Want Faster Bitcoin Transactions and Lower Fees? Try These Workarounds
Your Bitcoin transactions don’t have to be expensive and slow. With a little bit of know-how and pre-planning, you can keep transaction times and fees at a manageable level.
High transaction fees and long processing delays are top of the list when it comes to issues (and, in turn, discussion) surrounding Bitcoin right now and for good reason. The network is choking on the huge influx of volume seen over the last six months or so and – in its current format – it simply can’t handle the issues that scaling has brought to the table.

transactions can be relatively cheap as long as they aren't URGENT. Made a decision tree to help. Until scaling solutions (lightning, schnorr) arrive you should still rarely ever pay more then $1 to transfer non-urgent transactions.
Basically, through using either GreenAddress or a hardware wallet (Trezor, for example), you can overcome pretty much every issue outlined above, with the choice of these two options rooted in whether the transaction is urgent, whether you and the person you are sending to are using Coinbase, and whether your keys are in hot or cold storage.
There’s one exception – if you’re sending bitcoin from Coinbase to someone that’s not a Coinbase user, you’re still going to have to pay a lot to do it and you’re going to have to wait a while for the transaction to complete.
There’s one other option that we thought was well worth a mention and it’s a service currently being provided mining pool ViaBTC. It’s called
and it involves the pool prioritizing transactions that are submitted to it to be included in the next block that it mines.
Of course, this prioritization is limited in scope, so you’ve got to be fast. The company is currently offering 100 free accelerations per hour and it’s first come, first served, with a fresh batch accepted at the top of each hour (so, for example, at 19:00, 20:00 etc.
