Title: What's up with the network? Post by: Ibian on October 10, 2016, 05:25:55 PM So I was sending some coins to my phone for a quick and dirty cash trade. 3 hours later it has still not shown up. Check unconfirmed transactions, over 26000.
What's going on? Some sort of spam attack? Random spike? Anyone know anything? Title: Re: What's up with the network? Post by: Meuh6879 on October 10, 2016, 05:35:54 PM https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

Post by: pereira4 on October 10, 2016, 07:24:47 PM What was your fee? I never have problems with Bitcoin Core's recommended fee, but i have had problems before when I was sending bitcoin from somewhere else... developers need to come together and make all wallets recommend the correct fee to avoid this annoying delay.

I never have problems with Bitcoin Core's recommended fee, but i have had problems before when I was sending bitcoin from somewhere else... developers need to come together and make all wallets recommend the correct fee to avoid this annoying delay. 0.0001 as usual, never had any problems before even during previous attacks. Sent another with 3 times that, it went through as usual.Title: Re: What's up with the network? Post by: Slark on October 11, 2016, 01:42:17 AM Well, It is not that as users can do something about it. It seems that number of unconfirmed transactions is being lowering as we speak.
If number of unconfirmed transaction will reach 10k or more then we can start to worry some more. 5k is not that bad TBH. Title: Re: What's up with the network? Post by: talks_cheep on October 11, 2016, 02:06:04 AM Another reason why btc price will never reach 1000. Confirmation times take way too long sometimes, seems every time you make an important transaction, it never gets confirmed even with a generous fee. It took me hours to send 0.5 btc today, I had to sweat it out before it got confirmed. Most sh1tty and annoying thing. No wonder nobody takes btc seriously anymore.
Title: Re: What's up with the network? Post by: kwukduck on October 11, 2016, 06:34:43 AM I've been warning for this for years but nobody seems to care. Everybody is blind and greedy eventually making them lose everything they have because the system and economy around bitcoin will soon collapse rapidly.
Title: Re: What's up with the network? Post by: redsn0w on October 11, 2016, 09:49:23 AM I use the fee suggested here https://estimatefee.appspot.com/ and I usually got a confirm in 30-40 minutes.

For example, the previous 3 times, you might have created a transaction with 1 input and 1 or 2 outputs, while this time you used 5 or 10 inputs and had 3 outputs (idk what happened, just an example). This might result in the first 3 transactions having suffient fees to get the transaction in one of the next couple of blocks, while this time, it has unsufficient fees to be added to a block swiftly... I have to agree tough that it's very unpleasant if something like this happens to you... Good luck :) |
