Title: Did I put in enough fees, transaction is still unconfirmed after 2 days Post by: gkler2012 on June 14, 2017, 11:50:56 AM Hi,
I tried sending BTC to my daughter, and after more than 2 days, it is still unconfirmed. Did I put enough fees, because I thought I followed the recommended fees. If a miner can just help confirm/unstuck this, thanks so much. https://blockchain.info/tx/94d710f448ae8e2f62c10af0b1439baf0047308d69945ad1107c97f48a7a4c72 --eric Title: Re: Did I put in enough fees, transaction is still unconfirmed after 2 days Post by: zend7 on June 14, 2017, 12:09:16 PM Definitely no, you put 70 satoshi/byte clearly under the minimum nowadays which is 160-200 satoshi/byte. If you don't want your transaction to stay stucked forever as there is a high chance it does use the ViaBTC website which is used to accelerate transactions.

Anyway, if my assumption is correct, the online wallet service screwed all the recipients with a very low 70 satoshi/byte fee :( The current recommended fees are anywhere from 220 to 390 sats/byte. You can check here: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx Note: recommended fees are continually flucuating, so it is usually better to pay slightly higher to avoid an big upswing and end up with a low fee. You can try submitting to the ViaBTC TX Accelerator (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) in like the first 30 seconds of a new hour and you might get lucky and nab one of the 100 free hourly slots... At almost all other times you'll just get "Submissions beyond limit" Title: Re: Did I put in enough fees, transaction is still unconfirmed after 2 days Post by: gkler2012 on June 14, 2017, 12:19:28 PM Thanks guys, I did use an online wallet service, and it dictates the fees (I can't really change it).
My first transaction (to another address) went through in a few minutes. This one is still stuck for about 52 hours now.

Please take a look two times when you will be sending bitcoins. Don't get greedy just for 1-2$ Title: Re: Did I put in enough fees, transaction is still unconfirmed after 2 days Post by: gkler2012 on June 14, 2017, 02:59:03 PM Thanks! Transaction is confirmed now. :D
Will make sure the fee is at a good rate before sending next time. |
