How long does it take for transactions to be "confirmed" or "verified"? (DeepBit

[SouthWall]

Hi. I've checked around, and it seems to take around an hour for confirmation. I have received a payout from DeepBit to a brand new wallet, and the transaction appears in MultiBit, but the status has been at "Seen by 4 peers. Pending/unconfirmed" for 17 hours. Is there anything I can do to confirm the transaction, or is there a problem?

Did I mess up by using a brand new wallet to receive the bitcoin? I performed the instant payout within one minute of creating the wallet.

If I try to look for the transaction on blockchain.info, it says that the "transaction is not found".


All help appreciated.

Did the transaction eventually show up?

I did a transaction yesterday and it took like 20 minutes to get confirmed.  There is a chart that shows how long confirmations take.  I think that will give you some indication of how long it will take to get your transaction confirmed.

Well, the transaction showed up in my wallet within 10 minutes of the payout, but the transaction doesn't appear on blockchain. And it's been unconfirmed since the payout, which was 18 hours ago.
