Whwn you do not get confirmations on a transcation...

[MyIdeas]

I am using xapo and there the xapo pay all the fees of my transactions so I do not have to care that how much will I have to pay in fees so that I get confirmations faster, I think xapo is paying the required fees for speeding up the transactions.

They should actually increase the "small fee" option to be about 30% higher than the recommended minimum fee, to prevent instances like this. I once bought some jewelry from someone and the tx

took 2 hours to confirm with the minimum recommended fee, since then I pay higher than the recommended minimum and all my tx's goes through without a problem. The problem is, if everyone

starts to increase the minimum, then we will get stuck with the same problem.  { I once bypassed this problem, by asking the receiver to open a Xapo account and he did... I then send him a

off-chain transfer and he got near instant payment, but this is just a temporary solution }

So, I was buying a game on Steam with Bitcoins and I used small fees (economic on Bitcoin phone wallet) and it took around 3 hours to get confirmations. Steam already sent me a E - mail telling me that there was an error with the purchase and I thought I lost my Bitcoins since it is not reversible. Luckily, when I got the confirmations, the game arived.

I got a heart attack earlier, but everything went well

Did you have such experiences? Post your most stressful transactions

We i havent experienced this kind of stuff with bitcoin, but I do experience it in another form of payment.  I use to buy credits in google playstore with my mobile credits.  So I got interested in this game and I feel like I need to buy the limited offer, so I need to use my mobile credit and bought that offered package.  The first one went smoothly but the 2nd and third one were not.  So i was a bit hysterical because I really need that in game package that day.  I did send support ticket to the dev of the game but told me it's the google play I should contact. So in short contacted the playstore and just an auto email and then i gave up and at the next morning all that I bought was in there. So it was fixed.

I've had this experience as well. I have multiple wallets and as I was transferring funds from my online wallet from Coinbase to my desktop wallet which is Electrum, I was kind of monitoring it and after about 15 minutes, I was certain that it should have at least one confirmation and I checked, there wasn't any. The first confirmation was done in around 30 minutes or something and that was probably one of my most anxious 30 minutes.

I believe thos long time waiting is because you are making a deposit or withdraw from your wallet, usually my coins are at exchanges and since they join more then one request, the transactions gets faster confirmations, atleast for me i havent anytime any issue with confirmations at all.

It's only happened to me once when there was a stress (spam) test & that wasn't because I was using low fees. I always use quite a bit over average fees because I don't like waiting ages for confirmations.

i think it never happend that i have not receive the conformation about the transection . but some time it take a lot of time while some time take just few min.

That is what i mean
Paying with standard fee 20k sat is enough or you can pay more higher such as 50k sat, it only cost few cent, will not making people poor

but for some people who are stingy: D Raising the transaction fee is a heavy thing. And yes you said it did not make us poorer. haha
