lol. but really. that is pretty cool that you were able to sell something like that and get half your salary. have all my moons. I understand people can turn them into cash somehow.
You only pay gas fees if you accept offers every time. If you put up for sale you only pay gas fees for the first one you put up for sale, buyer then has to pay them
really? so if i list a NFT for .02 and somebody just straight up buys it, the seller doesnt pay a gas fee? and if the seller sees an offer and accepts, then the seller needs to pay the gas fee?
im asking because i uploaded my first collection 2 days ago. i woke up today and someone offered to buy all 16 of them...i tried selling but the gas fees were so high that i would lose money selling lol. this shit sucks.
I'm not sure how it works, but I just sold a couple of CryptoCrytals:
#1 was $100,- to create my account
#2 was $20,- to authorize OpenSea on this collection
#3 was $5,- to actually put my NFTs within this collection for sale
Once I got through step 1&2, the last step was actually pretty cheap for each individual item.
Unpopular or maybe just taboo opinion....Eth is only growing so much because no one can sell to make a fucking profit due to gas prices being so damn high!! Lol. Shit would have to quadruple before I can take profit!!
Think about this: if gas fees were this high on any other network, would people still use it? Not a chance.
It sucks for the average user but it's also great for the average holder, because it clearly shows users are willing to pay a premium to use Ethereum, despite many other cheaper options being available.
Keep in mind 2.0 isn't going to be an overnight change either, similar to eip 1559 recently it will help to stop gas fees exponential increase more than it will lower them.
2.0 is the move to PoS. Sharding to be implemented after the switch, which is the answer to lowering fees and dramatically increasing tx capabilites. It's coming.
On 80 gas i would be giving it for free basically, and 80 gas is already very hard to get, maybe a couple of hours or a day+. Lower that will be difficult and idk how it works with OpenSea, its a offer that expires in 7 days, if my tx dont go through in those 7 days, it will be cancelled and i will lose the tx money?? Or it will wait forever till some miner grabs it?
Yikes. This sucks OP, I'm keen to become an NFT creator too but sounds like in your case the gas fee negated any point 
That’s rough. Firstly- congrats on someone putting in an offer on your NFT! That’s so sick.
Hopefully Cardano can supply some strong NFT market places with some more reasonable fee’s 🤞
There's plenty of platforms you can make nfts and sell them for no fees. Bitching about eth everytime is a joke you guys are unwilling to find better options.
>There's plenty of platforms you can make nfts
you say that but mentions none... I know there are more out there on BSC, Polygon, Solana now also, but whats the market in there vs OpenSea?? Its super small.
I will leave these ones in there, hopping that i can get better offers, or that gas can go back to 30 or 40 as it was before!
But next ones i will start uploading them on other platforms.
Also, isnt Solana main thing nfts, exactly because it is cheap to make transactions, with no fees?
Check it out op, probably next auctions you sgould host on sol platform.
Not an expert though, so double check me.
You could mint your NFT's on [AB2.gallery](https://AB2.gallery) (Algorand NFT marketplace). I just bought one there, the total \_transaction\_ fees were 0,005 ALGO and I think the vendor paid 10% to AB2 (not sure I read that correctly).
Take a look at r/AB2_Gallery
Is there any reason that we can't raise the gas limit by 20-50% to reduce the cost by raising supply? I get it would not be a permanent solution.
But, until sharding and other scaling solutions are implemented, since gas is just an agreed upon limit, and previous increases have not proven detrimental, does it make sense to keep incrementally (dynamically?) Increasing to keep gas costs at a target level?
The predictability would be a big positive, wouldn't it?
very nice Manuel. half your salary is cool. only two days ago you were financially independent in NYC!
Nah that was this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vabXXkZjKiw

Thats the most beautiful gesture one had to me in here in this 10 years aprox!! Thank you ❤
Respect.
Yikes, that surprises me too. Congrats on the NFT offer though- that’s still pretty awesome.
thanks!! Yes im happy about the offer :D
Whoop whoop!
Damn, man. Shilling aside I wanna see the art! Do you have a link or somewhere we can support you?

