Bitcoin Forum

I know that most of you know that ViaBTC are offering a service to accelerate transactions and everyone seem to send transaction with low fees and use it to make things faster.
I was checking btc.com blockexplorer until I saw an option to accelerate transaction which probably got added recently, I thought I should share it with you.

Unlike ViaBTC though, the service is not free but It's really nothing much when you need to speed up a transaction urgently: https://pushtx.btc.com/

"Cooperating with main Bitcoin pools, we provide transaction accelerator service, which can make the probability of confirming transaction within 1 hour come up to 75% and 98% within 4 hours."

I can not see where that option is.


How much do they charge for their services?

i think it depends, but the other day i wanted to try their service for my .005btc transaction and they did ask me for $6+ so i didn't tried it and I'm not sure if my transaction will be confirmed in the very next block since they claim they are cooperating with other pools

You insert your transaction and then click 'ESTIMATE PRICE', then you can pay with your VISA card so you can spend your bitcoin, the irony is unbelievable...

No way! To push Bitcoin transaction we have to pay with VISA!?!
Someone shoots a goal into his own net?!?
What the he11!?!?!

Price is based on the tx size, BTC price, etc. as mentioned on their website and on the blockexplorer, you will only see the option If your transaction is unconfirmed (logically):

I find ironic the fact we need to use Visa to push a bitcoin transaction :D If people want to use bitcoin it's because they don't want to use fiat. In this case then better to pay the full amount with your visa or any other payment method

So is VISA the only option to pay for the service? Not so good

That being said, It seems that the fee is really high. Almost the same amount with the btc that you're sending. I think it's not worth it (just my opinion though). Quite helpful if you really really have an urgent transaction to make, but if not, I'd rather wait.

I almost used this service today, but seeing Visa as option I said "No". I agree with you
saying that you just have to wait if the transaction you are expecting is not urgent.
I guess we all know why this is happening, but spending more just to get your transaction
confirmed doesn't sounds good to me. IHMO. So I went on the next best option which
is viabtc and in about 2 hr my transaction got confirmed. So I guess you need a little patience
and just wait for your transaction to be confirmed.

For me also it is crazy idea, but the truth is that ViaBTC is overloaded and people are looking for other possibilities.
But using VISA to pay for Bitcoin transactions looks for me like nightmare or joke of village drunkard ;D

BTC.com's accelerator is so overpriced. I took this transaction (https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/2a751533374e003ea2acf3af4ebfb68dc91adbbadf5480035177798a6cb30912), which is 361 bytes and pays a 75 satoshi/kb fee, and BTC.com asks for $4.42 just to accelerate it, which I find it hard to believe that anyone would be willing. If you are willing to pay $5 to accelerate a transaction, why not just spend a bit more on fees so you don't need to pay the $5? I wonder what BTC.com was thinking with this.

If you accelerate a transaction within the first 10 minutes of every hour, it's a very good chance that you can get it.

Because you were not the one creating the transaction...

Plus, it has to be expensive, there are a lot of fees to be paid from those $5.

I was looking for an alternate txn accelerator besides viabtc lat night and saw btc.com but thy are right. It's way too overpriced and I am not paying $5 to get a $20 worth btc in my transaction to get confirmed. I'll still be using viabtc.

We need more such option because when it comes to transaction backlog, even ViaBTC refuses transaction acceleration requests sometimes in that period. However, I am also joining the 'it's too expensive' club because why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it.

So it is every full hour.. Thanks for info, I was not sure when they restart this 100 limit.


They don't expect that users who know how to calculate fee will use this service. For sure they expect that they will earn on people mistakes. If someone will need realize transaction fast, and it will be important for him, will pay any amount to do this.. Especially for international deals, or between companies.

They are asking too much, i have found this Bitcoin Fee booster https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1506632.0
But this tool doesn't look like easy to setup.

Well of course it only boosts the fees and such so it isn't much good unless you're trying to do RBF. BTC.com's tool is way too expensive and really it'd be cheaper to just wait until the top of an hour and try to get your tx in on viabtc's tx accelerator.

I would prefer it to be totally free as is the case with the accelerator that viabtc is offering, but this tool can come very handy if a withdrawal from an exchange takes ages to confirm while you need it to confirm quickly.

