Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys

Can someone please tell me why it's almost 24 hours now and my transaction is still not confirmed?

I know i paid the wrong fee but i am willing to add more just to speed this up.

Can someone tell me what the eta for my transaction to be confirmed?

Transaction id is fb26115545e28a4fd60d9d588ab191bbbbd7a8c41c09c5f74fc8742f6bcb7a67

The transaction has only 1 confirmation since yesterday. This might be due to the transaction fee of 0.0006 btc .
Do not worry has it has got 1 confirmation, it will probably be done by tomorrow. When you make a transaction next time be sure to give at least 0.001 btc of transaction fee as it makes the transaction done faster.

My suggestion is that you give it some time. Network or some issue aside what you raised may be responsible.

There are some Transaction accelerator Services for free on this Forum.

For example:

hi,
im in the same situation, more than 24hours and still nothing...please keep me updated of your issue..can't wait anymore :(

Yes the included fee is not enough for fast confirmation with the current condition of the mempool [Busy and loaded with unconfirmed transactions] as well as for the transaction size.
You can use these guides next time. Your included fee should be dependent on your transaction size as well as the current network confition: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com l
https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx l


Options depends on which wallet you're using but for now you can try using these transaction accelerator services

Antpool (https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx) [An account is needed]
Viabtc (https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) [A minimum of  0.0001BTC/KB is needed]
Confirmtx (https://confirmtx.com/) [Only transactions under 500bytes are free]

I just checked OP's transaction and it has already been included on block 493760 and has 21 confirmations at the moment.

please when send bitcoin try to send it without change because some wallet (that not support RBF )when send bitcoin with small fee with lost it

wait a bit and it will be done soon.
just give a bigger fee next time

Like everyone else said, you sent a really low fee.

Please wait more
Maybe the system is under maintenance

if  transaction get 1 confirmation it will be arrive less than 1 hour after that

ja i think its cus u transaction fee not enough .

Apparently, on blockchain.info when you choose a decent fee (the standard one), there is a "bug" (or not sure how to call it), that changes the fee and makes it like 0.0000XX, not sure why but this is what 's happening since a few days for a few people now.

I also experienced this few days ago.
I was using Cryptonator to send my bitcoin.
I don't know why it's like this, cause the fee should ain't be problem after all.
Probably full of transaction blocks?

it will be confirmed. it could be the traffic or the network or peradventure you didn't use enough fee

Keep calm and stay wait server is under maintance

I'm having the same problem I have sent from Jaxx and Copay and Bitfinex with Jaxx and Copay I sent using the fastest and highest fee option with Bitfinex I don't control the fee. I have multiple transactions well over 50BTC and it has been over 24hrs for some. I see everyone saying to wait and pay a higher fee. I have done both and still nothing is there any other info on why this is happening?

TL;DR: The network is busy

Long Version:
They say a picture is worth a thousand words... here are two.

The first shows the level of unconfirmed transactions over the last 24 hours... you'll note there has been more than 40,000 unconfirmed transactions almost the entire 24 hours... and it has now reached the 100,000 unconfirmed transaction mark.

The second shows the fee rates being used... Note the highlighted line at 280-300 sats/byte... that indicates there are near 11 megabytess worth of transactions at or above this level at this point in time... that is over 10 blocks worth of transactions... given blocks occur on average once every 10 minutes, it would take an average of 100 minutes for those transactions to all get mined... assuming NO more transactions are added... given the number of unconfirmed transactions has been climbing all day, its safe to assume a LOT of new transactions are being added... most likely with large fees for fast confirmation times.

What fee rate was YOUR transaction at?

Thank you for that that is a great response and very helpful. I paid 500 and 510 sats. Not sure about the ones done by bitfinex.

I absolutely agree

So, it will happen if you send bitcoins with low fee, now I will make sure that I will send with a higher fee to avoid this kind of situation. I hope you'll receive your coins OP and make sure to be more careful when sending some coins.

yesterday I also more than 24 hours send bitcoin from cryptonator to VIP, but still sent. maybe it's because there are so many transactions that cause your transaction delay

may be a factor of the fee block
the bigger the better
or it could be so many transaction killing della

The problem is network wide. Wayyyy to many unconfirmed, I am at 24 hours as well. It's probably that BCH supporters are spamming the network but also many people are FOMO/FUD into moving coins which adds to the congestion.

I'm a bit confused here. If it has received one confirmation, then it must have been included in a block, and the confirmations will build on this. The only way it won't increase is if the transaction went into an orphan block, and then the transaction has to be returned to the pool.

Have I misunderstood something?

if almost 24hrs your transaction hasent been confirmed,then there are two things expected,
1: to sit back,Relax and waut for your coin back to your wallet.
2: its hard to believe that its lost  :)

24 hours is quite normal time considering the fees you have attached. By the way your transaction has been confirmed as of now. If in future you are trapped in some similar drama just rebroadcast transaction and see if it helps. If rebroadcasting is useless generally all private key wallets allow you to delete transactions and send btc again with a higher fees. This doesn't really deletes the transaction from network but the transaction with higher fees overlays the other so the one with higher gets transacted quickly.

Same here , I made two transaction , one was two days ago and still nothing
I think bitcoin is going to be useless and looks weak network :-[

270k unconfirmed transactions atm. If this increase even more, start seeing people panic because they can't get their bitcoins back. And you know what happen then, fud starts, greater unconfirmed transactions stocking and fees going to the moon.

It's possible with everyone panic selling that a lot of transactions won't be processed due to the fact they are neglected by the miners, who prioritize the ones with higher fees involved.

Also, remember that if the miners start seeing that there is more value on mining BCH instead of BTC, BTC transactions could remain in the limbo for ever.

I've just made a deposit with a fee of 33 euro and this got through almost instantly. Ofcourse I understand not everyone wants to pay these kind of fees, they are way to high. But as you've said, their transactions/second are way to low.
I'm currently all in on Xtrabytes, they are aiming for 10k transactions / second, Bitcoin could learn from that ^^

Satoshi said Bitcoin is better than Bank because of fees , but right now fees are going to moon
You mean i pay $100 for $1000 transfering?! hell , no ,,, This isn't fair anymore

I think it's just the normal fee since you are transferring your Bitcoin to another wallet, although it's a bit bigger than now compared before which is only 5% and now it is at 10%. If you want to talk about Bank vs Bitcoin the debate is already been on this forum for a long time, banks are different compared to Bitcoin.
