Bitcoin Forum

Hi, I find viabtc transaction accelerator in the forum, I entered my txid in the first minute. Should be the top 100 input in the hour, but after 45 minutes, my transaction is still not accelerated. Do you use it and is it really working?

ViaBTC still needs to find a block for your transaction to be included. That can take several hours.
I've used it and it works.

Thanks very much, I try this hour again for my transactions, I hope they will find a block asap.

what ViaBTC does is that they take 100 transactions and include them in the next block they mine. they mine at least 1 block an hour.

you need to see the message saying "acceleration succeeded" and if it said "maximum reached" it means there are already 100 transaction in their list and there is no room for you and you need to try later.
p.s. the messages may be a little different since i am saying them from memory

I have tried the viabtc accelerator for my transaction and really it worked and i got my transaction confirmed in 15 min, when it was originally showing 84 hrs pending time. As soon as i typed my transaction id i got confirmation of "Accelerator Succeeded" and my transaction got confirmation.

I can also can confirm it works really well.
Had a stuck transaction because I was testing Electrum last night and put in the lowest possible tx miner's fee the program allowed. Something like 30 sat/byte :-[
I knew it would never confirm with out a little push. ;)
So I put it into the viabtc accelerator and after 3 hours of not moving within 1 hour it moved and confirmed.
Woke up this morning and it was fully confirmed with 8 confirmations no problems reaching it's destination wallet address.

It certainly works. They have been rate limiting it so it can be hard to get your transaction accepted. Some other pools that support SegWit should offer the same service. If you use latest Electrum with RBF and dynamic fees enabled you will not need it. If you send replaceable you can always bump the fee up yourself.

I tried viabtc a few days ago after waiting for a withdrawal to my account. Initially, I can see thru blockchain that my it is still no confirmation so I panicked because I'm been waiting for it for at least 8 hrs ago. So I used viabtc to try to see if it works. I did like 3x on its website and on the 4th try it says its already confirmed so I went on my wallet and the bitcoin is already in it. So I guess it really works and will try to use on my next stuck transactions.

You should not have stuck transactions if you use a wallet that has good dynamic fees like Electrum. Just set the fee slider to high.

I have never tried this one before, all you have to do is to wait for it, though it will take some time because there are also transaction inside that accelerator that you have mentioned which are in the process, just like in the blockchain, it is First Come First Serve. So, if this transaction of yours didn't get confirmed, it will be going back to you, if you are the sender, or to the other person, which is the original sender.

You don't have to worry that you might lose your bitcoin forever, because you could also contact the support this according to this problem, just to make sure that your bitcoin won't go anywhere else where it is not belong.

I have never tried it before but it looks like it work as I see a lot of the community members saying it is. Do they charge a fee for including your transaction in the next block they mine? Or it is free? If is free, then I will use it next time if my transaction has been stuck or not yet confirm in blockchain.

Using my Blockchain wallet at 120 satoshi per byte (a total of about 3mBTC) as a transaction fee, it took nearly 2 days to confirm.  Transactions are in a terrible state and while fees are a way to get them through if you really need to, it's nice that viabtc is providing a service which helps remove the congestion, especially for new Bitcoin users who are less likely to understand the technicality behind the days and may view Bitcoin as a poor currency (because frankly, this aspect of it is right now).

Thanks for your answers guys, my my transactions were smoothly accelerated, it is real, I can confirm it. They are the very good mining pool can offer so good service. My transactions were paid with more than 0.0001 btc, weren't confirmed during 1 day, only viabtc can help me.

Can you tell me about the time range to get accelerated? because i try to use it but it seems like my transaction is not accelerate.

In my own experience its working but due to many people are using it right now and flooded it is hard to be included in 100 list.. and hope that they can increase this . because sometimes i really need to speedup the transaction if i really needed.. and sometimes that tool are not working or i just feel that it takes too long before they can find the blocks. .

There is similar question but you can check it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1743011.0

I think some body is abbusing this service and purposely inclue lower than standard fees.
Read this:

From:http://coinour.com/index.php/review-viabtc-bitcoin-transaction-accelerator/ (http://coinour.com/index.php/review-viabtc-bitcoin-transaction-accelerator/)

If viabtc got a another block your transactions get confirmation too.

I just tried but I am getting an error message of "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later".
Does it mean they are over flooded right away ? I just wonder first I need to wait for accelerator and then for confirmations ?

There are some threads related to this topic. You could read them through and will know the answer.

Only if they find a block.

It is really working, I tried it once, you will get your transaction confirmed when they find a new block, and be sure you really submitted the transaction id and recaptcha, you need to be first 100 submits in every hour, so you had better input the info in the first minute of every clock.

It does. Basically they just include your transaction on the next block they mine you it will have a higher chance of getting confirmed sooner than just leaving it and get found by some miner.

Yep, it works, but you have to be in the first 100 submitted transactions every hour..
I'm trying, but everytime i get message that limit is exceeded.
Do anyone know when the timer is resetting? Is it full hour?

I think so.
after encountering warning message, I will submit in the next hour and will be sucessful.

And this is the problem with Bitcoin... having to use a "high" fee setting, and that seeming to be acceptable.

I like accelerators more than segwit, lightning network or any of the other proposed fixes for unconfirmed transactions.

Some wire transfers charge $50 or more in fees.

Those who claim 50 cent in bitcoin transactions is a "major problem", don't appear to have used wire transfers much.

...

I have a small incoming transaction that has not confirmed in 11 hours.  So I gave ViaBTC's service a shot to speed up my confirmation.  I put in the trx no. and they informed me that the limit was exceeded (greater than 100 / hour).  I read something elsewhere that suggested that the hour might start "on the hour", so I tried again at some 30 seconds after 11:00 PM US ET.

"Acceleration succeeded"

Now I am waiting on the next block to see if it really did...

Yes it is working but most of the time they remain full of transactions. If you got lucky and get your transaction included than it should get confirmed in the next block that will be mined by VIABTC.

This type of accelerators can't be a permanent solution we need to get segwit activated to solve this block size issue.

Not only wire transfers the one who have used paypal, skrill etc before can understand the pain and fees they have to tackle. Bitcoin is ultimate payment solution.  ;D

I only used their accelerator once and found it to be working good. My transaction was unconfirmed for around three to six hours and so I searched for way to accelerate Bitcoin transaction. I then found out about ViaBTC transaction accelerator and used it. The transaction got confirmed pretty fast. I am not entirely sure if it is because of luck or ViaBTC. However chances are that it is because of ViaBTC.

I think that it is not about transaction fee. Probably more important is time of submitting. There is limit of 100 submits per hour, so in my opinion the most important is get there straight after limit restart. But I can not find information when they make this restart. Maybe it is every full hour...?

the accelerator has proved to be a handy tool judging from the congestion we all run into trying to get our transactions confirmed faster, why not share this with other mining pools to avoid backlogs or go for a bigger blocksize.

