I have 9 unconfimed transactions

[mcaval]

Hello,

I'm quite new at the bitcoin world so Im struggling a little bit. I sent 9 transactions via blockchain. Its been over 12hrs and no confirmation yet. Is this normal ? The other times I sent with this fee it didnt take over 2hrs to confirm. Here are the transactions :

https://blockchain.info/tx/cf4c28d7b4e1238b80e465eb682942d22daee5532087ba2147d6aabb4b099f07

i'm sorry to inform you, but all of them are using a fee that is lower than the currently recommanded fee...

Next to this, the unconfirmed output to the change address was always used as an input for the next transaction, so only the very first transaction uses confirmed inputs, all others cannot be confirmed before the transaction it depends on is confirmed (all transactions can theoretically be confirmed in the same block, but a depending tx can never be confirmed in an older block than the tx it depends on)


Possible sollutions can be found on the links i posted...

Well there are 70K unconfirmed transactions atm, so you have to wait.

OR do this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1869833.msg18586094#msg18586094

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to add the transactions on https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ but says the transaction doesnt exist. Why is that ? For example, for this transaction "http://mocacinno.com/feecheck.php?txid=cf4c28d7b4e1238b80e465eb682942d22daee5532087ba2147d6aabb4b099f07" I put the id "cf4c28d7b4e1238b80e465eb682942d22daee5532087ba2147d6aabb4b099f07" . Is this correct ?

That should have been correct, but it seems the transaction wasn't propagated to viabtc, or viabtc removed it from their mempool (this can happend because of the huge backlog)... You could try to push the raw transaction to a couple of nodes.

How to do this?
1) get the raw transaction by pasting the tx id here: http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw and submitting
2) copy the raw transaction you get
3) broadcast it to a couple of nodes that have a webinterface for broadcasting transactions (https://www.google.com/search?num=100&newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=online+broadcast+bitcoin+transaction&oq=online+broadcast+bitcoin+transaction )

IF you're lucky, the signed transaction will end up in viabtc's node mempool. When this happens, you can use their tool to accelerate your transaction.

I realise this isn't an easy thing to do, i suppose the problem is the huge unconfirmed transaction backlog. There are so many unconfirmed transactions the mempool from the nodes gets filled up, and they start dropping transactions

[basesaw]

Just wait for it as blockchain has multiple transactions per seconds. Also it is all depend on the transaction fee you put. The higher the transaction fee the higher rate it will be prioritize.

[mocacinno]

I just realised why the tx accellerator might fail:
only the very first transaction is using confirmed inputs:

81d086f18f7d11c2337d76412a86498ee1637f9cc6db698e841d1e854528ca91

All other transactions depend on this one!

So, you should try to push this transaction to viabtc's next block... I tried, but apparently they received to many requests this hour... You should try again next hour.

So, in short, you should start by making sure 81d086f18f7d11c2337d76412a86498ee1637f9cc6db698e841d1e854528ca91 is broadcasted to viabtc, then accellerate it... Then you should make sure ed0cc620f66855eb214b12513b250898f904936f16120f54bb7ca686eb542fd7 is broadcasted to viabtc + accelerated
Then, in this order:

Don't chance the order, since each transaction depends on the outputs of the transaction above... If you skip broadcasting/accelerating one of them, viabtc might reject the transaction since it uses inputs that are not in his UTXO set

Thanks, I sent it on 4 different sites. Let's see what happens.

[mcaval]

I was able to submit all of them on https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ after pushing on the other sites. I hope this helps now. I will used better fees on the next time, I used the blockchain default. Thanks for the support.

Blockchain.info has a reputation for setting insufficient fees for fast confirmation on the transactions they send.  If you want your transactions to confirm quickly, you may want to consider using a different wallet in the future.

Blockhain.info has  "advanced send" option so everyone can adjust fees. It's just people don't use that option.

[mcaval]

Finally the all were confirmed. Thanks a lot for the support. A learned a lot of interesting things with this matter.

Which wallet do you guys recommend ?

Blockchain.info is definitely NOT recommended with the bugs that they have. You would want to choose a wallet which has floating fees and allows you to configure the fee based on the estimation that they give i.e. how many blocks you want it to be confirmed within.

Bitcoin Core offers this. Electrum would be the best if you want a lightweight wallet.

Your main options are:

-Some even more crap/too regulated/shady online wallet.  Blockchain is pretty buggy but I prefer it to other online wallets and trust them to be legitimate.  If you don't have much Bitcoin this might genuinely be an acceptable choice.  You could also keep using Blockchain and just set higher fees if you understand what fee to set.

-A software wallet, which is a wallet which you store on your computer.  This is the most normal way to actually own Bitcoin instead of trusting a service with it.  You could get Electrum or MultiBit for lightweight wallets, or if you're really dedicated you could get Bitcoin Core (which is harder to run).

-A hardware wallet like a TREZOR, which are immune to viruses and ideal for long-term storage.

You could also use any combination of the three for different purposes.

I am using blockchain.info wallet and i set fee enough to get confirmation in next block (around 1 block). Electrum is way secure than any other web wallets where you can also set custom fee as default so that you don't have to keep changing fees on every transaction.

[SONG GEET]

Blockchain.info has a reputation for setting insufficient fees for fast confirmation on the transactions they send.  If you want your transactions to confirm quickly, you may want to consider using a different wallet in the future.

But i have never got my transaction stucked without confirmation when using their wallet. They have advanced send option where i can set custom fees to get faster confirmation but many newbies don't know about this and just go with low fee.

However electrum can be better choice than blockchain.info wallet.

[uneng]

Somedays are worse to complete our transactions. It's normal to have transactions for more than 12 hours without finish, some of them take more than 2 days to finish, all depend the fee you set on your transaction.
If you need to finish it fast set a higher fee, if you aren't in a hurry, you can set a lower fee and wait a little more.

Your problem with unconfirmed transactions wasn't caused by blockchain.info, but rather that you hit the window where bitcoin network was spammed.
That was the main issue here. True the fee set by blockchain.info might be bigger - but it was 120 satoshi per byte, while recommended is 140 sat/byte, not that big difference.
I want to clarify something - using other wallet won't guarantee that your transactions will be processed faster.
