Title: Help with 0 confirmations? Too low miners fee??
Post by: bigboy1234 on February 07, 2017, 12:55:59 PM
Hey

Never had a problem with getting my transactions confirmed longer than a hour or so.. Been a lot longer this time, is my miners fee too low? Any help would be great.

 I have helped you but in the future, you really need to attach more than 50 satoshis per byte as a fee when the unconfirmed transaction (https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions) pool is large.  At 60 satoshis per by you're looking at 4-18 blocks for the first confirmation.

Best thing to do is look here for a fee estimation:

 The mining pool ViaBTC has a tool that will allow up to 100 transactions per hour to be included in the next block they mine provided you have attached a minimum of .0001 BTC per kb as a transaction fee.
I have only used it when I educate people on this forum how to check for proper fees when they have posted about a lengthy delay for confirmation.  I purposely didn't tell you because I don't want the service to be abused.  I'm not saying that you in particular would abuse it but I'm sure there are people who would attach the absolute minimum fee thinking they could use this service.   I hope this doesn't happen; this is a charitable gesture on the part of ViaBTC and its users and it is beneficial to the Bitcoin community as more and more people learn to use Bitcoin.
