Title: Help! Transaction not confirming can anyone help?
Post by: Protagonus on May 15, 2013, 02:52:04 AM
Hi, I tried to send 1 btc (my third time ever to send).  It has been an hour and still showing 0 of 6 confirmations.  Can anyone help?
Send Address:  131HToGCY9zx9Y5cDAF6ZiZWmroLceDFmA
Transaction ID: cb64d969c97e0c497eb138f6657046e9474f8925b07d5c4eee675a89534a5738

I didn't think it was supposed to take this long or did I mess something up?  I DID triple check the address given by btce, so that's right I guess.  My 2 other transactions I've ever done went through after a while, but I got one confirm within 20 min.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

You didn't include a transaction fee.  One isn't required for this transaction, but without one you have to wait for miners that are willing to confirm free transactions to solve a blocks, and then depending on how many other free transactions were waiting around before you created yours you may have to wait a while until they get to yours.  It should confirm eventually, but it might take a few hours.

Thank you so much for checking!!!
Ok whew!  I didn't know if it was lost or what.  I can wait if that's all I need to do.  Just wasn't sure if something bad happened

I'll be sure to send with fee's next time I guess heh.

EDIT:  BTW,  what would be the appropriate amount to set in my QT for btc per KB if I send 1btc?

Looks like you've got a few confirmations finally.  You should most likely have 6 confirmations within the next 30 minutes or so.

0.0005 is the standard fee. That is point triple-zero five.

If it's in the blockchain the transaction can't be lost, just maybe delayed longer than you'd like.  ;)

Certainly, but the problem that had Protagonus concerned was that the transaction was not yet in the blockchain after several hours.