It works but you must be quick when submitting your transaction id cause the 100 submits per hour limit is very low, and within a minute all the slots are filled.
Also according to their site 'users can submit any TXID that includes a minimum 0.0001BTC/KB fee to ViaBTC' has anyone tried to accelerate any transaction with a fee lower than this?

When I'm trying to make a transaction after the transaction ID made I always use this accelerator, but there are sometimes that the transaction are stock with in 1-2 hours but mostly it confirms within 30 minutes after I use this accelarator.

does it work with electrum?  I pay around 0.55 fee to send using electrum now.  Back then the fee was 15 cents and less etc on electrum.  I dont need the btc to be sent that quickly so i ask about this.

Yes, they really work and there is nothing to doubt in transaction accelerators because they include your transaction in blocks they mine. For example, I had transaction with 0 confirmation for 10 hours and after I entered my transaction on viabtc website, after 2 hour my transaction had 4 confirm. I doubt confirmation was because of viabtc.

That bolded line seems to contradict with the rest of your post, as you are saying that it works and then doubting that it works. There's an easy way to check if your transaction was confirmed by ViaBTC though. Use a blockchain explorer that shows what block the tx was mined in (ie blocktrail), find the block and see what the coinbase signature shows to find out which pool confirmed it.

Maybe it's only a typo or maybe that's what he want to say.
I tried to check those transactions I made that I used viaBTC accelerator and its true that some of them relayed by viaBTC.

Thanks for the info BTW  I didn't know also how accelarator works I just use them believing that my TX will be confirm faster, I mean on how to confirm(by myself) that it was pushed/confirmed by those accelerator on the network.

This accelerator is presented by viabtc to increase support for bitcoin unlimited but it doesn't seem this have increased support for BTU  ;D

Actually viabtc own a large mining farm and when you will put your tx id in their accelerator they will save it in their database and they will prioritize your tx in top of every other tx to be included in block they will mine next.

Well I just test-fired the accelerator 3 minutes ago for a small unconfirmed trx (a payment) from about 9 hours ago.  

"Acceleration succeeded"

Now I will see how long it takes from here.  Last time I used the service it took about two hours to confirm.

I have lost patience there as each time i have been trying the only thing i got is a message saying the hourly limit has been reached, ect... With 100 per hour it is just ridiculous rate and at the end it may better to wait than trying every hour and filling the captcha. I saw a similar service but need to pay with a... credit card... lol

It's not ridiculous at all. It's a charity-like service for people free to use. If they don't put any restrictions to work, then it will allow people to abuse their service, plus it would make them a spam target.

Imagine this ~ instead of picking up low fee transactions, they could also just pick up whatever other transactions as that would net them a higher income through fees.

I am sure the paid one you mention that requires credit card payment is from btc dot com? It's a disgrace that they don't allow people to pay with Bitcoin. But hey, no one is forced to use their silly tool.

Yesterday I was sending a transaction and try to use the accelerator but I've clicked a link of suggest to increase the accelerator fees up to $7,99 and my response is WTF is that from the bitcoin dot com? It looks like a silly thing.

Do you mean this site's bitcoin accelerator? BTC.com,  pushtx.btc.com. Well, the most annoying part of this accelerator is even you have only small amount to send, e.g. 0.002 then it requires almost $5 to accelerate the transaction. If all accelerator is the same with this site that requires to pay with that ridiculous rate, then I'd rather sleep and wait than to pay with that amount.

You must have horrible timing. I've used it countless times, for mostly consolidation transactions and submitting others' low fee transactions, and if I submit in the first 10 minutes of the hour, I've always been successful. Also, if you submit in the first 3 minutes, it's almost guaranteed that you will get in.

What time in the hour do you try?

It failed for me yesterday saying the send was not valid. So had to put it in a couple times.
Even the site timed out and could not be contacted today for myself.
So it is getting hit hard lately. But the 100 times per hour hasn't come up in the last couple days cause the transactions are back logged for a the past week.

Paypal is more profitable if used instead of such an accelerator :D why the hell would I pay directly to a service to transfer my funds when I can include less than a buck as fee and my transaction being confirmed in less than 20 minutes?
Every time I decided to use viabtc to accelerate some TXs I got the limit warning notification meaning there are too many people know about it and this is no longer a viable solution.

Actual confirmation took some FOUR HOURS after getting notified by ViaBTC's service that "Acceleration succeeded".  I had gone to bed, so I do not know whether or not it finally was confirmed in a ViaBTC-won block.

The service is free, but you have to get in pretty fast, I try to get my trx accelerated withing the first three minutes after the hour...  So far, I have used the service some eight or so times, all with success.

actually i am not trying viabtc to accelarator my transaction because as i know, if i add standard fee at least in 0.0005 btc, then i think the transaction is not going to long to see in the network. so far, when i want to send any amount, i will make sure about the fee and i think 0.0005 btc is my default fee and it will get 1 confirmation in under 15 minutes. so i think we don't have to make small fee but try to add the fee like what i do. the longest time that i gets confirmed is about 2 hours and i am fine with that because i think the network is overload so there will be many transaction that needs to confirmed.

When I can I use a fee of between BTC0.0009 - BTC0.002 (say $1 - $2), depending on how many unconfirmeds there are and how complex my transaction is.  I have had trx with a BTC0.001 take two or more hours to confirm (lots of unconfirmeds, maybe 50,000, when I did that one).

So, it depends for me.  When I send BTC, it is almost always "important" (I am impatient).  When I receive small amounts (from Bitmixer.io for example), I will then use  ViaBTC's accelerator service as Bitmixer only includes a small fee.

Yes, it is really working for me. Whatever the amount of my transaction is I keep on using this for assurance of fast confirmation.

Your transaction should be confirmed for the next block. Actually I used to use it once I had something to send and it works all the time.

And my transaction's are not even reaching 1 hour before confirmed.

 It is my first time I using this service due delay of last transaction I had sent,it is unconfirmed since two days! I have been paid 0.00017524 as fee for this transaction.

It was working fine for me.
I have tested with many transactions, multiple times (more than 100 transactions) and was always working.
I recommend it!

I just tried to use this on one my brother was having issues with will post if it works or not soon as I find out

I don't have an idea with that issues that you are saying. I'm using this accelerator most of the time and I can say that this is working great to me. But there are times that I don't need to use this accelerator because I'm very shocked that some of my transactions are being instant confirmed. This is a big help for those people that are forgetting to pay some fees.

See it does work but the big issue on it is the amount of TX's that they accept per hour (correct me if I'm wrong but I think 100?) So now that the problems relating to scaling have come to light and people don't want to pay through the roof tx fees, people would rather use something like this in order to accelerate for free. The one problem with Viabtc is that it's getting clogged with the amount of demand they have for it and they simply don't change the amount of supply.

But, yes it does work and it works well when you actually get in without an issue. But you can't ask for so much out of something which is a free service in the end.

