Title: Unconfirmed Transaction with (hopefully) adequate fee Post by: felixbrucker on December 02, 2016, 01:55:16 PM The Transaction in question is here: https://blockchain.info/tx/7be23a804e0d526458df216948512d879bafb138c2dd2294aed8e4dda8c4f41a?show_adv=true
no Unconfirmed Input is being used and the fee should be adequate. Anything else wrong with this transaction?

According to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ a fee high enough to get your transaction to confirm quickly is 110 satoshis per byte.

However, the blockchain/mempool is pretty full these days.
If there are more than >15000 unconfirmed transactions in mempool (you can see it in most blockchain explorers like blockchain.info), it is better to use a substantially higher fee than the "normal" 0.0001-0.0002 BTC. I hope there is a sustainable solution to this congestion in the near future (Segwit?). |
