Title: WTF IS THIS.
Post by: Potatoh on July 03, 2016, 03:15:30 PM
6 consecutive blocks mined by BW.COM in an hour?? And somehow my one-hour-old tx is still unconfirmed... Why are they rejecting my transaction? Is my fee too low?

Your transaction is of high priority and will be probably confirmed in next few blocks. And it should have been confirmed by now.

It is sometimes so much annoying to wait for so long  ;D

But why are all the last 6 blocks mined by BW.COM? Is this pure luck/coincidence? Does this only happen in this timezone?

Based on size of your transaction you should have used a fee of 0.0003 not .0001. See https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ BW just had a run of luck it happens. It is never a good idea to use .0001 anymore, are you using a wallet that defaults to .0001? You really need to increase the miner fee when you send.

Just luck, time zones have no effects on anything.
There's also a luck component for your transaction to be confirmed, even if the fee is decent, although it wasn't this time.

Your transaction is confirmed .
However you have putted too much low fees try to put higher fees next time .
The estimated fees per 1k is 0.0006 so try to put at least 0.0003 under 500 bytes. As i see you have putted only 0.0001 for 500 bytes . Next time please put higher fees . if you put 0.0006 the transaction will get confirmed the next block :) .

P.S : If you have your answer please lock the thread down.
