Title: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: Online24o0n on November 19, 2013, 03:33:59 AM Is this normal now, I have not sent any btc in a while. I just sent some and after 90 minutes it still has no confirms, should i be worried, or is this normal at this point in time?
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: devthedev on November 19, 2013, 03:37:10 AM This usually happens due to the fact that you may have forgotten to send the BTC with a miner's fee.
How much BTC did you transact? Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: applelover on November 19, 2013, 03:39:10 AM i also sent 4 bitcoins earlier today, with no transaction fee, and for 6 hours now there are no confirmations. first time this has happened.
what is the recommended transaction fee? Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: Online24o0n on November 19, 2013, 03:40:12 AM it never asked me for a fee, sometimes it does, sometimes it dosent... i sent only 1 btc

Post by: devthedev on November 19, 2013, 03:46:28 AM it never asked me for a fee, sometimes it does, sometimes it dosent... i sent only 1 btc I recommend just waiting a few more hours. I heard some people are complaining this. Maybe the network is too busy since crazy market flow? I assume that's possible. Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: Online24o0n on November 19, 2013, 03:51:22 AM Ok, im just damned worried, its my only bitcoin, and i dont have much else, i need it for rent and whatnot..... i hope it goes through.
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: devthedev on November 19, 2013, 03:52:28 AM I'm sure it will, I have 2BTC in my name. But, I use Cold Storage generally.

Havent seen you since coinchat. Yea I'm seeing problems with the network today too - See Bitminter: https://blockchain.info/address/19PkHafEN18mquJ9ChwZt5YEFoCdPP5vYB I'm also waiting for a withdrawl from mt gox which i put in 12 or so hours ago. Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: BurtW on November 19, 2013, 04:03:11 AM With this much traffic it is a good idea to add a little "tip" for the miners on top of the recommended fee. The miners will appreciate it and put your transaction to the top of the queue.
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: Online24o0n on November 19, 2013, 04:05:08 AM Ok, ill keep it in mind, but i think once it goes through ill just put it back in my wallet and keep it there until i sell it, its freaking me out when its in limbo like this

The miners will appreciate it and put your transaction to the top of the queue. My services and wallets do not let me specify the trx fee. Should I be utilizing something like armory or electrum instead of the standard android client? Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: crazy_rabbit on November 19, 2013, 04:08:32 AM I sent with bblockchain and I have the same problem. Normally the fee is added automatically but not this one. I am going to be waiting a few days for it to show up I think. :-(

Should I be utilizing something like armory or electrum instead of the standard android client? Curious: what wallet/service are you using that does not allow you to add on a fee? What do you mean by "standard android client" - there are many android clients. Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: GriTBitS on November 19, 2013, 04:12:07 AM im going on 8 hours, but forgot i had my fee set at, .00000001 so who knows how much longer
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: cardcomm on November 19, 2013, 06:25:51 AM I've been waiting for 10+ hours... My tx fee was 0.0001
Should have been higher I guess - that's what that darn blockchain.info added automatically :/ Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: lindatess on November 19, 2013, 08:51:07 AM I hope the network will be able to cope when bitcoin goes mainstream. I assume this will mean we will see something like 1 million (approaching fast) or 1 billion transactions a day.

Post by: Blazey on November 19, 2013, 12:47:59 PM the most secure way it is to use blockchain or an third party wallet like multibit, electrum, which automatically addend a fee. i do not trust the default qt wallet somehow, as i have many problems with it, from not loading up, to long waiting synchronize for me when i use new computers after a while.
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: devthedev on November 19, 2013, 03:50:35 PM The most secure way to store BTC is on a paper wallet (Cold Storage)
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: squall1066 on November 19, 2013, 03:54:10 PM I sent a small amount to cex and it taken 14 hours to get one confirm lol.
Title: Re: 90 minutes and no confirms? Post by: Online24o0n on November 19, 2013, 04:35:44 PM Finally, it went through. I threw it straight back into my wallet..... whewww
