Is viabtc transaction accelerator really working?

[Avirunes]

Accelerators won't solve a damn thing.
It's the code that needs change.

Correct. Accelerators are there only to get out of network congestion situation. They won't confirm until a block is hit. It wouldn't be in place if an action had been taken earlier.

Right now I don't think there is a use of any accelerator since fees ATM is low and there is low transactions in mempool as well. Even a transaction passed at 60-80 says/byte will pass in 7-8 hour.

I had a tx with 130 satoshi waiting for 18 hours in the mempool.
The number of transactions in the pool has gone down but the size of the tx has increased.

Also take a look at how many tx have been in the past 72h with over 300satoshi

There have been more transactions with over 300 than under 100 in the past 72h.

yes.Vibtc transaction accelerator works for me various times. I have use it regularly when i need . I like theire service too much. although now a days few people offering free transaction accelerating in service section.

I too have seen many people recently trying to offer free services for accelerating the transaction. ViaBTC worked well for me, used the services many times and it's the best way to come out of the traffic congestion.

Same for me, as long as you put at least 100 satoshi/byte fee and submit it at the turn of the hour you really can't fail. Of course they may take a few hours but for such low fees its fine anyway.

I just got an "Acceleration Succeeded" at ViaBTC's service, posting it some 15 seconds after my computer's clock hit the top of the hour.  It is for a small incoming trx with only some 233 Sats/Byte, call it $1.57 for a simple trx.

I expect it will work like it almost always has, actual confirmation within an hour or so, only once was it over two hours (past ".. Succeeded"), and a few times at the next block.

I just push two transactions. It is true that i have to try few times, but finally after full hour i hit empty spots 

On website i read that transaction must have at least 10k satoshi fee.. but here on Bitcointalk people say that transaction must be over some bit-per-transaction limit. What's the truth? Someone tested it?

It's not 10K satoshi fee, it's 10Ksatoshi/KB.

Yes, it is truth, and yes it is tested. Just make sure your low fee is high enough so you can use viabtc service.

Transaction was confirmed yesterday in about an hour after I used ViaBTC's service.  Every time I have gotten their "Acceleration Succeeded" note, my trx went through relatively quickly.

But now you have to act fast at the top of the hour as so many people want their trx confirmed, in my case it is receiving small payments.  When I send, it is almost always "important" so I just pay up.

I was tried  viabtc transaction accelerator and its worked for me many times.I used their free service few month before when my transaction unconfirmed whole days and I accelerate my transaction viabtc got confirm within 2 hours.problem is sometimes transaction not Succeeded and its show error again again.

I use electrum.  I have a sending fee each time and with dynamic fees checked, its not that cheap to send btc even small amounts.


Can i use this with electrum?  So if i use this accelerator, does that mean i dont have to pay any fees at all with electrum?  How long on average does this take?

it does not matter which wallet you used to create the bitcoin transaction. what matters is what amount of fee you included in your transaction.

these days if you include anything above 100 satoshi per byte your transaction will probably be confirmed fast.

for using the Viabtc accelerator you just need to include at least 10 satoshi per byte fee in your tranasction and then copy paste that transaction ID in their website and click the button. if you see the "acceleration successful" message on top, then you are done if not you have to try again later.

you can also read the details at the bottom of that acceleration page.

p.s. the time it takes is usually about an hour or so until ViaBTC finds a new block.

I think you will be still need to pay for a fee for every transaction in electrum the viabtc is just speeding up or accelerate your transaction .
It takes hour before your transaction get confirm if you use viabtc like other said if they found a new block your transaction will be include..
As of now i setup my fee per kb is 0.0015 in preferences in electrum and my transaction speed i takes hour and i am always using viabtc for every transaction..

The service stopped to work when it became very popular.
The number of transactions that can be accelerated is limited every hour, so you have to try in the first seconds of each hour.
You have to be fast and lucky

Hi, I find viabtc transaction accelerator in the forum, I entered my txid in the first minute. Should be the top 100 input in the hour, but after 45 minutes, my transaction is still not accelerated. Do you use it and is it really working?

ViaBTC still needs to find a block for your transaction to be included. That can take several hours.
I've used it and it works.

I don't understand bit of information here. You said this is transaction accelerator but after entering our txid into accelerator it will take several hours to find that txid into block ? How come this is accelerator then. Am I missing here something, I really need to know about how this works and how come those several hours is not a problem to us. Please enlighten me with hidden facts. :-)

I'm here to do that for you that was an advertisement stunt to sell their cloud mining contracts, but they did it anyways even though it was an insult to us all. there is no such a thing as accelerator of transactions in bitcoin network. anyways now we can have 15-45 confirmation normally with less than 120 sats/b so no need for such a service.

Advertisement stunt? HM...lets see now...check out this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1814472.msg19001002#msg19001002
In my honest opinion they were very helpful when there was over 150K unconfirmed transactions.
Don't judge them now please.

Actually, I don't think ImHash is completely wrong on that.

Yes, ViaBTC allows people to accelerate their low fee transactions in form of a charitable service, but we shouldn't forget that it's because of them that we haven't seen SegWit activated already.

On top of that, ViaBTC is trying to stimulate people to go for a trashy proposal like Bitcoin Unlimited to make a statement against the core devs. If that isn't a shady action, I don't know what is.

Even i have tried it in past but faced this same issue i never really figured how it works as far as i remember people say they charge a small fee to accelerate your transaction but whenever i enter any txid it always shows it's too late or says you are in queue. Just send transactions with a bit more fees don't depend on this

[bL4nkcode]

FYI they don't charged any amount to accelerate your transaction, that's why they are so called "FREE" they just want your transaction have at least 0.0001 btc or 10k satoshi tx fee to able to accelerate your transaction.

but whenever i enter any txid it always shows it's too late or says you are in queue.

They have limit, 100 tx per hour, and they will not accelerate all transaction for this free service they are such business.

Just send transactions with a bit more fees don't depend on this

Of course it's your responsibilty on the first place to put a decent fee on your tx so it will confirmed asap.

I bought this btc from an exchanger and paid before it was sent, then they send with this low fee
