Title: Transaction stuck in unconfirm status for over 20 hours
Post by: fuggedit on January 08, 2014, 11:24:59 PM
like the title says, this was a transaction of a small amount, (.o4btc) to a gaming site (btcvideocasino). It has been since last night waiting, which is strange since most if not all money i send to that site end up in my acct within seconds. I dont know whether it is an error on the site side or on the blockchain network side. The network propogation is stcuk around 0-2% very poor. What do I do? I sent an email to the casino admin, however so I send an email to blockchain as well? If it stays stuck, will it eventually just get lost? Thanks for answering.

P.S. Every time I check it, it says it will be confirmed in like 6 hours, then I chek again and it says it will be cofirmed in 11 minutes. Then I check again and it goes back to like 10 hours. Whats the deal?

And it has 0% and no nodes now. It says 7 minutes but I know that they will prolong it when that 7 min is up. I had a fee tacked to it of .0002 as well so I dont think the miners would push it down to the bottom.. Why is this??

When I hover over the small triangle, it says:
" This transaction has a very small output and is none standard"

Also when I sent a small amt to the same adress it was immediately accepted into my casino acct within seconds.. This is just strange, nyone know why this happened? And what happens if it never gets confirmed? Will it stick in limbo forever and I will never get it back?

Have you closed you wallet client? It needs to be open to complete the transaction for some altcoins. I just discover recently.

Yes, your transaction is now confirmed:

Congratulations!  You hit the jackpot!

Seriously I don't see anything wrong with it.  It looks like you paid the correct fee.

No problem, I've gotten scared a few times before as well.  If you want to understand why it took so long, here's a good resource on how transactions work:https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees).  Basically all your inputs in this transaction were "young" so they had a low priority.  As you waited and the inputs got older your transaction gained priority and was eventually included in the blockchain.
