Title: Bitcoin transaction not getting confirmed for over 24 hours
Post by: homiee on May 25, 2017, 04:31:09 PM
Hello,

My transaction (155c19e00efa486e364f5c5c346cb42762f0360e77fb043fa2a40e6fb84d3c28) is still unconfirmed, even 24 hours after initializing.

The fee for the transaction is ~177 sat/b, which seems to me pretty fair.

Any ideas why is this happening? Any ways to accelerate this?

The fee is actually on the low side and that's the main reason. If you check the following website: http://bitcoinfees.21.co/#fees it says:

The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 390 satoshis/byte, shown in green at the top.
There's a lot of unconfirmed transactions at the moment and fees have increased significantly.

You can you "ViaBTC Transaction Accelerator Tool": https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
Use it on first few minutes of the hour reset (UTC format).
Take note: They also have "paid accelerator service" which costs 0.01BTC/transaction.

Thanks, I've tried ViaBTC TX acceleration but it seems to be clogged with requests.

I listened to your advice and tried in the first minute after an hour reset and it worked!

I guess all I need to do now is to wait until they mine a block.

Thanks for your advice!

your fee is low not fair

The fee is low for the current time, but I think it's a fair fee. Current fees needed aren't fair, they are too high.

I saw the transaction is already confirmed.
