I was adding a few smaller sell orders (0,01 BTC) on Bisq. However the calculated transaction fees on the seller side were more than 5%. Tried to add another well order with a variable amount of BTC and ending up with 4% transaction fees, calculated over the maximum amount. Imagine someone is picking up the minimum amount of 0,01 BTC you will end up with fees of 20% at the seller side. Any reason the transaction fees are at the moment that high at the moment at Bisq? ---

Mining fees are high because there’s a lot of demand of space for the BTC blockchain. [mempool.space](http://mempool.space) is the place where the fees are fed to Bisq, you can see it for yourself. ---

Thanks. Looks like the mempool is loaded with very small fees (1 satoshi). ---

At this moment, fees were lower.
