Title: Payment unconfirmed
Post by: uknowumoe on May 03, 2017, 05:55:28 PM
Hi,

I sent some bc via Electrum like 2 hours ago, but nothing happened so far.

Image of the transaction: http://i.epvpimg.com/2Dw8gab.png (the [img) thing doesn't work somehow)

So the amount itself is at the top and the fee for the payment at the bottom.

Is the fee just too low?
I just used the 0.0005 BTC / kB fee

How long will it probably take to finish?


Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the fee is likely too low. I recommend using the Dynamic Fees option in Electrum to ensure accurate sized fees. Be sure that you are also running the latest version which includes fixes to how fees are handled.

You may wish to try pushing the transaction through with ViaBTC Accelerator to help speed of the confirmation.

Alright, thanks!

I tried the ViaBTC Accelerator to speed things up, but the "Submissions are beyond limit." right now. How long will it take if there's no speedup?

They only allow so many submissions every hour. Try again at the beginning of the hour in order to get your transaction included.

It is difficult to say how long it will take without any speed ups. Could be anywhere from a day to several days.

Just worked before you replied. Let's see, if that actually helps. :)