I however find it utterly strange that they require you to pay with a centralized nutter service as Visa. Bitcoin should be the only payment option. I honestly can't stop laughing at how amateurish they set everything up.

Replace that centralized nutter service completely to make place for Bitcoin. What a joke, seriously.

I see. Almost every web wallet is including appropriate fees with each transaction according to the network load. On a corporate level, this service might prove very beneficial to push the things faster speed. Otherwise, for normal bitcoin users, $5 fees are insane in usual conditions. However, these kind of extra efforts to confirm the transaction are not something that we should be proud of as a bitcoin community.

Well I don't really know about the site. However I think everyone has heard about viabtc accelerator, and pretty sure(at least based off my experience with the site) if you can make sure you get in there quick every hour you can do it for free.

Now this site is charging you a fee to do it. Which I think makes it less desirable to use.

Just put more fees in the first place if you are concerned about your transaction not confirming. You'll pay less fees overall and save time that ways.

Of course we can not be proud of that! In my opinion it is like a shot in the back. After all, the philosophy of Bitcoin is against any instruments used by the banks! The worst part is that behind this is btc.com domain - so it is someone from our community! I am even more afraid of what will be their next step to harm BTC.

I am of the opinion that we as a community should come forward with the uniform and strong stand to deal with such issues. It's not going to work well for us if we are just thinking about our own scenario on the individual level. Fortunately, I see a very good potential of the communities like bitcointalk in bitcoin sphere in order to build impact.

I did it and there was nothing, but now I see


They are taking advantage of the situation to get the maximum bitcoin of desperate people who want their transactions to be confirmed with the utmost urgency



The service has become very popular and now there are many people using this service and is overloaded

We need more options like that. ViaBTC refuses transaction acceleration request sometimes. One of my friend use this ViaBTC service ad he told, 'its too expensive' club and why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it and also he suggested to give a try to feebooster jar executable on github.

I tried to use sites which were similar to one at the Google but still didn't find any a good think to accelerate the Bitcoin transaction in case of the unconfirmation .
Here you BTC.com , can I ask that how did it worked because I don't understand at all to use to use .
From some recent weeks I am facing the problem of unconfirmation but didn't get a better solution .
Here I remembered that in this forum There was one post for the Bitcoin transaction accelerate where it was mentioned that to contact quickseller but due to negative with positive trust I was doubt about to contact or not  ::)

ViaBTC is totally free as far as I know, It's always working but they have an hourly limit of 100 transactions per hour so If you can't submit, you should comeback later to try again.

No need to use a paid service, viabtc is best, we can get our transactions confirmed within hours, and btc.com also promise within 4 hours, no big difference with viabtc. And we have paid to the miners, why we pay more? It is quite unfair.

I recently tried this service, its true that viabtc accelerator is free but it hard to submit a transaction there as it is always full.
Anyway, i had a transaction that was stuck for 7 hours already with a tx fee of 0.0003. So the rest of the child tx from that also did not get confirmed. Since i was in need to get my tx confirmed already, i used their service and paid 10$! lol. But in all fairness to them, it did work, my tx got confirmed in less than 30 mins.

So my advice, if you get a stuck transaction and urgently need it to be confirmed, you can try viabtc first and if that doesn't work, and you are willing to pay the price, then use btc.com.

PS. i used a prepaid visa card that is loadable via bitcoins lol

-uni

I tried using their accelerated and they set an estimated fee of $13 for my $39 transaction. It's worthless to pay such a big amount to confirm transactions and better to pay the miners their fee (which was $2 in my case). Viabtc was working well earlier but now they keep giving an error for transactions (if they cross the limit of submissions).

Want to know or even someone get info what is the limit and when this site reset they limitions?

Same here experience many error from viabtc even i am waiting for 1 hour that is why my transaction it takes 1 days before i receive why this transaction fee are keeps increasing.. this is not the same before that you can pay even 10k sat.
If this is the problem about our transaction better to push bitcoin back in cheap price so that we can stay fast and low fee for every transaction

At first, I thought they were gonna provide a service like viabtc. Shouldn't be too hard for them to give a 100 slots for acceleration, like viabtc does. Turns out it was still business.
Anyway, it could still help some out especially now that viabtc always seem to be full, but, is VISA truly the only payment option they have?

