Bitpay fuckery

I renewed a VPS service today using Bitcoin. The provider uses BitPay to accept payment. The landing page show a "network fee" for bitcoin, shows no fee for bitcoin cash, recommended the fee and then chastised me for using such a low fee (68 sat/b or 16,836 sats) that my transaction may not get processed for 48 - 72 hours. Guess how long my "low fee" transaction took to confirm. Go ahead. Guess. Next block? BINGO. Fuck you BitPay, you are a bad actor in this space.

I am aware I could have paid less for the transaction. No need for further criticism on that point. Just wanted to vent. Thank you.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
