You can try submitting anytime, just that the viabtc accelerator has a limit on the number of txes they will accelerate which resets at the start of every hour, which means your chances of getting a successful acceleration is higher

Oh damn.. I read op's first thread comment and interpreted it as that he owns the private key to address 1DkYaLNdZwR4SRWX3qEsMmu473nXuAUccy.

OP, if you merely sent intended to send bitcoins to address 1DkYaLNdZwR4SRWX3qEsMmu473nXuAUccy  as a one time payment, and you do not own the address, HCP is right, you have nothing to worry as your payment was indeed received by its intended target.

However, if you mean that you own address 1DkYaLNdZwR4SRWX3qEsMmu473nXuAUccy but the payment sent to 1LvKgYwaoemuUiGyueTAHJFQrRtJyJe4qB was not done by you, you do have a problem.

I do hope that I misinterpreted your original statement and that your case is the first one, in which you have nothing to worry about, in which case I offer my apologies.


I was assuming that op was using a mnemonic phrase along with a password inside electrum

Dont worry. When a transaction is created, it is relayed and stored in the mempool until it is mined in a block or as we call it a confirmed transaction. Over time transactions with too little fees and hence are not added by miners will simply be dropped from the mempool to make room for other transactions. When that happens, basically those transactions that you send out that are not confirmed simply has the balance set back to the amounts before that tx was made , basically unspent.

if that happens though, it would be like that person never sent you the $15

If you know the person sending the tx ($15 in this case), it might be possible if he/she or you do a Child pay for Parent transaction, but with so many prior unconfirmed low fees txes you would have to add a lot of fees, not worth it.

Think about it this way, the 15$ you are trying to send as part of the 190$ was never confirmed and hence you are trying to spent something you dont have. If the txes do not get confirmed, they should get dropped out of the mempool after a few days or even weeks later. You can then hound the person who sent that $15 to you in the first place.

It is pretty much the only free transaction speeder, at least one that has been working so far. They have to limit number of transactions every hour. A lot of users use viabtc to try to speed up their low fees txes either on purpose or otherwise.

You are purchasing a crypto with fiat, people in cryptos do not like or want fiat. So you pay a premium. Pay $12usd get around $10 usd worth of cryptos after fees deduction. The same logic applies when u buy amazon gift cards from others selling them , you will usually pay 80% of the gc's actual value. Fees also change depend on exchange or services used.

There is no way for anyone to spent your bitcoins unless your wallet password is compromised which in turn means your machine has been compromised, probably with malware, are you sure you did not accidentally sent this tx https://blockchain.info/tx/995591fc0a407c52c6b8e791dd6e095d237e1e1dad2673e0c2f25e6e43aabe87 to 1LvKgYwaoemuUiGyueTAHJFQrRtJyJe4qB, the particular tx was sent with super high fees too, probably malware.

The outputs you received that were used as inputs in this transaction has a long cascade of non confirmed transactions. Your tx in particular cannot be confirmed as parent inputs has not been confirmed too.

https://blockchain.info/tx/f00c45ad6c40ef36fa71cd3525bef165c322a8baed195fe9a8840f488829dcaa in which you received some coins from 1FwhvNJJLJDETx7JFaMJFwhAVu5BdCommc  has not been confirmed
https://blockchain.info/tx/b8faede0a1d1f5a1f02ce472b8bd0b64288b3b88ee2b937d5dc4bc7ecb2cd867 which has the output sent to 115CNVyVynwctoNxckwyJ3Pjxzu6tLz6uY has not been confirmed too.

The list of inputs in tx b8faede0a1d1f5a1f02ce472b8bd0b64288b3b88ee2b937d5dc4bc7ecb2cd867 has 3 seperate addys with unconfirmed txes too.

Since you are new, you need to understand that there is no sure thing as 1% of total = fast confirmation or that usually it took a few minutes.

