Title: Unconfirmed Transaction - 10 Hours
Post by: Irksome on July 08, 2015, 02:29:30 PM
Hello,

Currently still very noobie with BTC, and for the first time, I'm having this issue where the payments aren't yet confirmed,

Is this normal? it usually takes no longer then 30-40 minutes.

It is not normal to have to wait that long, however someone was recently spamming the network so the number of unconfirmed transactions is quite large and there is a large backlog on transactions. Just wait some longer and your transactions will eventually be confirmed.

Miners have been spamming the network with thousands of small transactions with 0 fee fairly recently. They're calling it 'stress testing', I'm not technical enough to delve into it too deeply but this was causing literally thousands of unconfirmed transactions.

Look at all the unconfirmed transactions - https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions
Unconfirmed transactions are never normally that high.

Last week I was waiting for two transactions to confirm for about 6-7 hours. Providing you sent a fee on the transaction(s) you're waiting for they will get confirmed but it may still take some time, don't worry.

It's not normal. It seems like your first transaction has received 80 confirmations already, and the others will be done shortly. Have patience :)

I was told from another source it was a fork.  ???
What is this fork and why does it keep my transaction at 0 confirmations for the last 2 hours?

Your transaction has been confirmed.  Transactions have taken considerably longer than it typical over the past few days because of an excessive number of transactions being blasted onto the network.
