Transactions now take ages to confirm?

[Meuh6879]

wallet with a "default fee" must die.
variable fee is what Bitcoin network ask.

Bitcoin Core do this perfectly ... and congestion period is nothing.

[dwieyani]

any help how to do this 4 days now

Did you try to use viabtc tx accelerator? Just copy your txid there and viabtc will include your transaction in their block that they found. Or try to rebroadcast the transaction so the nodes don't drop your transaction aside that, there is nothing we can do with your problem.Next time use a higher fee to confirm your transaction faster next time.

In the past few days the average transaction fees you need to broadcast has increased and one of my transaction is rejected by the node because of lower transaction fees after a few days and have to rebroadcast with a higher fees,i think you need to re broadcast with a higher transaction fees if you want it to be confirmed.

Did you try to use viabtc tx accelerator? Just copy your txid there and viabtc will include your transaction in their block that they found.

I am trying to use Viabtc accelerator for the past few days and it says that the submission are beyond limit,there is nothing you can do if you are providing lower fees.

I've been using Bitcoin before it was cool

I don't ever remember a transaction taking so long. It has been 3+ hours, my VPN subscription payment is long overdue. Is anybody else having this issue?

If you're going to moan about how I should pay more fees, then please don't waste your time by posting

It does takes so long for some transctions to be confirmed. Only way to get your transaction through the number of unconfirmed transactions is to pay an over sized fee. Before a 90 sats per byte is already fast but now it requires 200+ sats per byte more if you don't want to wait for hours or worse days.

Yes, the costs are too high and one of the purposes to use bitcoin is to escape the high fees from banks. Now it's the same thing, high fees everywhere. I agree with you, before it was 90 sats per byte, now 200 sats.
What will come next? It's becoming more expensive each new day, many bitcoin users are sad because of this situation.

[Shiroslullaby]

Fees are getting higher, transaction times are taking longer.
The weakness of the current setup is finally being exposed and (hopefully) people realize that Bitcoin will never be the universal payment system to free the masses from the shackles of the oppressors.
Its still a way for rich people to get richer and buy things they probably don't need on the internet.
No one in Africa is going to be sending micropayments with fees like this. A lot of work needs to be done to achieve the dream.

This transaction is not in the MEMpool RULES.
You must leave the program open to regular emit this transaction.
Explanation with a TRUE example of this case : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1868604.0


http://btc.blockr.io/ don't see your TX.
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin don't see your TX.
https://insight.bitpay.com/ don't see your TX.


You use WRONG fees policy on the Bitcoin network (or your program).
Stop open thread when you emit from a depreciate program or virtual wallet ...

[Meuh6879]

I agree with you, before it was 90 sats per byte, now 200 sats.

fees are VARIABLE.
Depend of Network AND number of transactions in the emitted transaction AND the date of old transactions.

[Kubra Dam]

You guys really like to agitate the situation. Transactions never takes ages... You just need to learn how much fee you gotta pay for the transaction to take place without delay. If you're not putting enough fee, there is no reason to complain on.

Blockchain transaction's time depend on its fee and its amount. The lesser the amount of btc, the longer of time it would get confirmed and the larger the btc being processed, the shorter it would get confirmed since you will pay higher fees in larger amount of btc being transacted.

Then you don't know how transactions work. It's not the amount of BTC that you are transacting, it's the total size of your data/transaction (Inputs and Outputs) and transaction fees that really matter to the miners. You can transact hundreds of Bitcoin with a fee like 0.002BTC and it gets confirmed fast enough (of course there are many other factors that would delay the transaction being confirmed), if your data size is less than 1kb.

still nothing.

Mate, your transaction fees are low (pretty low if you consider the spam attack on the blockchain). Your transaction size is about 2.95kb which requires a total fee ranging between 0.003BTC-0.005BTC to get confirmed. This has been caused because you re-used your address with many lower transactions that caused the huge size of inputs.

On topic, And what should we do? That's why we are begging the developers to get a consensus fast to solve this matter, which keeps anyone away from Bitcoin because it's really annoying, at the moment.

Yeah nothing is happening... just keep cool and watch how everybody else but is having problems.
Fees are already killing micropayments and people are still saying.. just pay a higher fee.

Why the hell should I pay a higher than 50 cents fee for paying 8$ for a vpn?
Just label bitcoin as investment only coin not to be used for under 1000$ payments and be done with.

[Mkmanik]

Today i have withdrawn BTC from mercatox and still its pending. Also i cant able to use Viabtcaccelerate . God knows when the transaction will be confirmed!!

[mrjoy15]

I think taking a long duration against any transactions are becoming a common problem at all. Last couple days I'm noticing it so high, sometimes it takes 10 to 12 hrs for getting one confirmation. It's completely don't depends on your transfer fees, it's must be a problem on the block network.

[qiwoman2]

I had a terrible time getting my BTC confirmed the last couple of days and had to put two through the accelerator process. I am always paying advanced fees as well so am not stingy with the miner fees either sigh.  . I hope the scaling problem is sorted out very soon otherwise other alts will take the place of Bitcoin for smaller transactions.

LoL! You are talking about 3+ hours, let me welcome you to 3 days league. System recommended fees has reached its all time high and as far as I remember touched $0.82 to get transaction confirmed in 10 minutes. Last 5 of my transactions had taken around 2 days to confirm.
Time to say goodbye to Bitcoin for daily transactions, switch to Ethereum, the best alternative.

Technically you need to pay higher fees to have your bitcoin transaction confirmed faster so why not talk about that? However, You may want to use some bitcoin transaction accelerator like Viabtc or Pushtx. You may find it useful for your transactions.

I think you receive a lot of small transaction and then you send out a big amount. That is the major reason for your higher fees but it will help you to make your transaction faster.  

[Golftech]

i have also issue with the delay and the bad thing added up is the problem with resync of ccex wallet i have some btc there which already been hanging for past 3 days now and still showing waiting for confirmation, yobit withdraw took 2 days now ccex wallet took 3 days + to confirmed my deposited btc.

[bitbunnny]

I could also join the club, have three transactions that are not confirned for more then 36 hours. Some say that the fee should be at least 0.0006 BTC to get confirmed in reasonable time. Is this some kind of miners blackmail? I used Viabtc but this haven't helped because they are so overloaded with requests and the transactions just can't be submitted.

Viabtc is not some magical tool that suddenly  confirms your transactions.
They will just include your transaction in their block (if they mine one) and if (they have enough space for yours also).

And right now they are also at maximum capacity.

If things continue this way we might soon pass over 1$ fee for transaction.

No , it's just that there are people paying more than you do:).
And if we continue a financial fee battle over 1 mega of space every 10 minutes we'll pretty much have to pay fees that exceed the ones the banks have right now.
