waiting for a confirmation: what are you doing?

[Xenophoto]

When the sender sends me the transaction link, I don't wait anymore because I know that it is not reversible. I don't have to wait for it because I'm not going to use it right away anyway. When sending Bitcoins, I've never had any problems with the confirmation because it will only take like 15 minutes up to 30 minutes maximum. I just do other stuffs while it's still sending like making my homework, reading articles, books, watching youtube videos, basically just to pass the time.

I usually like to click the refresh button of the blockchain website but now I realized that even if I click that several times, it takes time for the transaction to be confirmed. So I do other things like watching youtube videos or playing rpg games

Nothing just keep waiting

[pinoycash]

I keep hitting the F5 button and watch till it confirms, usually when i transfer big amount .5 BTC above, i keep my eyes on the screen and will be a big relief once it confirms and land on my wallet.

If I know that I input the correct fees on a certain transaction and made sure that the destination address is correct, I just leave it as it is and check back in an hour or so. I don't stress too much on waiting for it, sometimes I just take a nap or play some games of dota and look back to see whether the tx is already confirmed in the network.

Lol same stuff i did when I'm waiting for my transaction confirmation.  I don't know maybe it is already my habbit.  Another thing is that, I try to entertain myself so I forgot about the frustration of waiting by watching youtube ( funny stuff) and other movies online.  Once the confirmation is at 2, i try to hit refresh (F5) again until it hit 3 confirmation and be credited to my online wallet.

If i was gambling i immediately start gambling because few sites like satoshimines require 0 confirmation to show your bitcoin in balance while if i was depositing or transferring bitcoin for other purposes i keep one tab with blockchain.info so that i can see if any new block get fined or not. Till new block shown in that tab i play mobile games usually.

When i am waiting for a confirmation of a transaction, i usually worry whether i can not receive my bitcoin. Although i know those bitcoins belonged to me, i can't help myself stop thinking about losing bitcoin. Strange

lol i usually do the same thing as you when im waiting for my transactions to confirm.

but sometimes if the transaction is important enough i just include a hefty fee so it gets confirmed in like 5 minutes. that saves alot of time.

[socks435]

Honestly sometimes it takes a long time to confirm some of my transaction but i just stay here in bitcointalk to read some new thread and comments..
The other part i just gamble few satoshis in poker.. just for past time.

Correct! Though I have lost some bitcoin when I attempted to make payment few year back when was very new to bitcoin, I have not been having any issues since then because the maximum time it take for any transaction I take is normally 15 minutes and no more than whatsoever. We always need to emphasize the sender to include enough fees for the sake of getting quick confirmations.

That's funny, if you put a high fee, it will be fast, you don't need to keep refreshing, just come back 10 min later and if you use a lower fee, just do others stuffs...

For me, refreshing like this sounds crazy. lol

Well with me, I haven't experienced with the transaction to have a very long confirmation because usually the time is able to reach 5-10 minutes. And while I am waiting for the transaction to be confirmed, I am just waiting for it and watching some videos. Since I am a Dota addict, I am watching some highlights for 5-10 minutes.

But on one of the post I saw that one transaction was cancelled and the reason was that the sender did not paid sufficient fees for the transaction so you have to wait at least for the first confirmation after that you can stay satisfied as after one confirmation no one can reverse the transaction.

so i guess everyone here have same feeling as me?
i mean lately bitcoin transaction required confirmation longer than usual
it's annoying sometimes when you need the money in hurry but then the confirmation take up to 24 hours 
even i put higher fee there sometimes a delay , i have tried 1 mbtc fee and it's still required 2 hours , so i just wait it without doing nothing.

Why do your need to wait for a comfirmation? The money isnt going anywhere. It's not like a bank that you have to phone them to cancel the transaction.

A bitcoin transaction is not final until it has 1-3 confirmations, so just do the transaction and go do your thing, the money isnt going anywhere.

Do not think to much just simple, we do not have to be stay in front of our computers. We can do something else like washing, watching tv, and something else. We can not do anything to make the transaction faster.

I don't know what you'd be doing beyond browsing other things online or doing something else to make your time productive. There isn't a reason to do nothing while you wait for a transaction to go through.

I personally either read the news or work on something else.
