I sended some (bit less than 6) bitcoins from bitcoin.de to my wallet and still no confirmations  ???

It is normal, they sent this bitcoin without a properly fee : https://blockchain.info/tx/8ab3bacb2fc7645b5abccf6ef1b8a251c60fef54164a773321974a602d62c40b  The min. recommended is 1000 satoshi/Kb. However don't worry in the next few hours (4-5 ) it will be confirmed, it is only 357 byte of weight.

so it's the fault of the exchange?  ::) anyways happy to hear it will be confirmed soon

and i cant access the blockchain link, why did they block my ip? i didnt do anything wrong

I have never used bitcoin.de (is it a sort of exchange?) a marketplace but usually it puts "automatically" the correct fee (or the seller should put the fee?).


What do you mean? Can't you access here  : https://blockchain.info/de/wallet/login

usually they do have always a fee(the standard one 10k, or the more common 20k satoshi), it seems strange this case without fee, check the transaction

Perhaps you are using Tor or an IP that has been blacklisted by them. Try using btc.blockr.io and search the TXID from there.

i dont use tor or anything
and i dont know why my ip would be blacklisted
thanks, ill try them

The transaction is already sent so i guess you can now lock this thread. Anyway next time put a 0.0001 BTC fee so that it can be sent with "priority"

Are you blocked when trying to access your wallet there or just the explorer?

It works for me, it now shows conformations.

But yes always make sure to add enough fee to your transactions.

Both the wallet and the explorer I guess since they are on the same domain. Last time I tried to access it on tor, I was also blocked. There is a tor address for people on tor to access it however.

You can try using a VPN for accessing blockchain.info. You can get a free VPN at hide.me (they will also explain you all the process to setup the vpn).


just to correct you, its not 1000satoshi/kb, the fee is 0.0001BTC/kb I.e 10000satoshi/kb.

This site will explain it to you - http://bitcoinfees.com/

I said the minimum possible fee is 1000 satoshi/Kb, It is normal that the transaction will not receive a *fast* confirmation but with 1000 satoshi it will be confirmed in less than 24 hours (every 'usage' has his quantity of fee, and everyone can put however he wants).

"Alternatively you can go for the minimum possible fee of 1000 satoshi for a transaction, but that could be slow as well, though it is still better than not to pay a transaction fee at all."

I had tested out your claim of minimum fee of 1000satoshi/kb before posting.
I created a transaction, it had a pretty decent output, had a size of some 400bytes and I had put on the fee as 1000satoshi. My transaction failed after like 48hours, that's why I don't think that 1000satoshi/kb fee is enough.

It is the minimum fee that bitcoin core requires for them to relay your transactions. If your priority is too low, you would still have to pay a higher fee.

You haven't used the proper fee or it seems that exchange you've used is too greedy and is saving even these few cents required for fee rofl.
