.
