Thanks guys & MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! It can take a few second to an hour or more for one confirmation. Does that answer your question?

Thanks guys & MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! As Burt said, between 10 minutes and an hour is most likely. You can pay a small miners fee to speed the process up. You can see a graph of the average times here: https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-confirmation-time A little bit more info can be found here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15127991/bitcoin-how-quickly-are-transactions-verified Title: Re: How long does a bitcoin transaction always be?

I think there not really a maximum time, it just stays in the transaction pools of the miners until maybe a timeout.Title: Re: How long does a bitcoin transaction always be?

Even with no confirmation, if (a) all inputs are confirmed, (b) the tx has reasonable fee, and (c) there is no double spend detected in 10 seconds or so, the tx will very likely be included later. Of course, if you are transfering or receiving a rather large amount, you should get at least 6 confirmations before proceeding the next step. |
