Since February according to
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,6m
a transaction costs again only max. 5 satoshies per byte.

So for an average transaction of 226 bytes, that's 1130 satoshies, which equals 0.00001130 BTC.

Why does Kraken still pay the miners 0.00050000 BTC? This is totally inappropriate.  Huh Shocked Angry Cry

I've been waiting since February for Kraken to adjust the transaction fee back to the new reality. But nothing happened. I have the feeling that I am the only one, who has noticed that in the meantime the real rate of change has fallen sharply again.

With me it does not hurry, if I withdraw my BTC's from Kraken. And I think many others are not in a hurry either.

So my suggestion: Kraken should offer 2 differnt fees and let the user choose whether he wants a quick transfer or not. Even for a quick transfer, these 0.0005 BTC's are totally over the top.

Or an other suggestion: Kraken should make the fee dynamic. Nobody wants to pay 0.00050000 BTC for a transaction, if 0.00001130 BTC is enough.

I'm rather angry.

Would appreciate a statement from Kraken. Thank you.