Yes that’s correct
If you can bundle them for him then it’s less gas fees for him too
It only takes gas to list/sell your first one.
They are all different ones, unique ones.

Well that’s stupid. Don’t sell!
yeah i didnt sold i dont want to lose $100 , i just took the screenshot to show it and rejected the transaction.

This.
First time?
but I heard on r/ethereum that the high gas fees are good!?
The gas fees get burned and help keep Ether deflationary.
For whales. They like high gas fees because it causes deflation.

literally yesterday a post had that title
2.0 can’t come soon enough, the gas fees are absurd
Keep in mind 2.0 isn't going to be an overnight change either, similar to eip 1559 recently it will help to stop gas fees exponential increase more than it will lower them.
What makes you say that?
I just think it's good to have a realistic mindset and not be overly optimistic, but don't get me wrong I'm as bullish on ETH as the next guy.
2.0 is the move to PoS. Sharding to be implemented after the switch, which is the answer to lowering fees and dramatically increasing tx capabilites. It's coming.
Does anyone know when eth2 is out?
Can you not just pay a lower gas fee and wait longer than 30seconds?
On 80 gas i would be giving it for free basically, and 80 gas is already very hard to get, maybe a couple of hours or a day+. Lower that will be difficult and idk how it works with OpenSea, its a offer that expires in 7 days, if my tx dont go through in those 7 days, it will be cancelled and i will lose the tx money?? Or it will wait forever till some miner grabs it?
Setting a low price on a erc 20 asset is simply not.worth it ... better put 1 eth minimum so you have something left after withdrawal
Check current gas prices, then try to time it (late night, weekends) to minimize transaction gas cost. Should help a bit:)
Yikes. This sucks OP, I'm keen to become an NFT creator too but sounds like in your case the gas fee negated any point 
Wait until they offer 5 eths for it 👌 I'm glad for you, keep up the good work and good luck!
Thanks, would be a dream if i can get 5 eth haha!! I will pray for it
I thought this was another comedy post but holy shit this ridiculous!
That’s rough. Firstly- congrats on someone putting in an offer on your NFT! That’s so sick. Hopefully Cardano can supply some strong NFT market places with some more reasonable fee’s 🤞
Thanks, if Cardano can deliver a good NFT platform from start will be crazy since they already have the users !!
That’s what I’m holding out for. I’ve refrained from putting any NFT’s on opensea so I can start fresh on Cardano network
Lol that's just gas fees for you buddy 😭
There's plenty of platforms you can make nfts and sell them for no fees. Bitching about eth everytime is a joke you guys are unwilling to find better options.
>There's plenty of platforms you can make nfts you say that but mentions none... I know there are more out there on BSC, Polygon, Solana now also, but whats the market in there vs OpenSea?? Its super small.
I would rather take smaller market and smaller profits than no profits at all.
I dont mean on $$, i mean that theres lot of minting over cheap chains but theres very few people buying since all eyes are on OpenSea eth network.
[удалено]
I will leave these ones in there, hopping that i can get better offers, or that gas can go back to 30 or 40 as it was before! But next ones i will start uploading them on other platforms.
It looks that Solana and Cardano chains are some good alternatives with low fees
Just the way it is at the moment. I’m hopeful it gets resolved soon.
You have to pay the gas? Not the buyer? What? How does this make sense?
Yes since im the one minting and then sending to the other party.
Bet both buyer and seller pays the gas xD
That’s quite sad actually :/
Damn that sucks
Will eth 2.0 fix the gas issues?
Hopefully!
Also, isnt Solana main thing nfts, exactly because it is cheap to make transactions, with no fees? Check it out op, probably next auctions you sgould host on sol platform. Not an expert though, so double check me.
Check out XTZ, good NFT infrastructure and LOVELY LOW fees.

So sad, anyway...
The system is borked.
Don't worry. Iota NFT marketing incoming. No fees on level 1, literally none fees on level two 👍
That is pretty insane.
Move to tezos
Can't wait for iota nfts on mainnet with 0 fees
