Hi all, I am relatively new to this still. Had a question about the "unpaid" BTC. I recently changed wallets and went to a new address so I had some unpaid BTC (not confirmed) as well as a balance which was confirmed... I noticed since I stopped mining on that wallet that the unpaid balance is taking a LONG time to add to balance. Why does this happen? Do I need to point a miner there to speed the (confirming or paying) of the unpaid coins to be added to my balance?
Thanks

It isn't clear what you're talking about. You'll need to explain better.
Are you asking about:
- Solo mining (without a pool) and trying to access bitcoins from a block that you mined recently?
- Mining in a pool and trying to access bitcoins that you've earned but the pool hasn't sent to you yet?
- Mining in a pool and trying to access bitcoins that you've earned and the pool has sent to you in a transaction that hasn't confirmed yet?
- Trying to access bitcoins that someone else has sent to you that haven't confirmed yet?
Mining in a pool and the "unconfirmed" bitcoins are taking forever to confirm on a wallet that I changed from.... The new wallet seems to be confirming faster and im still using the same pool.
As was said earlier, you mining and your confirmation time have nothing to do with each other, especially since you are mining in a pool. What affects your transaction is the transaction fee. If your fee is too low, mining pools will not select your transaction for inclusion in the next block, regardless of whether you mine at that pool or not.
