Holy crap! $104 dollar fee to convert DEC -> DAI so I can enter the pool? And then however much additional to actually enter the pool? That is messed up. So much for my joining that pool until transaction fees hit a reasonable level (and why does it have to be a two step process to enter the pool -- why doesn't the pool just allow you to enter with one currency and then auto-rebalance like it has to constantly do anyways).
Maybe Splinterlands should offer a service (one-time) to dump into the pool (with one transaction so we can all split the fees). How about it team? I was going to put $1000 in -- but not when I'm hit up for over 10% on the first step of a two-step process. That is just CRAZY!
And the market certainly isn't going to be liquid with that much fee friction.
And providers to the previous pool ARE getting screwed because there is no real way to transfer between pools without paying exorbitant fees. Would the team consider NOT switching to a 50-50 apportionment until gas fees are more reasonable (yes, I know about the current extension but . . . . who knows when fees will go down, if ever)?
