Title: Transactions still not processed after 9 hours
Post by: vlad06 on June 20, 2017, 09:32:02 PM
Hey all,

I've had BTC for a bit, but I've never seen this before so I'm a n00b when it comes to technical issues.

I transferred BTC from Bitstamp to Polo and YoBit 9 hours ago and neither have arrived. The addresses are correct and in YoBit I can see the amount as a 'pending deposit.'

I used blockchain explorer to check it out and I can see that the transfers are there as 'unconfirmed transactions'

What can I do about this? I've never had transfer take so bloody long.

Thanks

I think there is a surge in transaction fees today. I also have a pending deposit from Bleutrade to Cryptopia, which I paid (fixed) fees of 0.001BTC and its size is 367Byte only. There is nothing we can do about exchanges fees other than accelerating them using ViaBTC, or waiting.

You have no other choice but to wait for it to confirm. Mind posting the tx id just for reference?

I currently have an ongoing transaction too which now on 4 hours. The fees is around 120,000 satoshis. Well no choice but to wait as we have nothing do to increase it. ViaBTC is crowded too I can't able to access it.

I suspected it might be a waiting game. I didn't see an option on Bitstamp to increase the fee either.

Thank you both.

If you can post the bitcoin transaction id, a few folks on here might be able to shorten the wait for you.

Hey Vlad,

There are a few little tricks that can be used to get your transaction pushed through... there is the "ViaBTC TX Accelerator (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/)"... it has become quite popular in recent times, and they only have 100 slots per hour, so you may find that you get "Submissions Beyond Limit" if you try to submit your transaction ID. The trick is to submit in the first few seconds of a new hour...

Otherwise, if you post your transaction ID here, there are some forum users (including myself) who may be able to assist through other means ;)
