I mostly read bitcoin news, listen to the music and read forum in the meantime. I don't post much as I mostly lurk around.
If transaction is stubborn I watch movies or play some games.

I'm building a scale model of Venice from my snot. I only do this when waiting for confirmations so my descendants will have to continue it after I'm gone.

While I'm waiting for incoming transactions confirmation, I usually work on earning more in the meantime. While I'm waiting for the confirmation of outgoing transactions, I'm discussing with the client and helping him have a good time with me until we can proceed with the deal.

Fooling around with my cats. It's funny, because I'm waiting for a confirmation at this very second. Need to convert bitcoin to fiat so I'm waiting and waiting. And posting on this forum, which is always a delight.

I also have no problems with confirmation time. Transaction done, close the client and forget till whatever. Just use decent fee when sending, don't be a cheap snake and all the aggravation will be thing of the past. In case of receiving, as well I quickly check for 1 confirmation and than I close the block explorer, call me naive or stupid but I have had zero problems to date. Fee, fee and fee is the key  |

Fee, fee and fee is the key i am using the standard fee of my wallet. this could be a solution. never thought about changing the fee. thanks for the tipp. |

Even with a good fee it still takes an amount of time. |

I don't wait much, I have instructed electrum to always put the recommended fee by putting dynamic fees in it and the maximum I wait usually is 10-15 minutes.
During this time I can post on the forum or watch daily news , videos, trend, life etc.

If you're legendary on here as I AM NOW, all you have to do is call up the Core team and you don't even have to wait for another block. And they also double the Bitcoin you're sending as a courtesy.

I just get on with my life and forget about it... totally agree lol - I don't even leave the wallet open I just start working again then check back later. Plus I have never really had to wait long as long as I've used the recommended amount of fee for sending. |

You are right, didn't thought about this scenario, I'm long gone from trading, never had the nerve for it but back in the day I was always transferring my coins overnight... so the answer to "what are you doing" is sleeping  But it is exactly as I sad before, TX and forget till morning or whatever.  Gotta have tranquillity dude! |

Just relax and hope nothing unexpected will happen. Had a few issues with uncomfirmed transactions but I'm trying not to think about it.

Wow. Is it that "painful" to wait for a confirmation? I just get on with my life and forget about it... Since I am familiar with several altcoins, the bitcoin confirmation time makes me frustrated. I keep checking every 2-3 minutes to see if i've received m bitcoin or not. A lot of my transactions are currency conversions so I' always in a rush to use the bitcoin as quickly as possible. |
