Title: Need help with confirmations
Post by: scoob on October 17, 2017, 07:29:59 PM
I am new sort of still, but was told to ask miners if they could help my transaction if it is not confirming (not sure why) .... I just signed up at this forum to ask for help... Would be greatly appreciated I will go to tech support thread also.

Just wanted to ask a miner for help directly if possible.

I'm guessing you didn't include a sufficient transaction fee.

Now you need to find a pool to include your transaction in one of their blocks.  You'll need to post your transaction ID and hope some altruistic pool operator will include it for you.

Next time make sure you pay a transaction fee high enough to get it into a block.

There is a free service to help give a push towards getting the transaction to finally go through.

unfortunately they only take so many transactions per hour so you might have to wait and try again later if it says it already did as much as it can for now.
