BTC.com Transaction Accelerator

[kotwica666]

We need more such option because when it comes to transaction backlog, even ViaBTC refuses transaction acceleration requests sometimes in that period. However, I am also joining the 'it's too expensive' club because why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it.

They don't expect that users who know how to calculate fee will use this service. For sure they expect that they will earn on people mistakes. If someone will need realize transaction fast, and it will be important for him, will pay any amount to do this.. Especially for international deals, or between companies.

I see. Almost every web wallet is including appropriate fees with each transaction according to the network load. On a corporate level, this service might prove very beneficial to push the things faster speed. Otherwise, for normal bitcoin users, $5 fees are insane in usual conditions. However, these kind of extra efforts to confirm the transaction are not something that we should be proud of as a bitcoin community.

Of course we can not be proud of that! In my opinion it is like a shot in the back. After all, the philosophy of Bitcoin is against any instruments used by the banks! The worst part is that behind this is btc.com domain - so it is someone from our community! I am even more afraid of what will be their next step to harm BTC.

I am of the opinion that we as a community should come forward with the uniform and strong stand to deal with such issues. It's not going to work well for us if we are just thinking about our own scenario on the individual level. Fortunately, I see a very good potential of the communities like bitcointalk in bitcoin sphere in order to build impact.

You insert your transaction and then click 'ESTIMATE PRICE', then you can pay with your VISA card so you can spend your bitcoin, the irony is unbelievable...

I did it and there was nothing, but now I see

They are taking advantage of the situation to get the maximum bitcoin of desperate people who want their transactions to be confirmed with the utmost urgency

...but the truth is that ViaBTC is overloaded and people are looking for other possibilities.

The service has become very popular and now there are many people using this service and is overloaded

One of my friend use this ViaBTC service ad he told, 'its too expensive' club and why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it and also he suggested to give a try to feebooster jar executable on github.

I know that most of you know that ViaBTC are offering a service to accelerate transactions and everyone seem to send transaction with low fees and use it to make things faster.
I was checking btc.com blockexplorer until I saw an option to accelerate transaction which probably got added recently, I thought I should share it with you.

Unlike ViaBTC though, the service is not free but It's really nothing much when you need to speed up a transaction urgently: https://pushtx.btc.com/

"Cooperating with main Bitcoin pools, we provide transaction accelerator service, which can make the probability of confirming transaction within 1 hour come up to 75% and 98% within 4 hours."

I tried to use sites which were similar to one at the Google but still didn't find any a good think to accelerate the Bitcoin transaction in case of the unconfirmation .
Here you BTC.com , can I ask that how did it worked because I don't understand at all to use to use .
From some recent weeks I am facing the problem of unconfirmation but didn't get a better solution .
Here I remembered that in this forum There was one post for the Bitcoin transaction accelerate where it was mentioned that to contact quickseller but due to negative with positive trust I was doubt about to contact or not

ViaBTC is totally free as far as I know, It's always working but they have an hourly limit of 100 transactions per hour so If you can't submit, you should comeback later to try again.

[autada]

No need to use a paid service, viabtc is best, we can get our transactions confirmed within hours, and btc.com also promise within 4 hours, no big difference with viabtc. And we have paid to the miners, why we pay more? It is quite unfair.

[MillionsBTCdev]

I recently tried this service, its true that viabtc accelerator is free but it hard to submit a transaction there as it is always full.
Anyway, i had a transaction that was stuck for 7 hours already with a tx fee of 0.0003. So the rest of the child tx from that also did not get confirmed. Since i was in need to get my tx confirmed already, i used their service and paid 10$! lol. But in all fairness to them, it did work, my tx got confirmed in less than 30 mins.

So my advice, if you get a stuck transaction and urgently need it to be confirmed, you can try viabtc first and if that doesn't work, and you are willing to pay the price, then use btc.com.

PS. i used a prepaid visa card that is loadable via bitcoins lol

I tried using their accelerated and they set an estimated fee of $13 for my $39 transaction. It's worthless to pay such a big amount to confirm transactions and better to pay the miners their fee (which was $2 in my case). Viabtc was working well earlier but now they keep giving an error for transactions (if they cross the limit of submissions).

[Dlugina23]

Want to know or even someone get info what is the limit and when this site reset they limitions?

Same here experience many error from viabtc even i am waiting for 1 hour that is why my transaction it takes 1 days before i receive why this transaction fee are keeps increasing.. this is not the same before that you can pay even 10k sat.
If this is the problem about our transaction better to push bitcoin back in cheap price so that we can stay fast and low fee for every transaction

[neochiny]

At first, I thought they were gonna provide a service like viabtc. Shouldn't be too hard for them to give a 100 slots for acceleration, like viabtc does. Turns out it was still business.
Anyway, it could still help some out especially now that viabtc always seem to be full, but, is VISA truly the only payment option they have?

I've never paid over a dollar for my fees and I've yet to have a transaction stuck for a day.
And now, an accelerator charges 10x that. Though it's probably their way of combating abuse. (People deliberately setting low fees and then using the accelerator, like what happens with viabtc now.)

[bL4nkcode]

I successfully tried this accelerator before, that's when neutraLTC post it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1572823.msg18122681#msg18122681 and I said it's totally free, but when I want to push the other one then it requires a fee, and the worst is the fee is much higher than the transaction I want to push, I'd rather to wait than to pay that high tho.

I still hate the fact that they don't accept bitcoin as a payment method because this doesn't make much sense but I like the gesture they made recently:

Refund: If your transaction is not confirmed within 12 hours, we will fully refund to you automatically. Refund will be transferred back to your card in 10 ~ 15 days. This policy is not applicable to the transactions which are removed or double-spent during the acceleration process.

This will make more people use this service when they need this urgently and in the same time, they have guarantees that their transactions will either get confirmed or they get refunded instead.

For me it is absolutely natural that they should refund money if they don't realize service properly.

I still can not understand what was in the mind of person who invented VISA payment for Bitcoin transactions?!?! And the worst does not allow any other payment option - especially BTC!

For me, it still looks like a joke or mistake..

I would prefer to increase the fees rather than pay overprice, moreover use visa.
With 0.0008 btc/kb you can get confirmation around 30 minutes (if the network passable deserted) or over 2 hours (if the network crowded).

I think if they have serious business, they need to change the payment use bitcoin, because we use bitcoin as well.

I used this service today, because the sender (Betcoin.ag) included zero miner fee.  Transaction was of course stuck in limbo for 8 hours, and probably would have never confirmed.  At that point I noticed there was no fee attached.  It cost me ~$2 USD to accelerate transaction 0660a3c06d84da2bef2a524b25abe05457b0901f1ffd7b7b4d70f241688961cf of almost 4 BTC.  It was worth every penny to me.

2 confirms within 2 hours.

I wonder if these transactions accelerator are really needed. I did about 20 transactions through my ledger wallet HW.1 and some of them were over 200 USD in value. I paid MAX fee which was 1.90 USD or 192.75 satoshi/byte and all my transactions were confirmed in less than 5-10 minutes all. Paying 1.90 USD for a 200 USD value is not a big amount in fee, just compare it to Paypal or Skrill and you will believe me.

Anyway for people who still send from a lot of small inputs taken from faucets these accelerators must be a good option to use.

They are definitely not needed but people usually make mistakes, use outdated wallets like Multibit Classic etc... which sooner or later will result in having their transaction stuck for hours and If that TX is urgent you need is urgent, I don't think anyone would mind paying some extra money in order to get it confirmed.
