somebody help!!!

To avoid these sorts of delays I suppose one could enter the private key into the wallet instead of sweeping.

There we go -- assuming it isn't orphaned, mined into block 355566 https://blockchain.info/block-index/878113.

... and with https://blockchain.info/block-height/355567 sitting on top of the original commit we're essentially golden.

The problem is that transaction, it is to be confirmed in next 6 blocks, and after that the next one will get confirmed

Yes, the bigger TX inputs had been confirmed for ages. This one was probably the one that was swept from the paper wallet.

Anyway...

So I had 1 bitcoin in a paper wallet. I swept the funds into my blockchain.info account, then I sent it off to my mycelium phone wallet. That was 40 minutes ago. There are people waiting on me RIGHT NOW to do a transaction and my coins are not confirmed. What should I do???

Did sweeping the coins cause some delay or something??

The easiest way to do what you want is to just grab your private keys off the paper wallet you had and import it into blockchain.info
I primarily use electrum for my BTC transactions but have backups of my important privkeys on blockchain.info in case electrum bugs out (often)

I suggest re-trying to sweep your keys.. But make sure you are on the real blockchain.info site.. lest you lose you coins to phishers,.

ok well it got through. I think this highlights an issue with bitcoin though. If the 20mb blocksize can be changed why not faster confirms too?

Relax man.
You included a fee so it'll be confirmed.
Just explain it to the person you're making the deal with, good things come to those who wait.
Why is it so urgent that the deal is closed immediately?
Explain the situation, it shouldn't take much longer.

Edit - Deal went through as I was typing this - Doh!
I was right though wasn't I Cheesy

The one word that fits to bitcoin like a glove - PATIENCE Cheesy

well I had him meet me at a del taco and he had stuff to do so he couldn't be sitting around all day.

You have a substance abuse issue.

what happens when you make assumptions?

Its not that easy. Faster confirmations come at the cost of lower security.

For the next time, here are two tips:

1. Import the paper wallet directly into Mycelium instead of going through blockchain.info.
2. Confirmations are not instant. Plan ahead.

If you use localBitcoins.com as your "escrow agent", then you won't have this problem, because transactions are instant.

You make an ass out of u and me.

Next time just go to the "cold storage" option in your phone's Mycelium wallet. Save you the headache, and it's cleaner.

stupid "why does bitcoin take so long to confirm?" shill post.. just saying.

10 mins isnt that long...
I have done many, many transfers between BlockChain wallet and MyCelium and have never had any issues ever.

Just like David Rabahy said, make sure you have something set for a transaction fee- this greatly speeds up the transaction times at least in my experience.

As far as I know if you are using the blockcahin.info the fee is always paid.
So i doubt it was a fee thing.
Probably just took a little longer for a block to be found that includes his transaction.

just try to extract your privates keys, and import them into a lightweigt client , ie: electrum or multibit..

Blockchain.info has not implemented the new variable fee system yet as it seems. Even though it should suggest a fee to make your tx a high priority, it still just suggests the standard fee.

Are you sure? I once swept a lot of inputs and I put a custom fee. Blockchain.info gave a warning saying it is not recommended/enough fee.*

I think there are two way's to send they have the regular, it pays it automatically. Then I believe there is "custom" i think they called other one and you can select fee on it. I do think it warns on to low when using custom, i don't think it warned if you did a little high (don't know what happens if you do insane high amount) but I could be wrong it's been a while since used it.
