Buterin relayed some experiences of his use of cryptocurrencies which highlight how, although things have progressed, over the years, there is still much to be done to make the process as smooth as using cash or contactless payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Buterin Can\u2019t Foot the Bill<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Butrerin began his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vitalik.ca\/general\/2023\/02\/28\/ux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span>blog post<\/span><\/a><span> with a story about how he tried to buy sushi with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/crypto-guides\/bitcoin-btc\"><span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a><span> in 2013, but the transaction failed because the mobile signal wasn\u2019t strong enough. In 2021 he tried to pay for a round of drinks in Argentina with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/ethereum-2-0-a-beginners-guide\"><span>Ethereum<\/span><\/a><span> but had to pay three times the value of the bill in gas fees, which he said he considered a \u201ctip\u201d. A year later, he tried to pay for some more drinks at a different location, but this time he had issues with the default gas amount on his mobile wallet, which also wouldn\u2019t allow him to amend the limit to send the transaction through.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition to these issues, Buterin added that often he has experienced \u201ca surprisingly long time delay between my transaction getting accepted on-chain, and the service acknowledging the transaction, even as \u201cunconfirmed\u201d.\u201d He also expressed his concern about the \u201csurprisingly long and unpredictable time delay between sending a transaction, and that transaction getting accepted in a block\u201d, adding that the transaction would sometimes take \u201cminutes or even hours\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>More Needs to be Done<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>With reference to a remedy, Buterin noted that the implementation of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/ethereum-eip-1559-lands-today\"><span>EIP-1559<\/span><\/a><span> into Ethereum had \u201csignificantly improved\u201d the issues, which should improve over time, but he argued that \u201cUX around transaction inclusion needs to be improved\u201d, allowing users to have more of an idea about what gas is and how it can be altered if the users wants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Such steps are indeed crucial in allowing everyday users to understand how crypto works on a transactional basis and demystifying the seemingly complex issues that lie beneath it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fullycrypto.com\/vitalik-buterin-ethereum-gas-fees-are-too-high-and-complex?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=vitalik-buterin-ethereum-gas-fees-are-too-high-and-complex\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Mark Hunter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mark Hunter1 day agoWed Mar 01 2023 10:48:30 Reading Time: 2 minutes Vitalik Buterin has said that Ethereum gas fees are too high and the way they are presented in crypto apps is confusing Buterin explained several occasions where he had been beaten by inferior crypto infrastructure in the real world The Ethereum founder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":613335,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60544,60543],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-613334","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buterin","8":"category-vitalik"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
