Title: First Bitcoin Transaction, 0 Confirmations :( Post by: nickersonion on August 08, 2012, 04:52:25 AM I used Bitinstant to send $25 USD to my Bitcoin Wallet address. I'm using Bitcoin Wallet 0.6.3 Beta Client.
Sent: 8/7/2012 21:07 Status 0/unconfirmed I didn't realize until after the transaction had completed that I should have added a transaction fee of 0.001 BTC, so it was set at 0 by default, maybe this is slowing it down. I encrypted my wallet before the transaction had completed. Doesn't look like the wallet is able to be decrypted. It says that the wallet is encrypted and currently locked, and I am up to date with synchronization to the Bitcoin network. That took a while but it's done now. It's been almost an hour and no confirmations. Any ideas? Bitcoin seemed like such a great currency. Thanks, Nick Title: Re: First Bitcoin Transaction, 0 Confirmations :( Post by: TheBitcoinChemist on August 08, 2012, 04:53:50 AM patience. By choosing to not pay the fee, you can expect it to be delayed until it's aged enough to be picked up by a miner as a free transaction.

How long do you think that will take? How long would it take if I had paid the fee? I can't spend the bitcoins until I have confirmations, huh?

Thanks. Just until OzCoin and EclipseMC finds a block, because they usually include all transactions in their blocks. |
