I've made a transaction yesterday via blockchain.info and used the recommended fee, now the transaction stand unconfirmed for 12+ hours without even one confirmation.. Anyone else having this problem? First time happening to me.

Could you post the txid? This way i can have a look at what could potentially be wrong...

Looks like the fee is too small, tho I've used the recommended one so I'm not quite sure what's happening..

The fee was 121 sat/byte, while at the time of writing, you'd need 219 sat/byte for a 95% chance of getting into one of the next 3 blocks...
The webpage i posted lists the possible sollutions... If you wait untill exactly 14:00 CET (or 15:00 or 16:00 or...) you can use viabtc's txaccelerator, and you'll probably get a confirmation in 3 to 4 hours...

I guess you are talking about this transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/34be82a7397236eb813e38a8da6429f2498d61a4988459a11e3ae5248da277f1 ? Normally it should confirm because the fee you sent is already enough but because of the network congestion, a fee of atleast 190 satoshi per byte would've confirmed your transaction faster. You can use viabtc to try and accelerate it if you have a luck and manage to input your transaction before they stop accepting transaction because they reach the limit.

So my best bet would be just to wait it out? I don't have any more btc on my wallet, maybe 90 cents and that's it. :/ I'll just wait it out and see what happens.

I guess your best bet would be to use the viabtc txaccelerator link in 34 minutes... That way you'd have a very decent shot at getting into a block within the next couple of hours. If you wait it out, there's a reasonable chance your tx will be dropped from the mempool of most nodes in 2.5 days.

I've tried and I get "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." and also "Your remaining Customer-Only use: 0 Times" above the txid field. I've never used this so I don't really know.

EDIT: So I'll have to wait untill exactly 14:00 to submit since they allow only 100 transactions per hour?

We all have to face with the same problems since the bitcoin blockchain is not as fast as it used to in the past due to the high number of transaction during these days. The number of Bitcoin users has increased and therefore, we have to accept the slow confirmation

That is correct, and at the current mempool size, those 100 allowed transactions are completely gone in 1 or 2 minutes... So if you want to use viabtc's txaccelerator, it's imperative you use it in the fist couple of seconds after a new hour has begon.

So I've noticed. But the things that got me wondering was the really low fee that I've was recommended and it was a fee of 0.0002712 BTC of 0.0156628 BTC as total output... and I didn't even notice it until I've checked the transaction this morning.



It's ok, I've managed to submit my transaction in the very first few seconds, we'll see what happens in the next few hours. Thanks a lot for recommending to use viabtc.


EDIT: It got 2/3 confirmations in less than an hours. Thanks a lot. :)

DO not be panic like that. Everyone faces the same problem. I even had to wait for more than 2 days in order for my transaction to be confirmed. Do not worry. It is not your fault. The bitcoin blockchain is very slow because there are many people start using Bitcoin
