Confirmation Time

Hello! I sent some coins to Mt.Gox just before the crash started, and it's still not showing in my Mt.Gox account, my Bitcoin-QT client & Blockchain.info all show zero confirmations.

It doesn't typically take this long - any thoughts? Is the network experiencing extreme load right now due to the volatility?

It's experiencing load because of an experiment the developers are conducting. You may need to wait around 10 blocks more than you usually would.

What experiment?

[antimattercrusader]

Well, it's been a few hours and still 0 confirmations?

I guess I'm just being impatient?

That's a lot of inputs. And without a fee it could take some serious time to go through into some block...

[antimattercrusader]

Great. It frequently asks me for a fee.. but this time it did not? Do you know why?

I am using Bitcoin-QT

And... by serious time, what do you mean? Hours? Days?

Thanks for the input!
