waiting for a confirmation: what are you doing?

[diodio5]

I'll tell ya what im not doing, siting around waiting on a confirmation, it will confirm when it does.... as long as you pay some fee then ur fine 

yeah of course confirmed it would happen so better sit down and be patient, it would be better if you did not wait you can do other activities so that you do not need to feel waiting for confirmation of the transaction. yeah that's what I always do

[Carlsen]

I usually make a transaction and that is it.
I don't wait for it to be confirmed. When the recipient does not get my coins he always has a way to contact me.
But since that never happened I suppose it all came through in time.
My transactions are never that urgent that I would need them be done in a couple of minutes.

hi

what are you doing while your are waiting for a confirmation of a transaction.

i am reading here and posting some stuff.

For me, most of the confirmation times are unusually long- maybe I was just unlucky. I would just impatiently checking the blockchain.info website to see when the next block has been mined.

IF  im in a  hurry i always  look to the confirmation when im transferring bitcoin and sometimes   transfers are too long and sometimes   less than 2 minutes i guess it really depends  but  when im not in a hurry  i dont have to check it  if  its confirmed or  not as  long as  i saw the   progress i just  leave it  and do the usual stuffs.

i will just send my money and leave it even it not confirmed yet , why must wait until get confirmation ?

Because certain transactions have a high priority because people have made a deal and wait for it to get completed. If there is no priority, then there is basically no need to keep staring at the transaction till it gets its first confirmation, then you're right.

It is up to receiver of your bitcoin. Accepting a payment without confirmations is highly risky at it might get double spent. So, every merchants must wait till at least 3 three confirmations. Some companies, like Xapo are following 6 confirmations conventions. Confirmations will ensure your bitcoins not get reveresed by any chances.

This isn't a big deal for me, at least. As long as I saw the progress everything will be fine.

But it depends on the situation, if ever I need an urgent respond for those I like to deal quickly, Im just keep coming back to the respective page every 5 or 10 mins. Browsing other tabs is my common doings.

Lol I thought someone else would find a time when they will need bitcoin very urgent, maybe you have not come across that situation, but someday you will definitely feel it, by which time the transaction takes a long time but you need bitcoin that time? what would you do ?

[Jeremycoin]

I will keep hitting the F5 button on my keyboard, and when I feel bored with it I will read another topic on Bitcointalk. But usually I can't wait for it, so I will keep staring at it.

sometimes it takes a long time to confirm our transaction. for me i am just playing games online while waiting and reading some useful information and threads here. but sometimes the transaction it takes minutes 8 minutes is the fastest for me..

I don`t care about the confirmations of my transactions.

I don`t wait for them.I`m just doing other online work.

I`m a patient guy,i guess.

[23dzmaz]

Maybe just waiting until the transaction is confirmed, because sometimes it only takes few minutes. But if the confirmation is to long, i just browsing until the confirmation confirmed.

We are doing the same thing, i easily  lost  my temper especially  on waiting  confirmations   on bitcoin transfers i keep on refreshing the page   and hoping  the transaction  was completed  but  if it takes longer  i do  stream movies  or watching videos  on youtube   and   focus my mind  into other  things.

I refresh the blockchain page to see if there is a new block mined and if my transaction was included on that block.

Sometimes i read the news about crypto, IT or even local newspapers, but since the transaction fees are good I wouldn't worry too much.

I also do things like you actually I really do not like to wait, but that I do not feel upset for a confirmation of a long normally I would forget about transactions that moment and do other activities such as reading news, watching youtube or the like, yeah maybe several times to refresh the transaction to see delivery status

Lol I thought you would not be able to use bitcoinmu when the confirmation has not been resolved because the current transaction confirmation could have been resolved had failed and bitcoin returned to sender. so before you accept the first confirmation you will not be able to use bitcoin it?

I am also having similar habit of refreshing pages and also I will watch new block generation in block explorers.
But if we are receiving bitcoins in blockchain.info wallet, we will be able to spend even before having any confirmations with that transaction.

nope i think in all stores, perjudia sites, or other facilities would always wait for confirmation, at least 1-3 confirmation so you can continue the next process, or in gambling usually balance will not go or can not be withdrawn before the transaction was getting one confirmation

yeah, there is nothing you can do about it to be honest, in my opinion you should just chill that time

While waiting for a Tx confirmation, it is best to listen to the blockchain music created by new transactions - https://chainflyer.bitflyer.jp/

wow. never heard of this website. this is just awesome. do you now which transaction makes which sound? does the sound depend of the amount that has been send or what?

No idea. I think, those are pretty random.
