I assume the sender used a very low sending fee? So that would mean had i used the nano ledger s address, that would still be the same with unconfirmed?
The type of addresses that the transaction outputs are being assigned to makes no difference to the confirmation speed of the transaction. It does not matter if your receiving address is Legacy "1-type", "3-type" or "bc1".
The overriding factor is generally the fee
rate that has been set
by the sender and the prevailing network conditions (size of mempool/number of unconfirmed transactions and the fee rates used by those transactions).
I received the btc to my electrum wallet and it shows the amount and the balance. Its however still showing as unconfirmed at the moment.
Unconfirmed in Electrum? unconfirmed on a block explorer? or unconfirmed on Both?
- If Electrum only and it shows as confirmed on blockexplorer, then it's likely a syncing issue or the Electrum server you're connected to is lagging
- If Both, then the transaction is actually unconfirmed and it's likely a low fee-rate and/or "flooded" mempool issue.
