1399 sats \ 12 replies \ @cryotosensei 29 Sep 2023 \ on: Stacker Saloon
Was so looking forward to this weekend because I thought I would finish accumulating the 29+k sats that is necessary to buy my preferred gift card from Bitrefill
Bloody hell. I just realised that it charges a 3k network fee. Not daunted but bummed that my goal this weekend can’t be achieved
How do you guys cope with using sats amidst such high network fees?
A few more @nemo inspired blasts and you're there

That's sad buddy. I know you've been looking forward to buying the gift card. I try to stay away from projects that charges high network fees. I can't be wasting my sats on fees. They are too precious to me.

I agree with you. Unfortunately I’m a parent with negligible me time, so I cannot patronize those restaurant that are listed on the btcmap.org website. Giving local merchants my sats is what I hope to eventually do

I completely understand. You should have enough by tomorrow morning. Just have faith and everything else will fall into place.

Haha I’m okay! Just zapping people away. I don’t want to turn into some Scrooge haha

I'm glad.
What's the gift you're planning on buying, if you don't mind me asking?
reply
A supermarket voucher. Haha. What can I say? I have two young children.
Also I have a digital bank account with my supermarket and if I make five purchases in a month, I will qualify for a higher interest rate tier. So that voucher will definitely contribute towards my goal.
They charge that for Lightning deposits?
reply
Yes apparently!
But somehow the network fee doesn’t apply when I choose a smaller ($6) UberEats-style food voucher. It’s so strange!

Channel opening fees?
