Bitcoin Payment Protocol - Sucks for us Exodus Users
Good luck trying to make a purchase using Bitcoin over the BitPay if you are a user of the Exodus wallet.
I've been really pleased with Exodus. I love the interface. I love the multi-currency holdings and the easy exchange between coins (well, most of the time). But, it appears that some people out there (cough...BitPay) do not think it's a very "reliable wallet"
It's bad enough we have the high transaction fees to send any amount of BTC (currently over $52), now we get to double up our transactions going from Exodus to Electrum, then through BitPay.
If crypto ever expects to gain wider acceptance among the general populous, this lack of synergy needs to be overcome.
Bitcoin and Bitpay are still letting me down.
Wow, this sucks, I'm starting to get annoyed and discouraged with Bitpay, they also just raised the minimum to $100 per transaction.
Yup. It would have been $52 just to send from Exodus to Electrum and then the BitPay transaction fee on top of that!
What a pain!

It also sucks for users of Trezor and Ledger Nano wallets. A step backwards in my opinion.
Had the same issue with wallets not supporting bitpay and made a quick app to solve that: https://github.com/alexk111/DeBitpay It extracts the transaction requirements (bitcoin address, amount, min tx fee) out of Bitpay invoices (the same way the supporting wallets do), so that we could make direct transactions without moving btc to intermediate "supported" wallets. Hope it will help.
