Title: BlockChain.info takeing 12+ hours to withdraw bitcoin
Post by: DonttreadonmeRP on September 09, 2012, 09:09:41 PM
This transaction was made over an hour ago. Still no confirmation nor does my client show unconfirmed BTC

Ive been using this client just fine on my PC. many transactions. this is my first transaction on blockchain.info wallet after being loaded a couple days ago.

and

https://blockchain.info/address/13SpUK2geH1QBx11Puiha7S5ptcrxV16bs

Both unsonfirmed for hours and not showing up as unconfirmed in my client.

As well as my second account
 
https://blockchain.info/address/1HwguV7ueUhvchKShN8Lkx4iVKtXmY12Qm

I attempted to send the second to a completely different wallet.

I have email blockchain.info and they have yet to get back to me

has 4 confirms now
maybe there is a backlog of txns on the network and it didn't get included in a block straight away, it happens, was there a txn fee with it?
transactions with no fee get lower priority.

** update, it confirmed about 10min after I posted.

never seen a transaction take all day like that. easily about 5 hours before it showed up in client.

i'm seeing it more and more
since satoshidice some pools limit txns they accept
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions shows waiting txns
1314 Unconfirmed Transactions right now
https://blockchain.info/ shows how many of those are getting included in blocks

txns with fees get higher priority too

Trying to close out my last account with blockchain.info

unconfirmed for 12+ hours https://blockchain.info/address/1MPfZytnzfkqw9N9RW8u3sCbuZUemVkvh1


does blockchain.info default settings not use the transaction fee's?
don't mind paying .005 to avoid these crazy wait times but didn't realize I need to set it.

blockchain.info does not use a transaction fee by default.  I'd recommend setting it up to use a transaction fee (I have no idea how) if you really want to withdraw your funds quickly.

Remember, blockchain.info doesn't actually hold any of your coins.  YOU hold them, and you're just using blockchain.info as your interface for using them.
