Title: Unconfirmed transaction
Post by: vortexz on February 15, 2016, 05:21:14 PM

why is it not getting confirmed ?
is there a change that it won't get confimed?
someone bought my 4 miners I don't know if I can give them to him already ?
will the transaction get confirmed 100% ?
is it safe to give him the miners already ?
thanks

The fee is clearly not standard on this case and that's why it's taking longer than usual for this transaction to get confirmed but it happened to me in the past as well and it got confirmed like in 2 to 3 hrs from the time of sending however , wait for the confirmation first before giving your miners to him. And lastly, next time, remove the /ro/ from the transaction so it would be in english ;)

Can the sender cancel the transaction by any means and resend it with a higher fee?

The sender could attempt an RBF transaction. Basically it is just the same transaction but it has a higher fee. The fee would need to be at least 0.0024138BTC

You need to wait for 4-5 hours as the fee is less and it will take 6 blocks to get confirmed. I had a similar scenario and the transaction took 3-4 hours to get confirmed.

You can read about RBF here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3uphgv/eli5_what_is_rbfreplacebyfee/

No. Wait till you receive 1 confirmation and then it's safe to give him the miners.

it finally got confirmed.
poor guy had to wait 2 hours before I could release him the miners :P
and it was not his fault, the sender was another guy, the guy at my house was just the delivery boy:P
