Longest bitcoin transaction that you have waited?

[Daniel91]

I also didn't think much before, about this point.
I always had to wait maximum 3-4 hours.
Recently, however, I tried to send large amount of BTC and had to wait more than 24 hours.
On the end, I had to contact personally some miners, from this forum, and ask them for help.
After this, my transaction was confirmed, finally

2,244 total minutes of the transaction

probably almost 2 days.

I'm sure the longest one would have to wait is forever if the fee is 0 and the input is really high. The time is proportionate(to a certain degree) to what the user pays as the fee, so why are we discussing this again? Or is it one of those so called "discussion"/"What x is your x" questions, that only sig farmers participate in?

A way much better discussion than you do tho? Anyways if someone is spamming in this thread moderator should see it. ( I want to discuss things that I currently experience Now if you are a professional act like you are

I think last month was my longest bitcoin transaction , It cost me 2 days before i get my bitcoins. There were standing 40,000 unconfirmed transactions that time. Theblockchain is flooding verymuch. I was pissed off very much that time because I badly needed my bitcoins. But i cant do anything but to wait

The longest bitcoin transaction that i have awaited is almost 3 days. When i withdraw my profit from trading site its terrible happen. I need that money that time but no choice to wait till the bitcoin confirm in my wallet.

I am a 3 month old bitcoin user, a newbie by most standards.

If making spends from my electrum wallet i have played around with fees as none of my spends have been urgent.

Longest wait time for me on high priority (using recommended fee structure) was18 hours during a congested period.

Longest medium priority when there was only 5k unconfirmed in mempool was 16 hours.

Low priority (lowest possible fee electrum) at 20k unconfirmed was 18 hours.

Will try lowest fee at another congested period to test.

I also experienced Also before it takes my transaction 24-48 hrs to confirmed my transaction.Im very sad and angry of that day because I need to cashout my Bitcoin because I want to buy a new cellphone because my family are planned to go to the mall. I think why the transaction of Bitcoin is the amount if the Bitcoin is large it takes long hours . but if the Bitcoin small it takes only 30m-2hrs only . I think also is the priority it is high priority or low priority.

Once I had to wait 3 days to get my transaction confirmed. I was sending coins from my Blockchain.info wallet to the Localbitcoins wallet. The transaction size was quite high (although the amount was very small) and the recommended fee was something like BTC0.004. However, I manually input BTC0.0001 as the fee and send the coins. It took around 70 hours.

I'm sending mine to cold wallets with 10k satoshis transaction fee. The transaction usually gets confirmed in 12-24 hours, and that's the longest time I had to wait until it got confirmed. For normal transactions, the longest confirmation was in less than one hour. Be careful about the transaction fee you're going to input.

Well thats really long. Well my experience past few weeks my bitcoin transactions delayed almost 2 days and i dont know why so on that time im just relaxing and just reading some of the post in this website and i also notice that lot of bitcoin users are their transactions are also delayed.

[hashkey]

In my case, it took me 1228 minutes after only paying 1840 satoshis for a 1.223kB sized txn. I find it kind of ridiculous that it was confirmed after the low txn fee I put in. I thought it will never get confirmed as miners nowadays mostly fill the blocks to the brim with txns having decent fees.

[deadpoolx]

For me, the longest Bitcoin transaction occurred when it took something about forty-five minutes for a transaction to happen. There are times when this is not a problem, but in cases of urgency this can generate annoyance to the user.

I hope that with solutions to improve the network, such as lightning network and other improvements, we will have more efficient transactions in the future.

For me, it was three days. That was a bummer for me. First time to get that kind of transaction. I didn't do anything that was unusual to what I did before, but it took that much time. My setting was to place a lower fee than the normal one. I didn't know what to do when it happened. I read about just double spending, but it seems kind of hard to do. So I didn't try it, because I might send another transaction and send another set of bitcoins.

3 days is really long lucky I don't have waitied that long yet.  The longest transaction that I waited was around 5 - 6 hours.  I think it was my fault because i send atransaction with not sufficient fee, it goes to medium priority and need to wait for several hours before it was confirmed.

Good way of making your transaction to become faster and you have the point there since miners are also in need for the fee that we are paying. They will put priority first those transactions that has bigger fees. But with my experience I'm always relying with blockchain's automated deduction with my transactions and I don't usually having longer time of waiting after sending.

The longest transaction that i have waited was around 30 to 45 minutes.  I don't have that much transactions and maybe I'm not that unlucky to experience hours of waiting for  my transaction to be confirmed.  Maybe the reason is that I always make sure that I sent a proper tx or even higher whenever I send my bitcoin.

[equator]

The Longest Bitcoin Transaction for sending is around 10 hrs and for receiving also i waited for 12 hrs and both are from last week transaction as before this i have never faced any problem with transaction as i always send through the recommended fees but now due to high transaction and price fluctuation i am getting late for each transaction.

[btccashacc]

My longest bitcoin transaction was 25 Minutes, though i used blockchain.info where their service uses dynamic fees, they determine how big a fee to include in my transaction in order to make my transaction confirm more consistently and reliably, however there is also an option to customize your fee but i don't recommend this way since i saw many cases out there where people's transaction unconfirmed more than one day, it must be the fee when you send bitcoin with a lower fee than recommended fee it will take long time to get confirmed.

Sometimes there were delays last year. In the current year, I did not have major problems. The most, as I recall, was one hour, but never in the range of several hours, or days, as experienced by some of the users. There are times when the network presents some instability, but these events are becoming less frequent over time.

[doomistake]

The longest transaction that I have waited was 30 days, yes, 30 days. It was the bitcoin that I have withdrawn to a faucet, I think that was 0.009 or something. I thought that faucet was not going to pay me because it took 30 days before they have sent it to my bitcoin wallet address. I thought that faucet was just a Scam, but luckily it is not.