That's not a problem IMO it just like that they limit the acceleration for transactions to avoid some abuse of people who dont want to pay with the receommended/normal fees. That's there fault in the very first place.

I use it everytime I send Bitcoin with low transaction fees and it absolutely works with me. YOu can try it yourself and see how awesome can viabtc be. I respect the developers who make the website and the tool for us. However, it is only a temporary way to boost the confirmation. If bitcoin do not have a good solution with the confirmation issue, it will soon be destroyed

Not good as it used to be because too many people are using it?
100 accelerations are allowed/hour. It is pretty much the same, when they mine block they include your tx in it. Nothing has changed.

When more people know about this accelerator then it is higher chance that you won't be lucky enough to submit your transaction.
So I think it is pretty significant change. Obviously nothing with the tool itself wasn't changed...

I know about only this tool. Do you guys know if there is another tx accelerator out there?

I guess viaBTC is the only free and effective bitcoin tx accelerator. Because sometimes back I read about a paid services to accelerate our transactions and for this we need to pay them using cards, i.e. to have bitcoin transactions faster we need the help through fiats. Total controversy.

Here is the discussion topic on BTC.com's accelerator : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1816647.0

ViaBTC has become useless ...
An error message is always displayed: "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later."
This is because the number of transactions that can be accelerated is very small ...

AFAIK there is a limit on how many transaction can be submitted per hour, so if you try to submit a transaction to them in a bad time you will recieve that message, maybe try to send again in xx:01 so your transaction will be accepted by them

I know there is a hourly limit, I tried many times, at different times, without success.
The service has become very popular and the limit (too low) is reached immediately.
Unfortunately I don't know another similar service (free)

And it's because there are so many users need it and use it, so you can't blame this free service when sending transactions as you want it to be accelerated because they are just helping without asking anything.
Anyways you can contact viabtc and request if they can add more numbers which is >100 to be exact, coz someone says that they only accept 100 transactions per hour so...

I don't blaim them, I just said it is impossible to use atm.
I do not think I need to contact them, I'm convinced they know that this number is too small.
If they decide to increase this value they will do it (whether someone ask for this or not).

I use their free acceleration tool 2-3 days ago and it work for me,but since they offer only 100 transaction per hour this is very small number for demand so high.Only way to get in is to be very fast and submit your data at the right time.For the time being I have always been successful in my acceleration.

We should contact them and ask if they can increase this number,and some donation would certainly be nice since they provide this free service for some time.

It's the disadvantage of spreading that throughout the forum, they can't cater submissions everyday.

I've been using them earlier and I'm one of the satisfied user. But I tried not to use them anymore because of this experience.

And my transactions are becoming faster just by putting up some additional miners fee.

Honestly viabtc is using the free transaction acceleration to spread their propaganda.  I can say they are useful and working if we timed that there is still slot for the hourly limit.  But on top of that is the pop-up that statement against bitcoin core.  if they are willing to help to push transactions, they should at least not cap their limit to only 100, that almost do nothing to help the entire unconfirmed transactions.

Initially his service had no popup with that propaganda message. ViaBTC added it later. It is their choice and they can do whatever they want with their service or website.
They don't have do anything, yet they offer 100 transaction (which is not much, but again it is still something) to be pushed for free.

If you don't like popups with propaganda you can use similar but paid service like https://pushtx.btc.com (https://pushtx.btc.com)

Due to its transaction limit , viabtc never worked for me. Every time i see it beyond the transaction limit.
The one and only perfect transaction booster i found working is http://pushtx.btc.com  but it has a little fee for every transaction.

It's a free service that they offer. Don't forget that alongside this service that allows cheapskates to have their transactions confirmed, they are a pool that look to grab the most (financially speaking) out of minting a block. See it as a charity service. At least, it's better than those accelerator services that look to charge premiums as they are only out on making profits....

Try to submit tx on full hour, if you don't succeed there is no point of trying it until next hour  ;)

Isn't it easier to pay higher fee than to pay low fee and than pay someone to confirm transaction? 

I experience to hard to succeed in viabtc to accelerate my bitcoin transaction  i tried 10x but not working but after waiting an hour starting from sample 1:59am you should ready to send yours so that you can get spot fast in 100 transaction that they can only get..
This is still working for me as of now base in my experience because of delay transaction past few days ago..

Guys, is your service working right now? I have been trying to send my transcation for past 24 hours
Could you make it paid service? Customers are ready to pay for this

it's definitely worked in the past. i guess these days it's under massive load so it's not going to be the magic bullet it was before. i just tried a sample tx and it said the id didn't exist.

viaBTC requires you to be one of the first 100 people to request in the hour, on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Based on https://blockchain.info/pools, viaBTC has a 7.5% share of the total hashrate of the bitcoin network, meaning that there's a 7.5% chance that the next block will be mined by them. So it's evident that the tx accelerator is not for getting your transaction in the next block, or as fast as possible, but for just getting your transaction in. Maybe your fee was too low or you don't have enough coins,

That's what I have recommended in the past, catch their service as close to the top of the hour as possible.  Every (or at least almost every) time I have done that, I got their "Acceleration succeeded" note.  Then it was a few minutes to four hours until actual confirmation.  I have about 10 transactions that worked with them, though I have not used the service for two - three weeks.  So I don't know how it's working with about 82,000 unconfirmeds now.....

Still, a free service is a good thing.  I salute ViaBTC for doing this, even if a gimmick.

there are some service that requires payment for pushing your transaction, you should try this but the fee is not cheap tho

https://pushtx.btc.com/

For me anecdotally it works however there is no real tangible proof that it does work, everything is done on their end and you really can't verify anything. All I can say is that definitely have to get in before 20 minutes after the start of an hour otherwise you're not gonig to get a spot on their accelerator.

It's a free service after all. I mean even if you get nothing in return it'll make you feel like your transaction is confirming faster... And also it only takes 2 seconds to fill it out so it's worth it to "waste" time on this, considering Viabtc being a trusted company and it's free. You have nothing to lose by using their service.

Once you use that services in which you're be obligated to pay some bucks for the sake of speeding up your transaction, you just lost the point of using bitcoin for its cheap fee (even if now's that not cheap anymore).
But well, for some whale, few bucks doesn't really matter as long as their money could arrive fastly. How about just buying a contract on viabtc and uses the special privilege of accelerating transaction? is it worth it?.

I have tried viabtc to accelerate my transactions but all the times I got error message of over flow or something similar to that. Do we need to watch and wait till they will mine a block so that they will start accepting new transactions to accelerate to be included in their next block to be mined by them.

I do see almost all the people got chances to find this services more useful to them, but unfortunately I have tried with them when they could not accept no more transactions for their next push.

Check out this, it happened yesterday while there were 170000 unconfirmed transactions:

https://i.imgur.com/8BS8I7s.png

Transaction went trough with only 5K satoshi fee within 40 minutes.

