Just recently, someone advertised to sell .005BTC for cash using Zelle. I figured, this would be a good way to try out Zelle. The problem is, that the suggested mining fee was .003BTC, or 60% of the purchase/sale! This is completely impractical, of course. One option might be to reduce the mining fee to something like .0005 BTC, but this might take a long time to clear the blockchain, and I am wondering if that might cause problems with the trade and end in a dispute? This may become more of an issue with the rise in crypto prices, because a .003BTC mining fee is no longer just a couple of dollars. ---

This is a global issue at the moment with Bitcoin, and completely outside of BISQ control. For eg. I wanted to buy pizza from [http://marvin.ie](http://marvin.ie) (who actually accept Btc for home delivery 🙂 ). This has become completely impractical for two reasons: 1: The mining fee would be more than the cost of the pizza 2: There is a good chance that the payment could take a few hours to complete, by which time my hunger would be past satisfying The solution is hopefully coming soon in the form of: [https://lightning.network/](https://lightning.network/)
