Are there any coins with a reasonable transaction cost? It seems shocking to me the USD-normalized cost per transaction given that the actual cost should be near zero.

Visa/MC has a cost of like $.25+some percent so I suppose represents the cost of having a trusted oracle with fraud, review, etc.

This seems like it should be the standard to beat for whether a currency can actually be used for anything normal and necessary to get wide uptake.




Look at the website OP linked. The first one, Bitcoin SV, has a median transaction fee of just $0.0001

In fact it's being used in several projects where people send each other micropayments of just a couple cents, like twetch.app


It’s good that it’s used in some places and hopefully will grow in acceptance for stuff like basic purchases.
