Bitcoin Forum

Hi,

I have a problem with my transaction like lots of people. Many of us are asking for acceleration, me as well. But after acceleration some of them me inclusive have still been waiting for confirmation  :-[.
Transactions can be confirmed by miners as far as I know. And as far as I know some of the miners can confirm, but some can only accelerate.

My question is how to become a miner that can confirm a transaction?

E.g. I've installed Windows Bitcoin Miner, but I can't see any transactions, and accelerate and confirm as well. Should I buy some cloud contract or expensive equipment? Or with a right software, it is also possible?

Thank you in advance.

Another question would be, who knows miners who can both accelerate and confirm transactions for a fee?

What's difference between acceleration and confirmation? Accelerate means getting tranaction confirmed quickly and that "confirm" is the same. In this situation these both words are the same. Yes, miners can confirm but you need to be very serious miner. By installing that you can't include because I guess with your pc you just can't mine bitcoin. Those miners have very big hashrate. As far as I know QuickSeller has access on f2pool transaction selector, sk cobtact him here. P.S no one accelerates for free. You can try viabtc for free but there is limit of 100 transaction in one hour and you have to be ultra fast to make your trabsaction included in it's list.

Every miner can only confirm transactions. Acceleration just means that they will give priority to your transaction in the next block they mine which for big miners is every couple of hours.

I am unfamiliar with "Windows Bitcoin Miner" and most are just malware. You can't just download a miner anymore, you need to buy special hardware in order to do any Bitcoin mining. I would suggest that you reinstall your OS as your computer is probably infected with malware (then again which PC that is running Windows isn't ? ).

As I said, one guy accelerated my transaction, as he said (I can't check it out, what exactly happened with my transaction). But what I see that it is still unconfirmed. So he said he gave prio to my transaction. Why do you say that every miner can only confirm? Direct after that you explain about an acceleration. But it is not the same as confirmation, isn't it?

So if I buy special hardware, can I at least confirm my own transaction, and I mean confirm not simply accelerate? (I read that profitability of the mining is very unpredictable, that's why I written 'at least'). What are minimal requirements for this hardware? Does this hardware contain all needed software as well?

(I have a Norton Antivirus. E.g. MinerGate Software was as malware identified and removed. But on Windows Miner, it didn't react.)

I don't know the difference between acceleration and confirmation because I've never seen this with my eyes as a miner. But what I see my transaction isn't confirmed yet. And one guy in this forum said that he accelerated my transaction. From these two facts, I concluded that confirmation and acceleration aren't the same.
Do you know someone who can 100 % confirm my transaction for a fee? I'll try to contact QuickSeller.

How to become a miner that can confirm transactions? What are minimal requirements?
What do you mean 'I have to be ultra fast'? Do you mean I can influence the process? How?

Just starting to mine isn’t enough. In order to confirm transactions, your hardware needs to be powerful enough to actually solve blocks. But mining pools might take requests for including your transaction, likely for a fee.

First of all, antiviruses are good at stopping wide spread well known infections. They are horrible at actually detecting viruses that are somewhat new, not wide spread yet or are staying dormant for  a while. Don't expect from an antivirus to protect you, especially if you are downloading unpopular software from the Internet.

Secondly, it is definitely a virus since there is nothing else that it can be. It is not an actual miner, as I said, you need special hardware called ASICs for mining Bitcoin. I heard of these things many times, these viruses are common in the cryptoworld, they often pose as a wallet or for even more naive, as a miner or some kind of Bitcoin generator or even hacking tool for hacking Bitcoin. Or whatever a newbie will believe that makes absolutely no sense at all if you have any grasp of how Bitcoin actually works.

Acceleration is not a technical term, confirmation is. Acceleration is no specific operation, confirmation is.
Acceleration is just a term people use to say "your transaction will be confirmed faster then it usually would, since I will confirm it even tho I usually wouldn't because of it's low fee". So asking for a program to accelerate makes no sense, neither does your Windows Bitcoin Miner.

All the "Acceleration"  would do is include your transaction in the next block that service mines.

I.e - Viabtc accelerator once you submit your transaction to them they will include the transaction in the next block VIAbtc mine.

Seems you didn't read my post carefully. I told you to be ultra fast when trying to get your transaction included on viabtc's accelerator since they have limit of 100 transaction and that limit filles in less than a second. Difference between acceleration and confirmation wasn't until but now some people call acceleration to broadcasting your transaction, in reality it does almost nothing, just gives a little unnoticable push to network. Confirmation (still posted as acceleration on viabtc, btc.com....) is that your transactions gets high priority and when they mine block, they include your transaction in it and for example if you had to wait for days with your fee, after accelerating it (not broadcasting), you get confirmation in minutes/hours...
