> But at $10+ for a transaction fee that’s impossible Algorand transaction fees are a fraction of a cent.

  That’s great news, but the major projects like BiCoin and Ethereum are super expensive to do transactions. I hope Algorand takes off as micropayments are a really nice use case and I’d like to be able to use it. Just simple stuff like sending $20 worth on a paper wallet to niblings for their birthday. I just want to stop using cash.

    I’m sorry, but you are vey misinformed regarding the transaction cost of Bitcoin.

      What’s the best way to check out transaction costs. This site [0] shows the average transaction cost at US$1.675. And the same site [1] shows ethereum at US$3.916. This is much lower than the last time I checked. But still impractical for any real uses. A few dollars per transaction is bad, especially when the price can fluctuate 20% per day. Here’s the blurb from their site “ Average Transaction Fee is at a current level of 3.916, up from 3.227 yesterday and down from 17.67 one year ago. This is a change of 21.36% from yesterday and -77.84% from one year ago.” [0] https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_fee https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_f...
