Title: eth transaction taking ages
Post by: podimo on October 13, 2016, 07:42:03 PM
I bought some ether more than 12 hours ago on Shapeshift.

The ether is not in address yet and the transaction is not registered.


I got a message from Shapeshift after 10 hours. They blame the Ethereum attacks

Quote
"Due to the slow-paced Ethereum Network your TXID has not posted to the blockchain quite yet:

The network has been experiencing a variety of attacks for the past week, and as of yesterday, transactions are taking longer than normal (up to 24-48 hours) to confirm. I am keeping an eye on your transaction (and you can too with the link here) and predict it will complete soon. If you have further questions, please let me know."

Is it possible that I have to wait 1/2 days ot there should be something else?  ???

Do you think they would lie to you?

No transaction then the transaction didn't happen. Most likely SS not initiated it for some reason. I had a similar issue recently with Kraken. Turns out after contacting support that they had email me an email to authorise the transaction and I missed the email because it was in Junk.

Everyone should be aware of this,expecially on exchange with tight security,I missed some of my withdrawals because of the confirmation links that they've sent me through email,some of them takes 10 to 20 minutes to arrive..