I've never paid over a dollar for my fees and I've yet to have a transaction stuck for a day.
And now, an accelerator charges 10x that. Though it's probably their way of combating abuse. (People deliberately setting low fees and then using the accelerator, like what happens with viabtc now.)

I successfully tried this accelerator before, that's when neutraLTC post it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1572823.msg18122681#msg18122681 and I said it's totally free, but when I want to push the other one then it requires a fee, and the worst is the fee is much higher than the transaction I want to push, I'd rather to wait than to pay that high tho.

I still hate the fact that they don't accept bitcoin as a payment method because this doesn't make much sense but I like the gesture they made recently:


This will make more people use this service when they need this urgently and in the same time, they have guarantees that their transactions will either get confirmed or they get refunded instead.

For me it is absolutely natural that they should refund money if they don't realize service properly.

I still can not understand what was in the mind of person who invented VISA payment for Bitcoin transactions?!?! And the worst does not allow any other payment option - especially BTC!

For me, it still looks like a joke or mistake..  ;D

I would prefer to increase the fees rather than pay overprice, moreover use visa.
With 0.0008 btc/kb you can get confirmation around 30 minutes (if the network passable deserted) or over 2 hours (if the network crowded).

I think if they have serious business, they need to change the payment use bitcoin, because we use bitcoin as well.

agree. We have third bitcoin tx accelerator now sosobtc
http://coinour.com/index.php/comparing-three-bitcoin-transaction-accelerators-on-the-market/

I used this service today, because the sender (Betcoin.ag) included zero miner fee.  Transaction was of course stuck in limbo for 8 hours, and probably would have never confirmed.  At that point I noticed there was no fee attached.  It cost me ~$2 USD to accelerate transaction 0660a3c06d84da2bef2a524b25abe05457b0901f1ffd7b7b4d70f241688961cf of almost 4 BTC.  It was worth every penny to me.

2 confirms within 2 hours.

I wonder if these transactions accelerator are really needed. I did about 20 transactions through my ledger wallet HW.1 and some of them were over 200 USD in value. I paid MAX fee which was 1.90 USD or 192.75 satoshi/byte and all my transactions were confirmed in less than 5-10 minutes all. Paying 1.90 USD for a 200 USD value is not a big amount in fee, just compare it to Paypal or Skrill and you will believe me.

Anyway for people who still send from a lot of small inputs taken from faucets these accelerators must be a good option to use.

They are definitely not needed but people usually make mistakes, use outdated wallets like Multibit Classic etc... which sooner or later will result in having their transaction stuck for hours and If that TX is urgent you need is urgent, I don't think anyone would mind paying some extra money in order to get it confirmed.

Aha, another great alternative. Personally I've just been using altcoins and convincing others to use said altcoins but this is an option if I'd rather stick either the tried and true bitcoin transaction I wanted to do right from the beggining.

Roger Ver is making fun of Bitcoin guys.

He knows that it's a dumbfuck idea yet he advertises this service so he can give you a subliminal message. The message is very obvious:

He says bitcoin don't have the ability make fast transactions, so he offers his services.

What a malicious soul.

pushtx.btc.com is down at the moment. Any idea when it will be open again?
Or any other alternatives ?

I don't have an idea when pushtx.btc.com will comeback honestly but you have ViaBTC accelerator which could do the same job (but could take longer): https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ and It's free.

I hope it doesn't, that service is a joke IMO.

Why are you asking? Dont tell me you use that site to accelerate your transaction? This site's accelerator is abusing the people of bitcoin community because of stock in the network they really even want to make business for it instead of helping and the worst they have huge fees than the one yoi want to send. Anyways you can use viabtc accelerator as mentioned above.

OmegaSS is right.  Why pay for some service of dubious reliability when ViaBTC's free service has been proven over & over again to work pretty well.  ViaBTC's service has worked for me over a dozen times, the longest delay after acceleration was about 6 hours, but usually my trx have been confirmed withing an hour or so.

My only real concern is that ViaBTC may stop offering that nice little service which is so helpful (like when I receive small payments like Signature Campaign payments).