466096 block was indeed mined by ViaBTC

You're wrong. You can verify if they did mine the block that had your transaction in it by simply checking the transaction ID > Block/ Included In Blocks (it differs depending on which explorer you use), click the block number > check the part where it says "Mined By" or "Relayed By".

1 minute before the hour reset is more than enough.

I've never had any issues with their services, as long as you attempt to accelerate on first few minutes of the hour reset (which is 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 and so on, by default forum time).

That's perfectly normal since it falls above the minimum fee of 0.0001BTC/KB ratio.
0.0001 BTC/KB - Acceptable
0.00005 BTC/500 bytes - Acceptable
0.000025 BTC/250 bytes - Acceptable

Why use this service when you can easily pay a bigger fee?
I understand that 50cents are a lot if you send 2 bucks worth of btc but complicating your life with all those services.... not worth the effort.


You can easily see if it works or not.
If your transaction is included in a viabtc block and in the next block there are no transactions with a smaller fee than yo payed it means it worked fine

 :o

A few months ago was very good to use viabtc, few people knew the existence of this service, but today has become a nightmare to use viabtc...


There are people who do not need to use viabtc

It's obvious that a free transaction accelerator is going to end up being crap.  If everyone could offer it then miners would basically just be willingly not accepting any transaction fees, which they'll never do.  It ends up with people just paying the lowest fees that they can get away with and exploiting the service which ends up making it near useless for people with real problems.

People should just use a paid service or not use any service at all.

I think people should think about paying a little more to the minor itself than to pay on these services. That'll be a better idea to use Bitcoin. If you pay someone to help you fasten your transaction then there'll be no meaning in saying that Bitcoin is a low fee and fast transaction technology.

I used this service only once, I was waiting money for days and I needed it very much, I saw about viantc here on forum and used it only then, that was more then month ago. This is good service when some sender don't wish to pay big fee, and when someone needs money like I did in that moment, for sending its easy to adjust fee, but for receiving we can't always count that sender will pay high fee.

It's a poor strategy if you deliberately include small fee just to use ViaBTC's accelerator later.

This tool is now widely known and bitcoin network is spammed like never before, it will be very hard to push your transaction with 100 TX/hour limit.

Treat any transaction accelerator as a last resort, and always include proper TX fee (if you want achieve decent confirmation times).

in my experience viabtc accelerator has worked everytime even if it takes a few reminders... when you hit accelerate and it isnt confirmed within the hour then go back and enter txid and hit accelerate multiple times( 4-5 times) then wait up to an hour and it should be good to go. if not just rinse and repeat and eventually you'll come in at a time when it can locate a block for your transaction. prevention is always better then a cure though so don't skim on the transaction fees yo. i usually make sure if im not using coinbase which recommends how much to use( i usually go with that when using coinbase) i set atleast 0.65 - 0.7 mbtc as my transaction fee. it also helps if you don't use a mixer.

Wow! Brilliant Idea: pay more, get more.  ::)

Even one month ago I could to add transaction on any time I wanted and still their 100 limit wasn't filled and now, I tried to add transaction on UTC time and after 4 second it was already filled. On last try, I was lucky enough and got transaction accelerated but I had to watch clock's seconds. That's bad and also they almost they turned from free to paid because of adding so much paid services like customer service and 0.01btc paid acceleration. They were good at first, now simply useless but still let this to excist.

Viabtc transaction accelerator is not working to me anymore. I guess the reason is because it's already crowded and it was spread throughout the forum and being shared to those people that wants to accelerate their transactions. But as I observed, the transactions nowadays are seemingly that fast.

Viabtc, I used it long ago and it was working just fine after 4-5 hours. It takes time for finding out your txid block in the given node I gues
s. There it will take a lot of time to workout the math and then afterwards making your transaction accelerated.

It is actually working, but their hourly limit of transactions that they help accelerate is reached within a minute.

If you want your transaction to get accelerated, submit your TXID between 00:00-00:01 (could be any hour, but just make sure you submit your TXID under that one minute).

I must however add that they also have a premium option for you to make use of their service. It will allow you to bypass the hourly limit, and even include zero fee transactions.

Conditions are as follow ~ you need to purchase a cloud mining contract, or you must be a miner working for their pool. But I guess people will just stick to the free option.

I've used it 3 times, and it worked great. Can recommend!

I thought it will not acceptable because according to their faq i was read that they 0.0001 is the minimum fee..
I thought its not working for lower fee or below 100sat /bytes
But when i was experience of lower fee i think 50sat/per bytes i tried to use the service of viabtc it few hours my transaction was confirm so i think even small fee can be acceptable except for zero fee..

Yes they added a premium option and it's reasonable so that they can earn some good amount from their service. Maybe when I'm trying to use viabtc accelerator it was already crowded and I'm thinking if this tool is implementing a first come first serve basis. Well since I stopped using them, transactions that I'm doing with are being confirmed fast.

Currently they have a little number of users so I think you will easily find your place with them but in the future if the users for accelerating their transaction increased then it will be like the normal system of transactions. The transactions will take the same time as on normal network.

iam try and use viabtc accelerator is succes and really working
if you very long time confirmation youre sending bitcoin is good use viabtc, the best service bitcoin transaction accelerator

Yes, it used to work most of the time for me but in recent days, my transactions are taking very less time so I don't go for it. However, one of my recent transactions is taking unusual time and even on viaBTC, the tool is showing 'submissions are beyond the limit' message so I guess it is something transaction backlog issue with the network or the portal included less fees with the transaction.

My transaction was stuck for 7 days, because my wallet did not adjust the fee automatically and i did not notice that it was at minimum before processing the paymeny. Today I used viabtc accelerator and it magically went through! Recommend the service to everybody with such problem.

Is it really that difficult to browse through this thread for an answer to your question?

If you get the 'beyond limit' notification, it means that you are too late with submitting your transaction. You need to submit your transaction under the first minute of each hour.

After that first minute you will be shown the 'beyond limit' notification. It was first within 5 minutes, then 4, then 2, and now within the first minute.

Might as well just skip to the inevitable end; hit submit on ViaBTC under the first hundredth of the first picosecond of each hour.

I like your humor there TBZ, but it is unfortunately TRUE.  Over the past several days, I was unable (in a difficult location to time things exactly) to get a trx into ViaBTC's service.  And today, after failing twice (both times withing three minutes after the hour) I was able to get my transaction and the captcha in within ONE MINUTE.  OK, that worked, and the actual confirmation came soon (as I was AFK) after.

I used to be able to jump in at 10 minutes or so, now you are correct: within ONE MINUTE seems about the only reasonably sure way of using their service.

Perhaps someone has automated the process (gaming the system)?

Very likely. It's not for nothing that random people have started with 'accelerating transactions' as service, either for free (probably in return for trust), or for a tip. In most cases they make use of ViaBTC's free accelerator tool. If this trend continues, and it indeed turns out to be an automated process (which again is very likely), this tool has basically no use anymore, unfortunately.

