Please help, unconfirmed transaction.

[SAMDOE]

Hi, I am not to sure if I am in the right topic, I am new to this website, I just created an account in hopes to talk to fellow experienced bitcoiners in an attempt to gain knowledge, as I am new to bitcoin and online currency in general...

So hopefully you guys can help me shine some light on my problem, so here it is... Two days ago, I sent about $60 worth of bitcoins, and sent those bitcoins to my bitcoin wallet which succesfully arrived. I then went to transfer it again, to another bitcoin wallet and it says "Pending: 0/3 Confirmations" and It has been stuck like that sense the moment I sent them, until now (2 days). Its like they got stuck or something and I am not to sure what to think... Am I going to lose my bitcoins? Will they just be stuck in the blockchain network forever or temporarily, and if so how long? Is there something relatively easy I can do to speed it up or cancel it and resend?

I buy bitcoins through coinbase, and I use Blockchain wallet. I use the default fees and everything to avoid issues.

Fee is lower than recommended. Recommended is 110 satoshi per byte and you're using 65 satoshi per byte. I've seen several "slow transaction from bc.i" topics with that fee (65spb), not sure if they're using that as max or what.

You can wait. Submitting the transaction to this site might help. It should confirm in few hours.

You won't lose your bitcoins. If the transaction gets dropped by the network the bitcoins should return to your wallet.

Mainly transaction with higher fees are confirmed earlier. Anyway it will take some more time to confirm your transaction as per my acknowledgment. Because you have already paid fees but still its not showing number of block within this transaction held and locked.

My honest suggestion is to wait for some more time to get confirmation for transaction you have made.

Lol your gonna think I am dumb but what is the transaction ID? I am looking at the blockchain.info and I don't want to use the wrong set of numbers haha. but yea, I am considering using that website you provided, but only if you think its trust worthy and its worth it?

Maybe you has paid very small fee of transaction so you will not have any confirmations if there isn't anything happened , you bitcoin will be returned back to you for 3 days later.

Your transaction id is 3d899589fcd6f6927ad846465dad96bec89b47cd5789c162ad1424117b38bca6.

Using that site may work. Giving them your transaction id will not negatively affect you in any way so it is worth a shot. You can also contact the users Quickseller and macbook-air as they have helped users in the past with such issues.

Since you use web wallets there is not much else that can be done here except contact those people (who are miners) and wait.

Actually that was just a coincidence. You'd know if it works if the transaction was included in a block that was mined by ViaBTC (it was mined by AntPool).

Good for you though.

As an alternative to this problem in the future...you could switch to coinbase, who at the time of this post pays the transaction fees for you.

Using coinbase as a wallet and with it covering the fee has nothing to do with the time on when will your transaction will be confirmed. Afaik coinbase is using atleast 10k satoshi for transactions which will not help to confirm a transaction fast if the blockchain network is congested. Also coinbase is not a wallet but an exhange wallet.

Oh okay...Still 1 hour or 2 vs 3 days...It's easy math, most of us could even do it...
