It seems to me that ever since the transaction fees skyrocketed steadily and the backlog filled up with unconfirmed transactions, everyone's been discussing how the LN could change that.

My questions are:

1. When is LN expected to be implemented? Given the current state of the network, this has to be priority number 1 for the Bitcoin Core devs. So a concrete date or at least a rough estimate should be on the table. Not "some time in 2018".

2. Is there anyone that can prevent it from happening? Like the miners, for instance, because the current status quo is in their favor, and the way I see it, they got no reason to lose out on miner fees. Hence, could they do something to stop LN or delay it considerably?

For some reason ViaBTC's accelerator has not been working since I tried it yesterday - tried numerous times to accelerate my transaction, straight on the hour, in the very first second of a new hour - Submissions are beyond limit. Tried 10 more times - same bullshit.

I have used their service lots of times before, and there was never an issue as long as I did it straight in the first few seconds of a new hour.

What the fuck? Has anyone had any success using their service in the past day?

On a related note - can anyone accelerate my transaction, please? The TX ID is https://blockchain.info/tx/2727e9d1517770c0e6a616cbff5544251559b10924b329a14a90a1f2fac61ed0

When will those miner fees finally drop back down to acceptable levels? It's great that BTC is regaining the lost value, almost back to what it was valued at before the pump and dump, but those fees are still not back to baseline levels. How long is it gonna take for the miner fees to become 10-20 sat/b again?

Just tried sending BTC to my exchanger from my Blockchain.info wallet, and got this error:

Validation Error: Error #-26: 258: txn-mempool-conflict

What on earth is this junk? First time I ever encountered this, and I have no idea why it's happening, or what it means.

Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you guys fix it?

A client of mine sent me BTC today with a very low fee - only 5 sat/byte ( apparently the default Blockchain.info fee at the moment of sending ).

I checked out bitcoinfees.21.co and the delay should have been not more than 300 minutes ( that was listed at the time ). However, it's been 11 hours so far, and not a single confirmation yet.

I tried accelerating the transaction on ViaBTC but when I enter the TX ID, I get an error saying "Transaction fee too low"...

Is anyone able to help?

Hey everyone - I received a transaction a few hours ago, that is still unconfirmed. The person that sent it opted for a pretty low fee - 21 sat/b - is there any way to check if the transaction depends on a previous unconfirmed transaction?

I mean I know it can be done, but how do I do it exactly?

The transaction ID is defa67a4595348f0cb1387104d8cccca755a88d327717a36496f5be9ee6c2f31 .

Been having an issue with 2 transactions for the past 3 days or so. One of them has been sitting unconfirmed for more than 3 full days now, the other one for 2 days.

Both have the default Blockchain fee ( I wasn't expecting such a huge delay, since the default Blockchain fee is usually enough to ensure confirmation, even if it sometimes takes a few hours ).

When I sent both transactions, I had no unconfirmed transactions in my wallet, so they do not depend on any other unconfirmed transactions.

Transaction IDs are:

Is any miner able to please pick those 2 up and confirm them, maybe?

I tried the ViaBTC accelerator like 2 hours ago, it said "Acceleration successful" for both, and yet still nothing.

A customer of mine sent me a Bitcoin transfer, and for the first time ever, I saw a transaction message stating:

This transaction has been flagged as replace-by-fee ( RBF )

What does this mean? The transaction has a fairly high miner's fee ( 169 sat/b ), but this message baffles me. Is there a problem with the transaction itself?

The ID is 9ac722ca8177a5528e945c081d5d9b021f91d4687838e66c82e7b4589173a88e

Please elaborate - is there anything I should be worried about?

Hey there, is any miner willing to lend me a hand and confirm those 3 transactions?

The first one here has been pending with 0 confirmations for about 20 hours now. Sent via Blockchain wallet, with the recommended miner's fee at the time - and yet nothing. No idea why.

The second was initiated after I got the payment from the first, trying to exchange BTC to my exchanger. Been pending for 20 hours as well ( since the payment from the first one never confirmed ).


https://blockchain.info/tx/d140c2bf45ccf87a3bbb6beca22cf250efe7ab7c3053b4cf36465b1b4ca51c4e


The third transaction was initiated about 9 hours ago. The payment for it was confirmed successfully - but not via a Blockchain wallet, it was sent from somewhere else. Again, tried exchanging it to my BTC exchanger, sent via my Blockchain wallet - recommended fee again, almost 9 hours in - 0 confirmations.

What the fuck?

If someone's willing to lend a hand, that would be lovely.

Hello there, guys.

For some reason I'm having a problem logging in to my Blockchain wallet on their website. I haven't used my account for some time, and when I try to log in now, I am presented with this page:




I reckon it's an introductory page, designed to inform members, that have been away for some time, of the new design and features of our Blockchain wallets. All fine. However, when I click "Continue", I simply get redirected to the website homepage, and I have no way of getting back into my wallet.





If I click on "Wallet", I end up at the login page again. I log back in, and I get the dumbass intro page AGAIN, and no way to bypass/close it, and see my account, without having to click "Continue". Which sends me right back to square 1 - the homepage again.

This happens in both Chrome and Internet Explorer. Both browsers are fully updated and absolutely no other issues whatsoever with either of them.

How can I enter my account?

A customer of mine needs to pay for one of my scripts, but since I only accept BTC and PM as a method of payment, and he only has WMZ, I'd like to ask the following question:

Would he be able to exchange a 50 USD worth of WMZ to either BTC or PM? Is there a reliable trustworthy exchanger in that direction, and if not, would a trustworthy individual from Bitcointalk be willing to do that sort of exchange, and what would be your terms, if you're that trustworthy individual?

Cheers for your help.