I have had a very bad experiece with viabtc these couple of days always getting the 'submissions are beyond the limit'
i was actually convinced that these guys were out of service but am surprised to learn that they are operational
and if i needed to use their accelerator need to submit my tx within the fisrt minute of every hour which is becoming impossble to do due to high demand of this service

Are you even surprised by this? There is really no wonder that with current level of bitcoin network congestion, troubles with high fees and long confirmation times transaction accelerator will be overloaded too.
Until people didn't know about it it was easy to reserve your spot. Nowadays it just totally impossible. I don't even try to hit that window of opportunity anymore I will just wait for scaling update.

Yes it works great (if accepted)

Everyone complaining again about transaction times...so many desperate people...so many views this thread has.

Imagine how superbloated blockchain would be if indeed blocks were unlimited in size...everyone and their mother would spam the network...

How does this work if i have bitcoin on electrum?  So i could send btc free of charge with this program with electrum and it sends fast?  When i send btc using electrum, it uses the default fee so it cost to send btc but it sends fast.

Yes , ofcourse this is working site for the acceleration of the Bitcoin confirmation of the transactions , but I don't think that it is working well .
Usually the site give the notice that submission are beyond the limit , please try again after sometime .
But reality behind this is that they are asking for the fee to pay for the confirmation of your transaction.  Because I remembered that in the past I made a single acceleration accelerated successfully within hour but next time I didn't get any response , instead of submission are beyond the limit .
So I think they are working well but for the first time user they serve the service free and for next time they need money to do our work and that can be done through the email contact at the official email.id of viabtc.com .

it's an accelerator which only makes your transaction get included to block by viabtc freely for a transaction which has under the recommendation fee. It's not a tool that'll make you can send bitcoin freely and fast. It's just to help people, and keep in mind. 0.0001 BTC / KB is required to make your transaction eligible for using this.
One more thing. Electrum has nothing to do with this stuff.

viaBTC has approximately 7.5% of a chance that the nest block will be mined by them. They do this by controlling 7.5% of the total hash rate in the network. The accelerator's aim is not technically for confirming your transaction as fast as possible, but just for getting your transaction into the block. Moreover, viaBTC requires you to be one of the 100 users in an hour and it works on a first-come-first-serve basis. In general, I guess it could be said that the accelerator works, but not highly effectively.

Well, recently Antpool has launched a similar service as ViaBTC an accelerator and they seem to accept much more than 100 transactions per hour.

Now what we need is for Bitfury, BW, Slushpool, BTC.com and hopefully other honest mining pools to provide such a service completely free of charge.

However I doubt it if they are truly the miners which we thought they were if not doing this then they are hostile and that's when we could tell

Good from bad, hostile and greedy from friendly and helpful.

It's kinda ridiculous for every mining pool to have an accelerator, inefficient third-party CAPTCHA for every BTC TX. "Are you sure you really want to send that BTC?" LOL

Yeah antpool has recently released a new bitcoin transaction accelerator and i would say that it was a great move from them.

It would make sense for the pools to at least join forces and create a unified accelerator until the UASF is activated and hopefully this ridiculous bitcoin transaction fee can be finally uplifted from the bitcoin network.

Viabtc transaction accelerator is now pretty much unusable as you can't get a txid submitted unless you just wait theer for an hour straight, but if you do get your txid submitted, it's legit.

Viabtc 'is a thief.
Do not do business and trust

in the end the block size would be the same and the number of transactions would not change, so the essence of the problem would still be there

Why are they thieves ?
Open a thread in the scam accusation and tell us your story.
Otherwise this is bs.
So in the end we all are going to use transaction accelerators and the result is going to be...wait it won't solve anything.
It will actually make thing worse.

Transactions with smaller fee will make it through and people that are not fast enough to get in in the first minute will have to pay even more as there will be less room.

Accelerators won't solve a damn thing.
It's the code that needs change.

Correct. Accelerators are there only to get out of network congestion situation. They won't confirm until a block is hit. It wouldn't be in place if an action had been taken earlier.

Right now I don't think there is a use of any accelerator since fees ATM is low and there is low transactions in mempool as well. Even a transaction passed at 60-80 says/byte will pass in 7-8 hour.

I had a tx with 130 satoshi waiting for 18 hours in the mempool.
The number of transactions in the pool has gone down but the size of the tx has increased.

Also take a look at how many tx have been in the past 72h with over 300satoshi
http://bitcoinfees.21.co/

There have been more transactions with over 300 than under 100 in the past 72h.

I too have seen many people recently trying to offer free services for accelerating the transaction. ViaBTC worked well for me, used the services many times and it's the best way to come out of the traffic congestion.

Same for me, as long as you put at least 100 satoshi/byte fee and submit it at the turn of the hour you really can't fail. Of course they may take a few hours but for such low fees its fine anyway.

...

I just got an "Acceleration Succeeded" at ViaBTC's service, posting it some 15 seconds after my computer's clock hit the top of the hour.  It is for a small incoming trx with only some 233 Sats/Byte, call it $1.57 for a simple trx.

I expect it will work like it almost always has, actual confirmation within an hour or so, only once was it over two hours (past ".. Succeeded"), and a few times at the next block.

I just push two transactions. It is true that i have to try few times, but finally after full hour i hit empty spots  ;D

On website i read that transaction must have at least 10k satoshi fee.. but here on Bitcointalk people say that transaction must be over some bit-per-transaction limit. What's the truth? Someone tested it?

It's not 10K satoshi fee, it's 10Ksatoshi/KB.

Yes, it is truth, and yes it is tested. Just make sure your low fee is high enough so you can use viabtc service.

Transaction was confirmed yesterday in about an hour after I used ViaBTC's service.  Every time I have gotten their "Acceleration Succeeded" note, my trx went through relatively quickly.

But now you have to act fast at the top of the hour as so many people want their trx confirmed, in my case it is receiving small payments.  When I send, it is almost always "important" so I just pay up.

I was tried  viabtc transaction accelerator and its worked for me many times.I used their free service few month before when my transaction unconfirmed whole days and I accelerate my transaction viabtc got confirm within 2 hours.problem is sometimes transaction not Succeeded and its show error again again.

I use electrum.  I have a sending fee each time and with dynamic fees checked, its not that cheap to send btc even small amounts.


Can i use this with electrum?  So if i use this accelerator, does that mean i dont have to pay any fees at all with electrum?  How long on average does this take?

it does not matter which wallet you used to create the bitcoin transaction. what matters is what amount of fee you included in your transaction.

these days if you include anything above 100 satoshi per byte your transaction will probably be confirmed fast.

for using the Viabtc accelerator you just need to include at least 10 satoshi per byte fee in your tranasction and then copy paste that transaction ID in their website and click the button. if you see the "acceleration successful" message on top, then you are done if not you have to try again later.

you can also read the details at the bottom of that acceleration page.

p.s. the time it takes is usually about an hour or so until ViaBTC finds a new block.

