Title: Payment is unconfirmed after an hour... Post by: KingFisher9 on June 19, 2011, 03:02:48 PM I sent a payment an hour ago and the status is still 0/unconfirmed. Should I be worried? Can anything be done to cancel the payment?

If in the future you want to get the payment confirmed faster, send a transaction fee, and the miners will give it priority.
Title: Re: Payment is unconfirmed after an hour... Post by: titeuf_87 on June 19, 2011, 03:05:08 PM Try to see if you can find your payment on this page (http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/).
If it appears on there, then the only thing you can do is wait till it gets included in a block. Title: Re: Payment is unconfirmed after an hour...

You'll just need to give it more time.
