Title: My bitcoin transaction did not confirm blockchain
Post by: Queen999 on October 24, 2017, 01:55:07 AM
I have sent some bitcoins from my blockchain wallet 20 hours ago but they did not confirm my transaction right now. I was used minimum  transaction fee for that. When I used minimum transaction fee other days it was confirmed between 2-3 hours. What happened this transaction? What I will do? Please don't judge my english and help me. Thanks!

Can you tell us how much is your exact transaction fee? and what wallet you're using. Most wallet's default transaction fees(Super economy, economy, urgent, etc) aren't optimized well so I always suggest using a custom transaction fee instead. Currently the blockchain has around 30,000 unconfirmed transaction so you definitely need to go a bit higher with the fees. https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

and give us your transaction ID while you're at it.

Thanks for your response. My transaction fee was 0.11$ and my wallet is blockchain wallet. This is my transaction

You only paid 5.04 sats per byte, which is definitely quite low. Next time a safer tx fee would be at around 18-30 sats/byte as long as you're not in a rush. I personally don't use blockchain.info's wallet so I really don't know if they allow custom fees.

Anyway, I placed your txID on a transaction accelerator so hopefully it gets through. I really don't know how long though, probably need to wait a bit until all those queued transactions goes through.