The tx you gave had a fee of 120 sats per byte, which will never be confirmed from my observations for at least another probably never.

120 sats per byte has never been confirmed in minutes for months.

For the correct cheapest fees to use at any point in time, consult https://bitcoinfees.21.co.

I always recommend at least 320 sats/byte for next 5 blocks transactions these past weeks

Where did you make the payment from though? Bitcoin.info web wallet? Bitcoin core? Multibit HD? Electrum?

You probably sent it to an exchange? We need more details to help you, wallet addresses? Wallet used, exchanges involved, transactions id.

Not sure if you can post outside of this board but try posting in a more relevant subforum

... How does money work?

You cannot spend money that you do not have, bitcoin transactions work the same way.

In layment terms, you create a new transactions from the outputs of a previous transaction sent to you as new inputs and transfer them over the network to the person/address you are sending to.

You are using an exchange so the above probably does not apply to you nor would you actually understand how to actually works.

If you are wondering why your balance is not deducted, check your email for goodness sake.

On another note, many exchanges have limits on the minimum you can withdraw.

1. Loads of websites to checkt he balance of a bitcoin address. Blockchain.info and many others, simply use a preferred search engine and search for "bitcoin explorer"

2. You do not want to know how bitcoin txes work, you simply want to know something regarding the wallet that you are using.
From what you have mentioned, you are using an online exchange as your bitcoin wallet, good luck with keeping your coins safe in the long run, get a desktop wallet like electrum.
If you are using an exchange, chances are you need to go to your email to confirm the bitcoin withdrawal as is standard operating procedures for all exchanges

There are 16692 txes still not confirmed in your fees range according to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

My past transactions these few days using electrum have been using at least 320 sats/byte to be within the next 5 blocks.

Under 240 have not been added to blocks for at least 10 blocks from my observations.

The current electrum fee showed for within 5 blocks is at least 290 sats.

Your 236 sats / byte fee will take more than 25 blocks.

With the agreement on activating segwit and 2Mb hard fork coming within 6 months, I fully expect a rise to at least $3k before hanging there for awhile

Criminal activities have been linked with any currency for eons, before money like seashells, farmers were exploited for livestock, after that seashells, than came paper money, gold, jewelry  , and the likes of it.

Just because bitcoin or cryptos are used for illegal activities is not proof or proper statistics that bitcoin is the reason for more crimes in the world.

1. No one will send bitcoin first , you being a newbie makes things worse.
2. It is the norm to pay a premium for bitcoin. For example, you pay $35 in paypal, you get $30 +/- in bitcoin.
3. Paypal can be charged back, even if using the friends and family option.

Why not try localbitcoins?

Other than the fact that your Quartz icon looks eerily similar to another coin that is already very well known and the fact that I need to state that I have no relationship to op at all.

I honestly do not see any innovation at all in your text laden images, whats new? All your so called features looks like the typical features any other ico has honestly, and please change that icon, i am pretty sure a reverse image search would pop up a lot of similar images.

Why are you even paying to unlock? Have you tried using wannakiwi to try decrypting your files?
https://arstechnica.com/security/2017/05/more-people-infected-by-recent-wcry-worm-can-unlock-pcs-without-paying-ransom/

With high mempool txes, the only way to get any tx quickly forwarded and confirmed is amounting to at least 300 sats / bytes or at least 3 to 4 usd in fees alone for most txes.
Try wannakiwi and see if you are lucky

Although if you have done a system reboot or restart, it probably wont work.

Pretty sure bitcoin is nothing more than an experiment too in that case. No, both bitcoin and storj works as intended, other than some kinks to work out for extremely big files, it actually works exactly as advertised, cheap decentralized storage for s3 replacement.

A lot of people simply does not understand that for each erc20 token storj bought, one counterparty sjxc token will be burned.

There are no new tokens being created. It is merely the devs creating more liquidation, although I worry about the huge amounts of sjxc the devs actually hold on to .