I think you will be still need to pay for a fee for every transaction in electrum the viabtc is just speeding up or accelerate your transaction .
It takes hour before your transaction get confirm if you use viabtc like other said if they found a new block your transaction will be include..
As of now i setup my fee per kb is 0.0015 in preferences in electrum and my transaction speed i takes hour and i am always using viabtc for every transaction..

The service stopped to work when it became very popular.
The number of transactions that can be accelerated is limited every hour, so you have to try in the first seconds of each hour.
You have to be fast and lucky :)

I don't understand bit of information here. You said this is transaction accelerator but after entering our txid into accelerator it will take several hours to find that txid into block ? How come this is accelerator then. Am I missing here something, I really need to know about how this works and how come those several hours is not a problem to us. Please enlighten me with hidden facts. :-)

I'm here to do that for you :D that was an advertisement stunt to sell their cloud mining contracts, but they did it anyways even though it was an insult to us all. there is no such a thing as accelerator of transactions in bitcoin network. anyways now we can have 15-45 confirmation normally with less than 120 sats/b so no need for such a service.

Advertisement stunt? HM...lets see now...check out this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1814472.msg19001002#msg19001002
In my honest opinion they were very helpful when there was over 150K unconfirmed transactions.
Don't judge them now please.

Actually, I don't think ImHash is completely wrong on that.

Yes, ViaBTC allows people to accelerate their low fee transactions in form of a charitable service, but we shouldn't forget that it's because of them that we haven't seen SegWit activated already.

On top of that, ViaBTC is trying to stimulate people to go for a trashy proposal like Bitcoin Unlimited to make a statement against the core devs. If that isn't a shady action, I don't know what is.

Even i have tried it in past but faced this same issue i never really figured how it works as far as i remember people say they charge a small fee to accelerate your transaction but whenever i enter any txid it always shows it's too late or says you are in queue. Just send transactions with a bit more fees don't depend on this

FYI they don't charged any amount to accelerate your transaction, that's why they are so called "FREE" they just want your transaction have at least 0.0001 btc or 10k satoshi tx fee to able to accelerate your transaction.

They have limit, 100 tx per hour, and they will not accelerate all transaction for this free service they are such business.

Of course it's your responsibilty on the first place to put a decent fee on your tx so it will confirmed asap.

someone should please advice me on this transaction

https://blockchain.info/tx/01f8a72b3138a5ea3e21180cb582e496c06f32634a60a2f9a002746f1ea9f049

I bought this btc from an exchanger and paid before it was sent, then they send with this low fee

It works but they only accept 100 requests per hour, so 99% of the time it won't work. Alternatively you can use another accelerator like btcspeedy or http://btcaccelerator.online

DON'T TRY THIS! IT'S PROBABLY A SCAM!

1. You can put whatever you want in the "bitcoin transaction ID" field and it will show up as "The transaction number X is NOT confirmed", even if the transaction you submit is already confirmed.

2. They use the same address for any transaction you input. How would they know who paid for which transaction?

3.  This user has 3 posts, and all of them are him spamming his fake website across the forum.

Well, it ll work unless the fee s really low. In that case you can wait for about a week, maybe someone picks up that transaction or it ll be canceled and returned back to you.

I accidentally sent btc with only 150 sats/byte, about half or a third of what miners are typically getting right now. After 8 hours of unconfirmed transaction I found this thread and at the top of the hour I entered my transaction with a success message. About 4 hours later it came in, and sure enough it was confirmed within the next block found by Viabtc. This is a great service they are doing. I immediately sent them another .0005 to the donation address.
If I'm reading some of these replies correctly, it seems some are taking advantage of this favor they are doing to the community and purposefully sending low fee transactions and entering them into the viabtc accelerator as a common practice. I'd be willing to be you aren't donating either. If you are doing this, you are a fucking asshole. Just wanted to say that.

tryninja what do you mean by a scam?  Do you mean if you click on a link like that, you can get a virus or something?  Like your bitcoin wallet can get hacked etc?

I was hardly to use viabtc bitcoin accelerator today looks like there are many people right now are using almost this accelerator due to increase fee of the transactions..

I think he mean that this accelerator is not working if you pay for the 0.001 fee for this transaction you send you will just accelerate your transaction without speeding up your transaction and the fact your transaction just got confirm naturally it means that site is fake.
So beware of paying the fee just to accelerate your transaction..

No
It;s just a scam as they don't actually accelerate your transaction.
They ask you for a fee and they do nothing.

Just look at this:

TRANSACTION RESULTS

Transaction was confirmed days ago.

Also......the script doesn't even check if it's a tx id


https://s2.postimg.org/ogwxemcah/qh_IQCL.png

Just pay the going rate, that's about $4 for a $4000 btc which is .01% - beyond reasonable, especially when you consider it a worldwide transaction. If you made a mistake use this tool and send a donation, if you think current rates are too high take your business elsewhere. If you take advantage of this tool fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

I try using this tool now. In every attempt A made it always says, "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." Does this mean I have to keep submitting it repeatedly until it gets successfully submitted?

I didn`t have this kind of problem with VIAbtc. I use this service couple times, first time I had problem cause transaction fee was under 10k satoshis and I couldn`t use service, fee must be above that in order we to use viabtc. Couple time I just copy/paste my transaction ID, solved captcha and that is it, I don`t know what kind of fees this service is asking more from you? Did you try to wrote to support? I would also like to know what this means `Submissions are beyond limit`.
As I know this service is free, mining pool just take your transaction and include it in next block they mine, that`s all.

I would be careful with this website if anyone is thinking about trying it.

A newbie account promoting a website that is a straight clone of the one from BTC.com; Not only copying the design, but look at the url of both:

Real website by BTC.com: https://pushtx.btc.com/
Possible fake version: http://pushtxbtc.com/

They just created a new domain with the same name as the subdomain by BTC.com; Plus, they have the same "FAQ" at the bottom of the page as BTC.com, which I would say that is meant to make people think that they are the real website.

---

Edit: Just saw that all posts by this user are him promoting his fake phishing websites. DON'T USE THIS WEBSITE!

Triwd it several times but was alwayd to late.

I've used it twice, and it works perfectly.

You can see their Block Record here to see that sometimes it takes them 2 minutes to find a block and sometimes 3-4 hours.
https://pool.viabtc.com/pool/BTC/state/

Then, the key point here is whether you can top your TX to the first 100 transactions every hour. If you got a message "transaction accelerated", rest assured, your coins are on the way!

It seems that the bots have been pointed at ViaBTC, or they're borked. At exactly 3AM UTC-8 (NTS synced to time.apple.com) I submitted a TXID and was told submissions were "beyond limit".

I used the service twice.
One was 11 PM (GMT-5) US Eastern on a weekday.
One was 2 PM (GMT-5) US Eastern on Saturday afternoon.
Both were good. But the previous hours I failed to submit because "beyond limit". Let's try the next hour.

