Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, I have transfered some money from blockchain.info to bittrex. Its almost 24 hours and still 0 confirms. I paid really big fee, more than 20 GBP. Blockchain.info is also showing me that "amount of transaction while send 2GBP". But there is pending deposit on bittrex showing me right amount. So should I wait? Or what is going on? This was probably biggest fee I have paid for money transfer ever.

Post you TXID here so we can now if it's really sufficient enough as the miner fees greatly depends on the size of your transaction (Input/s & Output/s) and the current network condition. The network is congested right now (280+ unconfirmed transactions) so your included fee should be higher than usual.

To clarify, How much did you send in btc?

Due to network delay been shows in the all the wallet provider site you will find the bitcoin transaction delayed even with the high fees as transaction fee as well. Keep transacting till the next fork would not be recommend. Even theymos pinned the same message in the forum headline july 28 to August 1st because of the hard fork.
You may try to accelerate your transaction with the acceleration tool available in online but I am not sure that your transactions will confirmed soon or not.

Since the transaction fee is increasing day by day i think you will experience of slow or stuck transaction..
Better to give us the TXID of your transaction so that we know what is the reason why your transaction still unconfirmed..
Like the above said the only way that can help you use some accelerate service where mostly posted in services section for free..
The free accelerator online like in antpool and viabtc are disable so i think paid service would be better option if you really wanted to receive your bitcoin in few  hours..

The fee was high, the price was high, so your problem is defined. The reason why your transaction has no confirmations because a lot of transactions have been pending in the mempool and the lighting network is yet to be introduced to resolve the transaction fee and confirmation time issue. Either you can wait or try accelerating your transaction in antpool's free service.

I have heard that network delay because of huge transaction been done by the trader and all along. You will get the transaction fees delay every web wallet as I noticed. Some wallet provider banners that I will get the in every transaction I have done. Really fed up about the transaction fee now because I think it is the all time highest fees in every time.

Bitcoin's craze has attracted so many new users, that at this point in time Bitcoin's limitations are mainly responsible for this. It just can't keep up with the growth. If we look at the fees a bit more in detail, then they have gone up significantly as per their fiat value, but not that much as per their Bitcoin value, and that's something people tend to discard. They just look at the fiat value of each transaction, and based on that consider it to be very high. The main reason for the fees to have a higher fiat value, is related to the x15 increase of the price. If we were still hovering around the $1k level, the fees wouldn't be $10 on average, but more like $0.60-$0.70 per transaction.

I don't know if this is being confirmed already or not seeing on the fees set was 20 gbp is indeed high. Theres no really need to panic as long you do see theres a pending deposit into your bittrex account and thing you should do is wait since you cant really control miners to prioritize your transactions because there are lots of pending transactions into the network and they would normally prioritize those tx who do have higher fees than you.
