Title: This is crazy - what do I do now?????????
Post by: russelluk on November 12, 2017, 09:40:26 AM
Ok I have put a transaction fee of 4000 sat/B which is 4 times the max recommended for current network conditions and my transaction is stuck at 2 out 6 six transactions to get my coins into Coinbase. What does this mean - do miners stop doing something at 2 confirmations or something. I have been up all night trying to get my Bitcoins from my paper wallets into my Coinbase account so at least I am in a position to sell if I want. I have been through transaction accelerators and everyone. What the hell do I do now!!!!!!!!

What is the transactionID?

If your transaction had 2 confirmations more than 70 minutes ago, then your transaction almost certainly already has more than 6 confirmations now.

There have been 5 blocks mined just in the last 20 minutes (currently network is at block 494094), so I would double check your confirmations. However, it seems that it took an hour for a block 494088 to be mined so this might be when you where stuck for an hour. This is natural for the blockchain, sometimes you get many blocks in 10 minutes, sometimes you wait an hour for just one. It is random.

Disclaimer: I am currently using a BlockExplorer.com which seems a bit of buggy at a moment so I might be wrong.

Patience is key with all things crypto, from hodling to even waiting for abaited confirmations and trading....