I used ViaBTC twice this month. Took some time to confirm but they were reliable. That "Acceleration succeeded" message is a relief to those who are desperate to see their stuck transactions finally confirmed.

Can't comment on other accelerators but confirmtx.com is definitely a fraudulent site. Don't send your $5 to these scammers.

I used the Antpool accelerator too. Sign up at a time when the network was extremely congested but the submitted acceleration seems to have been ignored. The transaction was still unconfirmed the following day. I then turned to ViaBTC which was a lifesaver. Granted their 100 tx limit per hour is a royal pain to deal with but with a little patience and extra effort, it works if submitted within seconds before or after the hour. Be sure to use system time, accurate to the second. If your system clock is not calibrated correctly, you can rely on this: https://time.is/GMT

Try it today.

Do you have to click the confirm at exactly the top of the hour at 0 seconds as well?

No you don't, and yes you do. Basically, you have to keep submitting until you see the "success" message. If you see an error message then the server is too busy, try again. If you see the "submission limit reached", then you have to keep trying or you missed the hour mark and have to wait another hour. As long as it says successful, it has been submitted and you just need to wait until viabtc mines the next block. Also, assuming your tx was in a queue short enough to be included. I have seen it been included in the second block mined. Guess lots of people lining up to use viabtc these days.

Just as expected which there would be lots of people who do wait for the next hour if the limit has been reached on a particular hour even myself do this thing which I do make timer on when to go in since I do know they hourly reset. Limits do easily be reached up in no time which signifies theres lot of people who are waiting for this service. This transaction accelerator is working and ive been using this to push some of my transactions which do confirm too long. As long it wont go below 100 sats/byte then this accelerator wont deny your tx hash.

Does it accelerate a transaction with any fee? Or do the transactions need to be, for example, more than 100 sat/byte?

That's what I've been trying & even that fails. Wish they would just delete the page & stop wasting our time.


Not sure where people are getting 100 sat/byte from.

0.0001BTC/KB = 10 sat/byte.

That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I tried ViaBTC to include a transaction of 5KB for someone that was desperate to get it confirmed, but they kept refusing it stating that their limit was reached.

That while the transaction included a fee of 0.0003BTC/KB. Even with them having found a few blocks quickly after each other they didn't let it through, and that while sub 1KB transactions were accepted directly.

It seems that their willingness to help out the community has decreased, and for that reason ignore heavy transactions, or we have been unlucky, which I doubt since smaller weight transactions were accepted each time.

https://twitter.com/Darknicks/status/942918233245540352

Actually no. You have to submit your unconfirmed transaction on the full hour but only when they are crowded with demands, usualy when the whole bitcoin network is working slow for some reason or there are some issues with transactions confirmation. In any other case you can submit transactions in any time of the day.
But even if you have to submit the transaction on the full hour that doesn't have to be exactly on a minute, you have about 5 minutes time to submit the transaction. For example if you try to upload on 20:00 p.m. your last attempt makes sense at 20:05. If you don't succeed then you can try again on 21:00 p.m. and have another 5 minutes to upload the transaction. Hope this is clear.

I would like confirm that they switched off accelerator   :-\

Really, even captcha now is not work when you submit form. You can use any 4 letters and will be sure that get message that Limit is reached.

Is viabtc paid tool service working? And What is the time zone viabtc uses? Because i tried many ties but getting same error that the limit is reached.

I don't know the viabtc has paid service for the transaction accelerator anyways that means that the submissions are full now you have to wait another hour for you to get in but i don't think you will get in so easily because it is only limited to 100 transactions and many people are already know this site so, many people will try to get in just their confirmation on their transaction.

doesn't work. mining pools interesting in highest comission per transaction. They try manipulate with btc rate and btc fees by delay with transaction processing

Yes, viabtc transaction accelerator does really works, it helps me confirm a lot of my unconfirmed transaction whenever I have a transaction stuck on the blockchain for a couple of days, and the most important point, this service provided by them are free to use by everyone.

Has it worked for anyone from 20th Dec onwards?


I have tried many times just at the start of hour  but still failed.

Not working since 17th Dec

Oh sad! I think normal users can't use BTC now

Viabtc transaction accelerator seems dead since last week, i always try it everyday but it always say Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later. I think it's because of many unconfirmed transaction and the network is super busy nowdays. Even antpool accelerator also kinda hard to push our txid.

Yes. Even antpool doesn't seem to work. I've been trying to push my tx on it since a couple of days. No luck yet.
Tx id: f350962cd4c50682cd5217552181e90257a5bc42414c4f2c94570c5912ffee0d

Maybe Viabtc initiated the downtime of transaction accelerator if you look at the announcement page of BTC.com for Hashnest investors they have a loot of transactions still pending and they already tried to use accelerator but still the status is the same and besides there are other transaction accelerator services around here that does not require a deposit.

http://pixs.ru/showimage/Snimokekra_2443425_28744468.png


They just wanna earn more money :D They not interested accelerate your tranaction for free

 

above is a viabtc announcement message on home page,so viabtc closed down their all services since 00:00 Sept 30th, 2017

Well that's the most plausible explanation on what is currently happening imo, furthermore we'll see in the next few weeks if it'll be temporary or permanently.
As for antpool, I've come to a conclusion that it doesn't work anymore.

Honestly, No Free transaction accelerator will last if people keep abusing it. Remember that viabtc's site even went down a lot of times and after that this happens  :-[


You should read what you quoted man  :D. It's only their exchange service not all of it.

It seems the service is off-line..
I even have "Your remaining Customer-Only use: 1 Times" that should be giving me 1 time acceleration without restrictions.
It does not work now.
Site errors or planed off-line service. Maybe they support BCH and want to take part to the BTC destabilization that is going on now.

Long Live BTC.

Has anyone used it recently with success?  I used it maybe a few days ago and it worked.  Anyone know if it works now?

It was work but few hours ago they again switched off

Its really working. sometimes error may occur,its due to network fault. sometime it has been switched off.I dnt know what has been the main error.
        Anybody know means share your thoughts.

Yes I can confirm that it's now working again. I'll leave some proofs below. I'm guessing the reason why it didn't work in the past few weeks is because they are doing an upgrade/maintenance. If you visited the site, you will see some changes particularly on their paid service and the cloudflare. Not sure on what error you're talking about  :-\. For now I haven't experienced such things. I'll let you guys know If I encountered one.

This is my first try today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2649003.msg26992585#msg26992585

The second one is this: https://i.imgur.com/ab316Sb.png

Are you using ViaBTC at a specific time? I've only seen "Your remaining Customer-Only use: 0 Times" for the last 3 days.

Edit: I saw your post, and it says to enter at exactly X:0:00 (assuming to the nearest rounded hour) - hope this works for me!

Has anyone used it very recently and can confirm it works?  Thus i mean even after many tries?

