whats going on here Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: Jannn on May 20, 2017, 01:24:53 PM whats going on here The number one reason of this is network traffic, even we include a high fee on our transaction theirs will be a possibility that our transaction will stuck because of network traffic.You can try : https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to accelerate your transaction and wait until viabtc mined another block.

If you think this way about sites trying to help others with a problem they (=you, yourself by paying a low fee) created, then let them help others, not you. bullshit site this crap has already reached its limit, lol Be patient dude. :-[ViaBTC can handle only a 100 request per hour. im already waiting for 2 days thats more than beeing patient Again, not their fault. Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: Nagadota on May 20, 2017, 01:58:10 PM Like cash, Bitcoin is much harder to spend if you take a lot of transactions in order to send a bigger one. When I walk to a shop and buy something for $20 in cash, that's an easy transaction.
When I go there and bring 2000 pennies, it's going to be pretty damn hard. The chances are that you took several small inputs, meaning that the size of your transaction becomes bigger and it's more expensive to spend. What matters is the satoshi per byte, not the satoshi. If you post the transaction ID I could confirm that and try to get it accelerated for you. Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: bitbunnny on May 20, 2017, 04:42:06 PM We see all the time that fees are becoming biger and biger so I'm not surprised if the fee you paid wasn't enough for the transaction. You could always try with transactions accelerator but the fact is that something has to be done and that the miners and users have to find some solution.
Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: HCP on May 21, 2017, 04:09:09 AM TLDR:
1. your transaction is 846 bytes, which is close to 3.5-4x the size of a normal transaction... so your fee goes up proportionally... 2. you apparently are too cheap/lazy/ignorant to pay a proper fee in the first place, so your transaction gets stuck (hint: Make sure you're running latest Electrum 2.8.2 and turn dynamic fees on) 3. you seem to think your "special snowflake" status means your low fee transaction should be confirmed before the other 150,000 unconfirmed transactions. Ummm, no. Long version: Your transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/665648e7b6ba7dfcff1ba351bed89d9c4bcea82b885a18162f2b459c43fa84f5 is involved in a "double spend"... in fact, most of the inputs to this transaction have been TRIPLE spent... so ViaBTC won't work anyway... and neither will the BTC.com paid service... https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/F2aEJ.png https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/F2X5C.png bullshit site this crap has already reached its limit, lol Sure... call a free service, that does work, "bullshit" and "crap"... enjoy having your transaction stuck in limbo for another few days... ::)bullshit site this crap has already reached its limit, lol Be patient dude. :-[ViaBTC can handle only a 100 request per hour. Quote from: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 270 satoshis/byte Quote from: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx The current best transaction fees 184 Satoshis/byte | 0.00184 BTC/KB Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: HCP on May 21, 2017, 10:18:49 AM No... I'm saying your knowledge and usage of the Bitcoin network and general attitude is.
You don't pay $1 for 7 day parcel post and expect FEDEX overnight express courier delivery.. But that is essentially what you seem to believe you are entitled to. So you can either learn how it works and pay appropriate fees for the level of service you require... or DOGEcoin network is over there ----> Title: Re: 0.02 Payment with 0.001 transaction fee sent and still not confirmed Post by: veleten on May 23, 2017, 01:06:34 AM so you basically say bitcoin is shit dude,you are too arrogant and angry to listen to advice viabtc is a free service that works best at the start of the hour,because there are too many people who want to push their tx but there are only 100 slots open in any case,your transaction will NOT get confirmed as one of the inputs is double spent tl.dr: wait for the coins to come back,exclude the double spent sum and resend with proper fee |
