Title: with a high fee, no confirmations in seven hours Post by: thr33pwood on November 12, 2017, 06:59:02 AM hey, I cant understand why my transaction is taking over seven hours.
my fee is high - 1,52mB d0efdb1b709aa91d53c8bebf7750bdc7b501fb0fbe7a0a4afc7e0da140e77a7f 1HFrbYGYj8QEucEyvSbAgoMzDci4EyCtXb Im using bitcoin wallet 5.38 thanx Title: Re: with a high fee, no confirmations in seven hours Post by: RGBKey on November 12, 2017, 07:03:47 AM Your fee is high, but the network is more congested than normal. You'll just have to be patient and wait it out, probably about another 24-48 hours.

high fees and a congested network seems to be a problem right now :-\ Title: Re: with a high fee, no confirmations in seven hours Post by: RGBKey on November 12, 2017, 07:26:17 AM thanks for sharing high fees and a congested network seems to be a problem right now :-\ You can watch https://fork.lol to see when Bitcoin is more profitable to mine than BCH, which will let you know when the miners will move back over, and https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24h to see the current status of the mempool by fee size.

Seems my transaction too would take 2 days to confirm :(