I got an incoming transaction but the dude put the fee too low so I requested ViaVTC accelerator to include it in their next block using the https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ service a few hours ago. I see that a block was mined by ViaBTC just 67 minutes ago and the transaction still shows as unconfirmed.

When I try to resubmit the TX I get "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later. " so I will have to wait and try later.

Guys viabtc was working always and works recently too, I accelerated transaction yesterday and got confirmed less than 1 hour, luckily I was able to include it in their 100 limit. You just need to be very fast, it's really very hard because viabtc is spammed, just see there are more than 200K unconfirmed transactions and imagine how much people wants to get confirmed them as soon as possible. And also when you try to resubmit and get that message, it's time problem again, you aren't quick enough to add it in their 100 limit list.

"Transaction added to acceleration queue" at xx:00:00 just now.

Would I have more success if I tried right after a new block was found by ViaBTC or does it reset every hour? How does it work?

technically it should only work as the hour resets. the website also mentioned the example if you scroll down a bit you will see it.

but i believe they have disabled their "free" accelerator services, possibly to force people into signing up for the "paid" version of it. i have been trying to accelerate a transaction for the past 3 days and i have been failing.

If I created an online service that charged a fixed small sum to include your btc transaction in next block and then mined btc myself, wouldnt it in theory be possible for me to get all and everyone to set the fee really low and then pay me the fixed small sum to have the transaction included in the next block rather then setting a high fee to have a random miner include it maybe and when they want to?

There is nothing wrong in having this kind of service and I think I was some service like that in the past that performs some free acceleration service up to certain point and then charge fee for those above the benchmark. You can then make it a more bigger one so we can patronize it.

I have used ViaBTC but now its seems the crowd on it is too much that they just increase the maximum threshold every hour.

I guess that it might be more profitable in the shortrun to simply mine "normally" but that in the longrun offering a transaction service for a low fixed fee could be what btc needs to brake the trend of increasing fees. You could potentially offer a lowbudget alternative with lower direct profits but a stable amount of clients willing to pay for each transfer and always to you. Not sure if it would work in real life, but thats how I imagine it.

Hi Dent...It's added. You can verify this @https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/..it will show confirmed over there...But will be mined in the Block mined by ViaBtc. Unable to reply in msg as already over 15 per day. Happy New Year!!!

Hemali

Yes! I see that it says Transaction has been confirmed on viabtc now, so awesome :)

I will let you know when it has been confirmed on the blockchain so that I can send you something ;)

Happy new year!

Thank you!

Happy to Help!!!

It is confirmed, see PM :)

Replied to your PM.

And one more thing...I like your status,  "Location:In front of you" :-*

Is there anyway you can help me also.  Been trying all day would really appreciate any help.  Tx No. is c4042a6b07000a31a3991cf8d6bfab6c64b713b239f1df15f12f7794cfc5aa47 .  Thank you again if you can help!!!!!!

has it stopped working again? Can someone confirm?

Yeah i think so. i tried accelerating a transaction and got submissions are beyond limit error. well, guess i have to wait. i have no problem waiting. ;)

doesn't works

 ;D its true though lol

Guys I think its only working properly if you are a registered pool user and you have credits to add a tx. You only get a limited amount of such as far as I understand. Hemali helped me out for a nice little tip though so maybe he can help you out too...  8)

Yes, I did a test using a confirmed transaction and they still gave me the "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." message, even though they used to give "Transaction already confirmed" message for such transactions. Then I tried clicking the Paid service button (I have an account there) and this time, it gave the "Transaction already confirmed" message.

So it's safe to say, ViaBTC's free transaction accelerator is indeed switched "OFF" for the time being. Whenever someone has similar results, just stop bothering trying their free services (their paid services are working though).

Does it work at the moment?

sorry, I also do not quite understand this,
but if we are not sure better not use this service

Yes it is and since the mempool is no longer congested, a lot of people no longer have to use it which is why you can still enter your transaction hash even if it's not exactly XX:00:00  (I just entered one at XX:04 and it was accepted).

Fee's are also way cheaper now compared on december or so when the mempool is still congested.


Seems like you're not familiar with viabtc... It's a mining pool and they have this service that will let you include your transaction in the next block they mine.
A lot of people have already used this but the problem is when there is too much people using it causing the service not to work or decrease your chance getting your transaction inlcuded in their queue which actually happened in the last few months.

For now such service wont really be needed because this site is only used on pushing up transactions but only on times where the network is congested and also using it now is not totally needed because we do have low fees and do have faster confirmation as of now which we wont really bother to look after on this things for now but this would be useful when the network being jammed again(hopefully not).

I am always wondering, when the members, who offer free accelerations with donation in service section get negative trusts, because they are accused to use free accelerators. I tried without luck several times on ViaBtc and other services. The sites of other suggested services disabled free accelerators and led me to paid accelerators and ViaBTC showed me every time the same message.

I think it was really working when I used it almost a year ago.
But not sure about now. Since, I only use eth atm. As I can see they charge for it now? Damn,  that sux.

They don't charge for it. If you want, or more precisely said, if you manage to include your transaction within the first few seconds of each round hour (which is insanely difficult due to cheaters with scripts and whatnot), you'll still be able to enjoy free accelerations. As optional feature they offer a paid transaction acceleration service that will allow you to enjoy more features. However, they seem to only accept payments for their accelerator in BCH, which is quite ridiculous. It's basically the same idiotic move as the paid accelerator from btc-dot-com -- they accept BCH or payment through centralized fiat services.

Hello guys, happy VD.....
What I want to ask now is that since bitcoin tx fees are really low, is viabtc tx accelerator still spammed? I am a little bit lazy to check it (don't have a time to watch XX:00). If anyone tried it today or these days, will I be able to accelerate transactions without being ultrafast in milliseconds? In past it was even imppossible.

Viabtc's tx accelerator is for stuck transactions but now that there's hardly anything on the mempool, transactions (even a 1 sat/byte) are getting confirmed pretty fast which is why it's safe to conclude that there's hardly anyone who uses viabtc's tx accelerator right now. (You probably don't need any accelerator right now)

To prove this, I picked up a random unconfirmed transaction here: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions,
then submitted it on viabtc at exactly 04:30 and as expected it got accepted.

I recently tried sending btc with small fee of like under 25 cents with electrum because i read transactions are fast now and because it showed within 5 blocks.  How long does it take for 5 blocks for btc to be sent from electrum to another site if it say within 5 blocks?


Also does viabtc accelerator work now for it and if so, can i do this anytime since i assume most ppl do not use it?


Also is it the first link that shows up when you type in on google such as it looks like


pool.viabtc.com/tools/....



Thanks all.

Within 6 blocks is 60 mins according to https://estimatefee.com but it's just an estimate, it could be faster or longer than that.


Yes most likely but there's no assurance that every tries will be accepted regardless of the time entered, at any rate you can just try in another hour if it fails.


yes it's https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
