Title: Transaction not confirming, transaction fee too low?
Post by: SWC1985 on May 09, 2013, 07:51:35 AM
I made a transaction from my phone to my PC yesterday evening. It's almost been 12 hours but it's not confirming. Did I do something wrong, is the transaction fee too low?

I know it will get confirmed eventually, but I want to know if I can do anything to prevent a slow transaction in the future?

Your fee looks typical for a transaction such as that.  I'm not sure why it took so long (it has 35 confirmations right now).  Perhaps a slightly higher fee may have helped it get confirmed sooner.
