Title: Unconfirmed Transactions after many hours?
Post by: InsanityDev on February 25, 2014, 06:53:20 PM
Hi,

First time I've seen this, see:
https://blockchain.info/tx/ecb466e5546602205160a58b0e41f91c31e8b7a1deb5a87b56d72da9db698bbd

Two BTC amounts, from different people, both legit, valid, but haven't made it in to any blocks for a few hours now. Any ideas, or is patience the name of the game here?

Thanks

No fees were included in both transactions, so don't complain if it takes some time to confirm.
I think the coins weren't mature enough to have a high priority score, but they should confirm in less than 24 hours.

Next time add fee, so that you dont need to wait for confirmations.

I was receiver, I always add a decent fee myself :)

Next time let those senders know that you aren't interested in engaging in any additional transactions with them until they learn how to include a proper transaction fee.  Don't encourage ignorance by failing to educate those that are making ignorant mistakes.

No fees, =no confirms for upto 2days before coin returns back to sender. Always wait for one confirmation.
