Bitcoin Forum

from last weeeeek, five transaction had been sent, but until now, they are unconfirmed.

is it associated with segwit, XT, classic? or block halves?

I am just a bitcoin user, and have no idea about this, please help..

thanks anyway.

It is likely not related to anything you listed.

What was the miner's fee for your transaction?

I always set 0.0001 BTC as the miner fee, it usually works

and even without the fee, the transactions can also be confirmed, but just late.

however, it has been take more than 7 days, and still 0 confirm. I think it's unusual

Yes usually it should work, but sometimes there are many other transactions waiting to get into
a block, and they may also be using 0.0001 or even a higher fee so they can get into the block first.
It is important, when setting your own custom miner fee, to check the status of the mempool and
estimated fee, so that you do not underpay, in those situations.

You can figure out the fee you should basically pay from these two links:
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ (https://bitcoinfees.21.co/)
https://bitcoinfees.github.io/ (https://bitcoinfees.github.io/)

You can see the total number of txs in the mempool from these two links:
http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/transactions (http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/transactions)
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/ (https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/)

In addition, if you pay 0.0001 in miner's fee, that amount is based on that your tx size is less than
1000 bytes. You should pay around 0.0001 btc per every 1000 bytes as a basic rule when using custom fees.

If you use specific wallets, like bitcoin core, they can estimate the fee for you and you will only pay what
the minimum amount needed, without overpaying.

Hopefully this isn't too confusing and will lead you toward a better understanding.

Edit: You can no longer set no fee. That has now been phased out.
That transaction will never be placed into a block and is better to pay something than nothing at all.
If it has really taken 7 days and still with no confirmation it is likely because you paid no fee.
Please wait for it to return to your wallet before doing anything with it.

If you have no problem with sharing your Transaction ID, I can take a look and see what the issue
may actually be. But either way, it is mostly likely related to fees.

why not post the tx? Let us figure out the cause and solution.

This, try not to resend the transaction though, it may get rebroadcasted for no reason after that.

I have one small question though, is the network your computer in stable? Are you connected to enough nodes? Sometimes bad network or disruptions can result in transactions not being broadcasted and hence no cfms after days.

I haven't experienced make a transaction which unconfirmed until few days (delay) . Maybe you can contact the customer service and get way to solve the problem from customers service.

I haven't been having any issues with my transactions recently, but the fee you said you are using seems a little low. Maybe you should pump up the fee a bit.

Aside from that, it might just be other transactions getting priority for one reason or another.

Nothing this long, would double check miners fee or any other options you may have hit by accident.
Posting the tixid like people have suggested would help us look into the issue; never seen one this long!

The bitcoin network load varies, sometimes you get more tx, so its better not to use a fixed fees.
Most wallets give a dynamic fee suggestion, you can also use dynamic fee wizard (https://medium.com/@blockonomics_co/dynamic-transaction-fee-wizard-aa97d18e89d7#.ndh8rcsk3) in blockonomics to calculate fees

Use a wallet like Electrum which clearly tells you what is the best fee for you to pay and it adjust automatically to it, usually this way the transactions have faster confirmations, thats what happen to mine at least. When I send bitcoin using electrum and paying the recommended fee maximum I have waited is 10 minutes for 1 confirmation.

Remember when 24-48 hours pass and no confirmation it means that the transaction will not pass and will get back to your wallet. Next time use a wallet which automatically uses dynamic fees and tells you the best fee to pay.

because the fee now on average is not 10k anymore, check the recommended fee, it is much higher, so if you have set to 10k this is why you are stuck for hours or day

i've already expereinced this with two transaction

Thats strange .0001 fees usually takes less than 24 hours to confirm unless theres a stress test going on if youre using bitcoin core you could try reading this guide (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232979.0) by grue. Im guessing ops output is less than the transaction fee thats why its taking too long to confirm
