Title: Long time bitcoiner, first time poster Post by: Sinks22 on October 13, 2017, 09:29:45 PM I am sure this question is asked numerous times but can someone please advise on why this bitcoin transfer is taking so long? I am the person receiving and it has been over 36 hours. I have never had to wait longer than 6 - 10 hours at the most. I have tried increasing the fees, parent/child, etc... I just want to know what is going on and if this will for sure complete? Any idea on how much longer to expect? Thanks for any advice you can give!

See https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx .
Usually, fees get lower on Sunday, so I expect it'll confirm within 48 hours.

For a size that big, the fee was too low furthermore the mempool is currently loaded with tons of unconfirmed transaction thats why its no wonder your transaction is stuck right now. Before sending a transaction kindly use a fee estimator like https://bitcoinfees.21.co and check if the mempool is loaded or not. There are free transaction acceleration services like viabtc and here on our forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2204426.0 Unfortunately, https://confirmtx.com charges $4 for transactions exceeding 500bytes Anyways I'll try quequeing your transaction in viabtc EDIT: I successfully quequed it EDIT: Viabtc included your transaction (https://btc.com/6a2381f0b228bf9d2d9d9e61ed44177de5c5c6d0f28a41731bac4c579a3c8019) in block 489718 (https://btc.com/000000000000000000dff7f914388081d6987453a040e23630ff56737dbe1c95) Title: Re: Long time bitcoiner, first time poster Post by: Sinks22 on October 13, 2017, 11:45:40 PM Wow, I must just be used to reddit.