For outgoing payments, just pony up a decent-sized fee when there are a lot of unconfirmed trx...

So, let me get this straight, you wanted to send roughly $6 and they wanted to charge you $6 to do that. Wow, where do I sign up for this kind of rape fest?

Obviously, from first sight, no one is going to proceed with this unless there is an urgent need to have that transaction confirmed. That being said, aside from what this service is charging people, in some cases transactions do need massive fees in order to confirm. Good example is those that make one transaction from plenty of smaller dust transactions, which will result in you needing to pay a fee that is holding a higher value than the transaction itself. We don't know if this is the case with the person you quoted. No way to know since information is lacking.

I wonder what will be in the future if it goes with these high fees to confirm a bitcoin transaction ... the amounts required for each transaction are increasing.
In a few years we could have a 10$ fee for a 200$ transaction.
The idea of paying using a credit card to confirm a bitcoin transaction it is a big stupid thing (my opinion) and nobody will use it.

This service is not meant to use for small transactions logically (you have ViaBTC for that) and as I already mentioned, the fee that BTC accelerator take is based on the current btc price, TX size and some other factors.

Transaction accelerators with no fees tend to have hidden agendas since there's no economic reason for them to provide that service when they could make more money.  In ViaBTC's case it's to argue for BU which they most likely believe would make them more money in the long term.  

Plus ViaBTC is already pretty saturated, their service isn't going to be that fast when they're only including some transactions in the blocks that they mine.

Fee accelerators shouldn't be free because it makes people just try to screw over other people who actually need the accelerator because they did something wrong with the transaction.

What happen to the site this is still active or not i was check the site and see that the server is down according in the site..
https://pushtx.btc.com/
Looks like this is an a good alternative in viabtc .
Well since sometimes the via btc is delay and maybe i can also use this in the future if i still not confirm in a minutes i try this service..

We currently have around 140,000 unconfirmed transaction, I thought I should let you guys know that the service is back to work as It could worth using at the moment with ViaBTC have small hourly limits. The payment methods are still somehow limited though.

Don't use BTC.com it's a shitty service.
Of course you are free to do as you wish, especially if you like what Roger Ver is doing and support his projects. In such case putting money in his pocket through his site should be your priority.

Is it still down in yours? I checked the site and its working well . It even calculated the fee for accelerating my transaction .
https://i.imgur.com/GQSU1Lk.png
But I'm still hesitating in using their service tho . The reviews on this site is not that good unlike viabtc . So how is this different from viabtc? I accelarated my transaction on viabtc yesterday and still not confirmed (66 confirmations atm) . Will btc.com be quicker than viabtc considering that we will pay for it?

Thanks viabtc, this accelerator always helped me a lot.
To my mind using of btc.com is the worst thing because they have so high fees, sometimes even 10% of their fee would be enough for whole transaction and if we have so much btc, why the hell will send it with low fee. To my mind their service would help people but suddenly they want a good profit from this.

The number of unconfirmed transactions right now is just huge, ViaBTC has an hourly limit of 1000 transaction per hour as I already said. If you really want to get your TX confirmed then I suggest BTC.com accelerator even though, It kinda defeats the whole purpose of using bitcoin because they don't even accept BTC as a payment method (unless they added it recently). It should take a few hours (1-4 hours) as you can see on the description on the picture you posted.

I shall accelerate your paypal transactions with a very low fee of $250 per transaction, I only accept bitcoin and it might not get confirmed though as there is a small chance that it gets lost in the crowd only 0.0000001% you might succeed however I will not be returning the fee you paid me. If they have asked like that I could've worked around the absurdity.

Seriously, I don't get what are you trying to say here, did you say "accelerate your paypal transaction"  ??? How BTC.com relates your post or in any btc transaction accelerator? And I don't think if there's really a paypal transaction accelerator.

This is just a ... joke :)

He is just trolling dude. All transaction on Paypal are instant since it is a wire to wire transfer and there is no need for miner to confirm transaction. He just made my day by offering paypal transaction accelerator. Transaction Accelerator service is in demand now. So keep safe from fraud services out there.

