Is viabtc transaction accelerator really working?

[LeGaulois]

I have lost patience there as each time i have been trying the only thing i got is a message saying the hourly limit has been reached, ect... With 100 per hour it is just ridiculous rate and at the end it may better to wait than trying every hour and filling the captcha. I saw a similar service but need to pay with a... credit card... lol

It's not ridiculous at all. It's a charity-like service for people free to use. If they don't put any restrictions to work, then it will allow people to abuse their service, plus it would make them a spam target.

Imagine this ~ instead of picking up low fee transactions, they could also just pick up whatever other transactions as that would net them a higher income through fees.

I am sure the paid one you mention that requires credit card payment is from btc dot com? It's a disgrace that they don't allow people to pay with Bitcoin. But hey, no one is forced to use their silly tool.

Yesterday I was sending a transaction and try to use the accelerator but I've clicked a link of suggest to increase the accelerator fees up to $7,99 and my response is WTF is that from the bitcoin dot com? It looks like a silly thing.

Do you mean this site's bitcoin accelerator? BTC.com,  pushtx.btc.com. Well, the most annoying part of this accelerator is even you have only small amount to send, e.g. 0.002 then it requires almost $5 to accelerate the transaction. If all accelerator is the same with this site that requires to pay with that ridiculous rate, then I'd rather sleep and wait than to pay with that amount.

You must have horrible timing. I've used it countless times, for mostly consolidation transactions and submitting others' low fee transactions, and if I submit in the first 10 minutes of the hour, I've always been successful. Also, if you submit in the first 3 minutes, it's almost guaranteed that you will get in.

What time in the hour do you try?

[noodle_dam]

It failed for me yesterday saying the send was not valid. So had to put it in a couple times.
Even the site timed out and could not be contacted today for myself.
So it is getting hit hard lately. But the 100 times per hour hasn't come up in the last couple days cause the transactions are back logged for a the past week.

Paypal is more profitable if used instead of such an accelerator why the hell would I pay directly to a service to transfer my funds when I can include less than a buck as fee and my transaction being confirmed in less than 20 minutes?
Every time I decided to use viabtc to accelerate some TXs I got the limit warning notification meaning there are too many people know about it and this is no longer a viable solution.

[OROBTC]

Thanks for the info BTW  I didn't know also how accelarator works I just use them believing that my TX will be confirm faster, I mean on how to confirm(by myself) that it was pushed/confirmed by those accelerator on the network.

This accelerator is presented by viabtc to increase support for bitcoin unlimited but it doesn't seem this have increased support for BTU  

Actually viabtc own a large mining farm and when you will put your tx id in their accelerator they will save it in their database and they will prioritize your tx in top of every other tx to be included in block they will mine next.

Well I just test-fired the accelerator 3 minutes ago for a small unconfirmed trx (a payment) from about 9 hours ago.  

"Acceleration succeeded"

Now I will see how long it takes from here.  Last time I used the service it took about two hours to confirm.

Actual confirmation took some FOUR HOURS after getting notified by ViaBTC's service that "Acceleration succeeded".  I had gone to bed, so I do not know whether or not it finally was confirmed in a ViaBTC-won block.

The service is free, but you have to get in pretty fast, I try to get my trx accelerated withing the first three minutes after the hour...  So far, I have used the service some eight or so times, all with success.

actually i am not trying viabtc to accelarator my transaction because as i know, if i add standard fee at least in 0.0005 btc, then i think the transaction is not going to long to see in the network. so far, when i want to send any amount, i will make sure about the fee and i think 0.0005 btc is my default fee and it will get 1 confirmation in under 15 minutes. so i think we don't have to make small fee but try to add the fee like what i do. the longest time that i gets confirmed is about 2 hours and i am fine with that because i think the network is overload so there will be many transaction that needs to confirmed.

When I can I use a fee of between BTC0.0009 - BTC0.002 (say $1 - $2), depending on how many unconfirmeds there are and how complex my transaction is.  I have had trx with a BTC0.001 take two or more hours to confirm (lots of unconfirmeds, maybe 50,000, when I did that one).

So, it depends for me.  When I send BTC, it is almost always "important" (I am impatient).  When I receive small amounts (from Bitmixer.io for example), I will then use  ViaBTC's accelerator service as Bitmixer only includes a small fee.

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?

Yes, it is really working for me. Whatever the amount of my transaction is I keep on using this for assurance of fast confirmation.

Your transaction should be confirmed for the next block. Actually I used to use it once I had something to send and it works all the time.

And my transaction's are not even reaching 1 hour before confirmed.

[hoop]

 It is my first time I using this service due delay of last transaction I had sent,it is unconfirmed since two days! I have been paid 0.00017524 as fee for this transaction.

[superiorus]

It was working fine for me.
I have tested with many transactions, multiple times (more than 100 transactions) and was always working.
I recommend it!

[realbigs21024]

I just tried to use this on one my brother was having issues with will post if it works or not soon as I find out

I don't have an idea with that issues that you are saying. I'm using this accelerator most of the time and I can say that this is working great to me. But there are times that I don't need to use this accelerator because I'm very shocked that some of my transactions are being instant confirmed. This is a big help for those people that are forgetting to pay some fees.

[hardtime]

See it does work but the big issue on it is the amount of TX's that they accept per hour (correct me if I'm wrong but I think 100?) So now that the problems relating to scaling have come to light and people don't want to pay through the roof tx fees, people would rather use something like this in order to accelerate for free. The one problem with Viabtc is that it's getting clogged with the amount of demand they have for it and they simply don't change the amount of supply.

But, yes it does work and it works well when you actually get in without an issue. But you can't ask for so much out of something which is a free service in the end.

That's not a problem IMO it just like that they limit the acceleration for transactions to avoid some abuse of people who dont want to pay with the receommended/normal fees. That's there fault in the very first place.

[majeed]

I use it everytime I send Bitcoin with low transaction fees and it absolutely works with me. YOu can try it yourself and see how awesome can viabtc be. I respect the developers who make the website and the tool for us. However, it is only a temporary way to boost the confirmation. If bitcoin do not have a good solution with the confirmation issue, it will soon be destroyed

[spngebob]

Still works, but not as good as when it was launched because too many people use it and we know that block size is too small
The best solution are increasing fee in transaction or re-broadcast transaction if necessary.

Not good as it used to be because too many people are using it?
100 accelerations are allowed/hour. It is pretty much the same, when they mine block they include your tx in it. Nothing has changed.

When more people know about this accelerator then it is higher chance that you won't be lucky enough to submit your transaction.
So I think it is pretty significant change. Obviously nothing with the tool itself wasn't changed...

I know about only this tool. Do you guys know if there is another tx accelerator out there?
