Title: TX not confirming Post by: mblair on February 16, 2017, 09:01:41 PM TX is stuck and there is no estimated wait time shown in the TX details on blockchain.
Is anyone else having problems like I am right now? Anyone have an estimated wait time because maybe you ran into this in the past? https://blockchain.info/address/3BiWaZbwyywpWG62TAiSmQvwXCHRA2Eri5 Thanks Title: Re: TX not confirming Post by: jackg on February 16, 2017, 09:05:52 PM TX is stuck and there is no estimated wait time shown in the TX details on blockchain.

Anyway, try running this in the transaction accelerater (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) and see if you can get it to confirm that way.

Is anyone else having problems like I am right now? Anyone have an estimated wait time because maybe you ran into this in the past? https://blockchain.info/address/3BiWaZbwyywpWG62TAiSmQvwXCHRA2Eri5 Thanks Yup, I am using the blockchain.info's recommend fees but the transactions doesn't seem to make it through. I've had this earlier this week aswell.. We'll see if it gets confirmed overnight. I'm sickened of paying 0.3$-0.45$ of fees for small transactions.. Thats not what bitcoin is supposed to be right? .I don't understand why alot of miners aren't adopting segwit. Anyone cares to explain it to me? What are the disadvantages of segwit?

I gave it a try to see if it works. just an update.... I used the tx accelerator link and the transaction got confirmed in the next block. I wonder if the website had anything to do with that. Anyways thanks for your help. Title: Re: TX not confirming Post by: dontworry on February 17, 2017, 01:33:53 AM TX is stuck and there is no estimated wait time shown in the TX details on blockchain.

I paid 2 cents to send bitcoin and waited for 1 hour to get the first confirmation. As I am newbie, it was my first and last sending activity so far. Maybe I was lucky, maybe your wallet charge higher fees. Paying 30-35 cents fee is high and can make bitcoin useless. I don't know about segwit. Title: Re: TX not confirming Post by: 13abyknight on February 17, 2017, 06:14:10 AM This was most likely because of the low transaction fee at the time that you pushed this transaction. It got its confirmations so you should be pretty happy about it even though it took some time.
Title: Re: TX not confirming Post by: dontworry on February 17, 2017, 05:59:34 PM Each wallet let you choose fees when making transaction, but usually wallet do it automatically manage the fees in transaction that could be confirmed quickly. Also, don't forget that transaction fee also depends on transaction size (usually about 0.2KB). What affects transaction size? Number of receiver/sender addresses or number of transactions in the sender address? How to spend unconfirmed bitcoins?

Number of receiver/sender addresses or number of transactions in the sender address? How to spend unconfirmed bitcoins? You can't spend unconfirmed transactions. You have to wait until a certain number of confirmations until you can send them from that point as well. Transaction size is effected by the input and output scripts needed (in bytes) mainly. If you click on any bitcoin transaction on a block explorer like blockchain.info and click "show scripts & coinbase" then you'll see the input and output scripts required for your transaction to send.

If you click on any bitcoin transaction on a block explorer like blockchain.info and click "show scripts & coinbase" then you'll see the input and output scripts required for your transaction to send. Actually, you can spend your unconfirmed transaction. But, it's very risky that makes some wallet don't allow this. However, you can spend your bitcoin after that transaction have at least 1 confirmation (but some people says it's better wait until it has 2-6 confirmation) ::) No, you mean for a web wallet. In order to do it in the least risky way then you'd have to compare the scripts and save them. Then you'd also have to have your server broadcasting those scripts in the hope that they'll get confirmed before the owner of the address relocates all of their bitcoins somewhere else (why it's risky). In the main wallets that exist on software, it normally takes over 100 confirmations for a wallet to accept the transaction. Normally a good minimum for a site to accept is 3 confirmations (3 blocks deep) as the block is unlikely tobe orphaned after that point by the network (but it is still possible technically). |
