Several threads revealing the same information but on several requirements of transactions were running parallel. At least you can be happy because you've got confirmed in 30-40 mins though you have paid small fee. This is not a big delay, users are waiting more than 48 hours to get their transaction confirmed.

confirmed in 30-40 minutes is lucky enough with low fees get confirmation on that time, in my side i should give more fees to get fast confirmation and sometimes although i have give big fees my transaction still get confirmation at long time and when i try with low fees i get confirmation at around 24 hours :-/ but not always, my transaction with low fees usually get confirmation around 1 hours

if the wallet address was right, it's just the good and old queue.

100k+ unconfirmed transactions.
if you paid 50k~100k satoshi fee, you'll probably have too wait a lot...

yeah. in my point of view, waiting for 30-40 minutes for confirmation is not a long time. because I have ever had to wait for an hour to get confirmation, but it is also not a long time rather then those who need a day or two to get confirmation.

it's fair takes time to confirm because it is not just you who do bitcoin transactions and I think it was quite fast. Now many who complained of the length of bitcoin confirmation so wait it, anyways bitcoin transactions can't be canceled

[HarringtonStark]

Slowly but surely. Just wait it out. That is what I do but if I'm in a hurry, I will add a significant amount of fee for it to confirm faster. $1-$3 fee in bitcoin is OK for me.

This is the first time i have seen 100k transactions in the mempool waiting to be confirmed, probably just another spam attack.

A bunch of people is having this problem.
Slow transactions are Bitcoin worse thing (yes, it is getting bad).

Speeding up the transaction could be accelersted a little using:

High fees and unconfirmed transactions. Could have something to do with the spam attacks you can read here often in the last days. The scaling problem is still not solved, so the reasons are numerous. We can only hope for Bitcoins sake that it is only a temporarily thing and adopt to the situation.

I also have one transaction with 60 satoshi+ per byte fee for over 24 hours and just entered its details in the above accelerator lets see will this work or not.

But how actually this accelerator will work? Is this just like other re-broadcasting?

I see this service and others like it promoted by more and more users every week, unfortunately this may become the norm for bitcoin transactions until a solution can be found.

The talk about these  delayed confirmations are driving my nerves crazy and I urge the developers to help us with an increased block size because these problems are escalating due to the numerous complaints we are reading about on this forum. Please do something.

30-40 minutes is not that long. I once waited 1 day for a transaction to confirm. What I learned from this spam attacks is, bitcoin is not yet ready for the future or major adaption. 100K unconfirmed transactions is not forgivable. Bitcoin must adopt to be able to process more transactions.

Been there, happened lots of times and it really feels bad when we are struck at a point in the Bitcoin's life. I guess segwit may solve most of the problems we are facing now, increasing a fees will be a short term solution for this waiting.

I still see way too many 1 transaction blocks being mined when there are tens of thousands of transactions with fee attached sitting in the blockchain.
Miners should be made to fill blocks especially at times of high unconfirmed transaction in the mempool.

Yes the same issue got generated in the past when bitcoin fake volume were identified by the peoples bank of China. Thousands of transaction were found unconfirmed when blocks get mined continuously. Also confirmation delay is found high in localbitcoins higher than other wallets.

[Amph]

30-40 isn't good either, it should confirm in 10 minutes, when everything work good, which isn't the case with bitcoin that do not scale

with multibit you can't even do abandon transaction i think, or they have integrated it in the last version?

now just wait it will return back or get confirmed eventually

I would like to know one thing,do miners have the ability to manually include a transaction in their mining block and another doubt is even with the one transaction per block will they be getting the 12 bitcoin for the block. The transaction delays are really frustrating but with higher fees it will get through within an hour.
