in the meantime maybe we can help him learn how to set more reasonable fees? what version of electrum are you using @revenga?
I'm not an expert with Electrum, so I'm not sure how your version of Electrum chooses fees, or how to get it to forget transactions. I see that this thread has now been moved to the "Electrum" sub-forum. Hopefully, someone with more Electrum knowledge can help you with the next steps that are available to you.
In the meantime, it would be helpful to know what version of Electrum you are running.
Electrum has the option to set Dynamic fees; it will choose an optimal fee based upon the current state of the network. However, IIRC it is not enabled by default. To enable it, go to Tools > Preferences and check the box labeled "Dynamic Fees". Then you can move the fee multiplier to get a higher fee. The higher fee multiplier means that you will get a fee more likely to get your transaction confirmed in the next block. |

Transaction ID d7d21f4271b74705101edb4cc7db14
7ed5d2038ddc39cde947f75be32bb4e36f
that tx is unconfirmed. there's currently a huge backlog of unconfirmed transactions: https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/everyone is affected not just electrum users. there is nothing you can do but wait it out. No. It is not because there is a "backlog" but rather because his transaction fee is much too small. He is paying only ~10 satoshis/byte. According to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/, the current recommended fee to get the transaction into the next block is 100 satoshis/byte. |

Wow this is really bad https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-txI dont follow the developer notes and anything like that but what kind of upcoming changes or improvements is core dev going to be releasing to help solve or alleviate this issue a bit? This can't be good for the bitcoin economy if transactions can be delayed for up to 12 hours or more when some people are expecting transactions to close deals within a few hours at most. This really hinders the conveinence that BTC has suppose to offer, and it causes a lot of frustration too. Segwit is coming soon. The target release date for 0.13.1 which contains segwit is targeted for a Friday or Saturday release (Thursday if we are really lucky). Signalling for Segwit will begin on November 15th after which it will require one 2016 block retarget period where 1916 blocks signal support for segwit followed by another 2016 block retarget period as a grace period. After that segwit will activate and we will get scaling benefits as more users and wallets switch to using segwit. |

Start bitcoin core separately and let it sync. After it is fully synced, shut it down and start Armory.

I keep reporting these posts in tech support that are always posted by a brand new account with a random gibberish name. Is there no way to IP ban them or do they keep using a new IP?
They always seem to list a event going on and have a link which I don't click. This one just happened to have a lot of links but usually it's just one.
We know. The nuking bot should be catching them, but there are a few issues with it. Those users are nuked on sight. On a side note, the urls that they link to are somewhat interesting. They all link to legitimate institutions and I contacted them to let them know that they had some sort of compromise on their systems that was letting people host potentially malicious PDFs on their sites. The ones I contacted were the University of Colorado (!), some branch of the Australian Government(!), A non-profit group, a news website, and two companies. On the Aus. Gov't and the non-profit replied and they said that they have fixed the problem on their end to stop people from accessing those links so hopefully that will help. |

Thank you all for the replies. I don't quite remember how I went about setting the transaction fee because I accidentally insta-napped afterwards. So in order to make sure this doesn't happen again I should refer to the site above correct? Keep seeing this satoshi thing. Hopefully I am not screwed...  Do as I said to enable dynamic fees in Electrum. This means that Electrum will set the optimal fee based upon the current state of the network. |

Your fee is a little too low, 50 satoshis/byte. The current recommended transaction fee is 90 satoshis/byte according to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/. Just wait, it should eventually confirm. To avoid this next time, go to Tools > Preferences and check "Dynamic fees" Then move the fee multiplier towards the right to get a higher fee rate. Generally a higher fee means faster confirmation. |

I'm not terribly technical and have not been able to get my armory client online. I'm stuck in offline mode.
First of all, please do not hijack someone else's thread. Make your own thread for you own issue. Upgrade to 0.94.1 (the latest 0.95 has some windows issues) and see if that fixes the problem. |

Thank you for your comment. How would this work though, I mean what tool do I use and how? Which block do I choose in the future also?
Your lottery has to have an end time, so you would do something like choose the 6th block after the end time and take the first 4 bytes and use that as your winning number. |

Please forgive my lack of knowledge but what is the best way to send the log file? I've exported them from the program but when I try to cut and paste into a reply, it says my post exceeds the post limit for characters. Should I send a link to download the txt file from or do you prefer I copy and paste over multiple replies?
I'm new to this, thanks for your help.
Post it in a new paste on http://pastebin.com and post the link to that paste here. If it is still too big, post as much as you can from the back. |

It's probably some optimization issue with your client. I don't know of any known issues with slow parsing of the blocks.
You might want to ask this on the #bitcoin-core-dev IRC channel.

The idea is very interesting, but the page http://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/ very long time to open. Then for a long time analyzing your account. If you increase the download speed will be very interesting project because bitcointalk.org has a lot of users. i aggre this site very very slow to open in browser, maybe need upgrade to new hosting service like goodady or using vps  It probably has nothing to do with the hosting , It's simply because there is too much calculations to do (imagine thousands of posts) and I don't think there is an API for the forums to make things easier , there should be one available after the epochtalk release : https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk/wiki/Epochtalk-API-Documentationmany things that lead to the site can not be opened bandwith limit or low resouce like cpu / ram because many proses in background and upgrade hosting to vps or dedicated server is best idea, is just a suggestion That happens whenever the db gets too big. I've cleared out the db and restarted it. It should be working now. |

That is a service issue. Contact their support. Users here cannot help you.

Guys i would like to ask if there is alternative for Json-rpc because it needs to downl the whole blockchain in bitcoin-qt when i installing in the server.. do you have alternative that dont need any VPS service just online service that has JSON-rpc command or api comman to connect to website or gambling casino?
JSON-RPC is a specification for RPCs in general, not just for Bitcoin Core. A lot of block explorers have APIs which you can call to get info from. |

For all this time I've thought that scam and ponzi are the same thing but after seeing the comment "It's not a scam, it's a Ponzi." I realized that I'm wrong. What's the difference?
A ponzi scheme is a type of scam. Scams encompass a very wide field of activities. A scam can be someone simply claiming to sell something and you paying them but they don't send. A scam can also be a ponzi scheme. Specifically a ponzi scheme is any type of investment scheme where participants are investing their money and the money that they invested is used to pay the investors before them. You can read more about them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme |
