Title: 9 Hours and BTC Transfer is still 0 Confirmations
Post by: Ace5high on July 02, 2013, 06:52:53 AM
I made 1 small transfer 9 hours ago and my wallet is still showing 0 confirmations of 6... The funds still didn't transfer... I've NEVER seen a transaction take anywhere near this long, How could there not be a single confirmation in the past 9 hours?

How could there not be a single confirmation in the past 9 hours?

One explanation could be that your client isn't updated to the most recent block, and thus isn't showing the confirmations that might have occurred.  Check the transaction ID with Blockchain.info for a second source to verify that the transaction has been broadcast and does not yet have any confirmations.

Additionally, if the transaction uses INPUTs that themselves haven't confirmed yet, then even if your transaction has a fee paid it won't get confirmed until those INPUTs it relies on have confirmed.

Is the problem persisting yet?

^this^

It is really difficult to determine what problem you are experiencing without additional information.

Could you supply any of the following?

  • transactionID
  • bitcoin address you sent to
  • receiving bitcoin address where you received the bitcoins that you sent
