Title: Uncommitted transaction??
Post by: crazyfingers on March 27, 2013, 07:23:22 PM
OK, I am new to bitcoin so please bear with me. Earlier today I tried to do a BitInstant payment of $500 to my deposit address on btc-e.com. I filled out the form, printed the sheet, got the money, went to CVS and went through the process. Shortly after, I can see the BTC that I am supposed to receive per the image below.

It's been stuck at this status almost 3 hours. What is the deal with these confirmations? Are they supposed to happen instantly? When will I have access to my BTC? Thanks in advance.

I read somewhere that there are a lot of transactions in the queue currently...

OK, so it will become available eventually?

I looked up the receiving address on blockchain.info and it shows the transaction but has a red button that says "Unconfirmed Transaction!" Just concerns me since it was suppose to be all set within an hour (and I paid a big premium for it...).

Don't worry, a transaction of mine only just got 6 confirmations and it was sent at 17:35 GMT ;)

The network is a bit busy today - it will confirm eventually!

maybe this is related to the block sporking. (i made up the name)

orphaning blocks using old the 'block version' new to bitcoin history:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=156942.msg1688304#msg1688304

I'm also pissed and worried

3 seperate transactions from seperate wallets to seperate places all unconfirmed, some sent hours ago

I too have been waiting quite some time just to get a single confirmation.

What is strange in my case is that when i look up my address at blockchain.info i can see my unconfirmed transaction
which lists 1 transaction. But checking the same address at blockexplorer.com shows 0 transactions.

Mine stuck too 0 conf 7+ hours now, the odd thing is that there are a lot of small blocks <100 even <50 kb why they are not filled to 250 with theese transactions. I don't get it if there is room why not use it ?!

increased traffic could be people moving out of gox to other exchanges

Hi, I sent 7.9 btc to my wallet. It shows 20 confirmation on block chain but it shows me 0 confirmation on my btc-e account.
The transaction is not listed on my history page, but it shows on the bitcoin deposit page as 0 confirmations.

https://blockchain.info/tx/89a51ea735bca437e014e4536974eb442f57900d3fe1d6fbc13d70bc9ca29ced

Kindly help me resolve the issue. Thanks

that's BTC-E's problem. contact them to resolve it.

as the block becomes more filled up, the default bitcoin implementation behavior is to make it more and more expensive to include a transaction. this it to prevent spammers from filling up the blockchain and forcing everyone to potentially store the data forever.
