Title: Transaction unconfirmed
Post by: Interconnector on February 03, 2017, 05:56:07 PM
I've been trading quite a lot in the past, but I've never encountered a delay like this.

https://blockchain.info/tx/01030b2ef08cdabcbee231f9a0f68185282173d7eaa3f0d2a59452901ea42707

The transaction has taken a very long time so far, the fee is not the highest, but I let Blockchain.info choose it, as I usually do.

Any ideas? Perhaps just a stressed network?

Thank you for your time.

65 satoshi per byte is low.  The recommended fee is 100 satoshi per byte according to https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx .

You can make low fee transactions with at least 10 satoshi per byte confirms within few hours by using https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/.  Simply submit your txid there.

Thank you for your posts.

I'm aware that a few others has this issue as well. Doesn't seem too uncommon that a transaction can take a few hours, tried to wait for hours before, but never a day

I have submitted my TXID on ViaBTC, hope it helps.

Edit:

A moderator can close this now, it just made a confirmation now. If it was someone here, thank you very much, if you can prove that you did it, I'll gladly tip you a bit for your time and kindness.

It provably was viabtc that helped you get your transaction in their priority. Times like this it is advisable to send your coins with atleat 25k satoshi as fee or more if you want to be confirmed faster that the other transactions. You can lock your own thread btw. The button is on the lower left part of this thread.
