Title: Unconfirmed Transaction Post by: v356mt on May 19, 2016, 09:35:30 AM I'm having trouble understand what is going on with this transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx-index/5eb2af95d344387e4db7fae5b47f7e1a2732672b06078f32df5aa28267eb1732 This has gone unconfirmed for over 3 hours and I have never had this problem before. It appears to me that I have become a victim of double spending. Can someone please help? Thank you!

It appears to me that I have become a victim of double spending. Can someone please help? Thank you! Why this transaction is not yet confirmed is because of the size of it which is 852 (bytes) and the transaction fee of 0.00015 BTC is not enough for this transaction, hope someone will push this transaction to their node.

It appears to me that I have become a victim of double spending. Can someone please help? Thank you! you added a 15000 satoshi fee for a 852 byte tx. This is 17 satoshi's per byte. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ learns us that, at the moment, the recommended fee is 60 satoshi's per byte. That being said: there is no double spend (yet)... You'll either have to create a double spend yourself (in case you were the sender in this tx), using the same inputs but leaving more fee, or you can wait untill a miner decides to add you to a block.

Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction Post by: jacee on May 19, 2016, 09:43:02 AM I don't thinkthat's double spending. It's only normal that some transactions takes up too much of a time beore it get confirms. Just wait for a few more hours. I saw some people also complaining maybe blockchain is just slow.
Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction Post by: v356mt on May 19, 2016, 09:47:48 AM Thanks for the reassuring replies everyone. I have been using bitcoins for a year now and have got 1 confirmation anywhere from 5 minutes up to 1.5 hours, I did not realize it could take up to 24 hours to confirm. There is a confirmation warning stating "this transaction has a none standard input" on block chain and when I googled that phrase all I saw were indications of double spending.

There is a confirmation warning stating "this transaction has a none standard input" on block chain and when I googled that phrase all I saw were indications of double spending. It can even take a lot longer than 24 hours... Usually, the miners will add the transactions with the highest amount of satoshi's per byte. So, if you're unlucky, the majority of the other transactions waiting in the mempool have a higher fee, so you'll just have to wait untill those ones are added to blocks. There is no way of predicting when your tx will be added, it might even be forgotten after a couple of day(s), in which case a new transaction can be generated using the same inputs. In case you're the receiver, you can ask (for example) Shorena to rebroadcast the tx untill it confirms. You can also rebroadcast it yourself, but Shorena is usually friendly and writes a script that rebroadcasts the tx, so you don't have to keep rebroadcasting manually. You'll just have to ask him/her nicely :) Title: Re: Unconfirmed Transaction Post by: MONKEYJUNK on May 19, 2016, 09:53:25 AM Just wait for some minute i see there is so many transaction have been made.

Seems that your transaction is now confirmed, i think someone here has rebroadcast your transaction and got confirmed, now you can lock this thread. |
