Title: Unconfirmed blockchain transaction
Post by: Jartsu on February 08, 2017, 04:22:28 PM
Hello,

So I tried to send a blockchain transaction. It went successfully, but the only problem with that is there isn't a confirmation after waiting 3 hours. What could I do about it, to get the confirmation there?

Regards

Post the transaction ID please, its difficult to give advice without knowing more about the transaction (most importantly fee per byte).

Also, what wallet are you using?  Did you mean using blockchain.info?  It is unclear since all transactions that are confirmed with bitcoin are on the blockchain.

Hello,

Yeah, I did the transaction through Blockchain. Using a blockchain wallet.

Your transaction only pays a fee of 65 satoshi per byte.  Under the current conditions it is recommended that transactions pay a fee of 140 satoshi per byte.  The lack of sufficient fee is why your transaction is taking so long.

The low fee is entirely blockchain.info's fault. They have something in their software which limits the maximum fee to be 65 satoshis/byte, thus making any transactions made with their wallet have a low transaction fee.

You have a few options here. You can wait and hope it confirms, wait for the transaction to be "forgotten" by the network, or ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For the third option, you can contact the users Quickseller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020) and macbook-air. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=16114).

Use this: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to push your transaction.
Or you can just wait, it will eventually get confirmed (but will most likely take a very long time)