In this case, CPFP is a right decision for the unconfirmed (stuck) transaction. Don't be fooled by BTC.com
There is a better method than pay the greedy party. I have used it since long time ago (2015). Blockstream had released CPFP feature on 2015. Keep your transaction being so fast  8). Yesterday it takes less than 30 minutes to make my unconfirmed transaction gets confirmed by the block.

I live in Europe and we do not have AliPay. How can I speed up the transcation?

Instead of wasting a few bucks on paying a greedy accelerator service to speed up your transaction, do it yourself by adding an appropriate fee -- saves you plenty of hassle.

But just in order to help you out -- https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ it's free!

In order to have the highest chances of succeeding, make sure you try to push your transaction through within the first 2 minutes of each round hour. Why? Because people are desperately waiting to do exactly the same -- resulting in their limit being reached within 2 minutes.

For the moment you can't really do anything about it. You can wait for Stripe to get fixed and implemented again, that should allow you to pay using credit cards and probably PayPal as well.

Hey guys,

We've recently released a transaction accelerator in our web-wallet, every user gets three accelerated transactions for the cost of low-priority transaction.

More info here:

BTCBTC  https://blog.btc.com/wallet-push-transactions-are-live-b6a18d1f007 (https://blog.btc.com/wallet-push-transactions-are-live-b6a18d1f007)  BTCBTC





Let us know what you all think about our new update, as always, thanks!

Good news!
Quick question:  please explain this line:  "Wallets receive the ability to make three such transactions per month, while our dedicated funds last."
So there are 3 guaranteed  transactions per month for every user, or could be 3 if the funds decicated for this last?

Thanks!

Yes there are 3 guaranteed tx's per month for every web wallet user until the dedicated amount of funds that we've set aside are exhausted.

i wanted to use btc acceleartor this morning...

How the h*ll do they do not support bitcoin payment??? how i have to pay by credit card ?!

That's definitely something that they should consider changing however, If you are using their wallet, then you have the right to make a couple of transaction for almost free cost, per month. It's better then using an accelerator on the first place as you know for sure that your transaction will get included in the block they mine.

Its too late now, my transaction is stuck since 28 hours i have no other choice but to use transaction accelerator!!, i tried make alipay and seems very complicated...

I really would love to use their service if there was a way to pay by bitcoin!!!

how come btc.com ask alipay ??
same here i m stuck at unconfirmed transaction and bitmain allow 1-hour payment window now my order is unpaid unconfirmed expired :(

It really still make no sense until now on why they don't accept bitcoin, ViaBTC accelerator can be used for free If you have paid at least 0.0001 BTC as fees I believe and there isn't much demand on it, so you should find an open slot without waiting the hourly threshold to reset.

I usually use http://btcaccelerator.online and have my transaction pushed in 20-30 minutes

The website doesn't even show up when you write the full name on Google, no SSL encryption, no articles about it on the internet. Unless you can provide us on how you got this URL, I'm going to take my chances and say that this is a scam that you probably made yourself.

---

I stand correct, there is already a scam accusation against you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2101369

Oh noo! Not again! Its been 12 hrs and still stuck @unconfirmed transaction,  Maybe ill to accelerate it, if still unconfirmed after 24hours.

You can try to submit your transaction at ViaBtc and see how things goes from there but I doubt you will be able to as a lot of people are having unconfirmed transactions (probably spam attack). If no luck, go to the services section, you will find a guy who is offering free accelerating services, It could take up to a few hours but definitely worth it If you are desperate for having a confirmation.

100 tx/hour, not 1000, according to this article: http://coinour.com/index.php/comparing-three-bitcoin-transaction-accelerators-on-the-market/

ok - I just paid about $72 via BCH to push through a $13k BTC transaction that's been stuck for over 24 hours...

transaction stuck: https://blockchain.info/tx/4ba7cd0b13adb14bf5bc5417222017f8c1c2050190ba26d3616b4e1d1952f729

let's see how fast this goes.

WOW!!!  ;D

that was lightening speed.

100% worth paying the $72 BCH for this transaction to get pushed through lightening speed!!!

THANK YOU BTC.COM  :D

i don't know why but waiting for 2 days to confirm my transaction. I already tried accelerators.
