Longest in my case is 12 hours. I always use the highest recommended fee to avoid ny transaction being stuck. I've seen some people took longer than a week to get their transactions confirmed. To avoid these cases you should consider the fee you use first specially these days.

[YuginKadoya]

I have known someone that takes 1 week and his transaction was not confirmed then it just return to his wallet so don't worry that much, all you need to do is wait then make another transaction again but try to add higher fee so it would be confirm immediately,

You paid 38.76 sat/B for this... what do you expect?
Check http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ your transaction is right now among 16k others with the same small fee.. and below thousands of others with a lot higher fees per byte.

There are chances you transaction might be even dropped and the amount will appear back in your wallet.

We are going through a tough period now, with all of the spam attacks and the scaling problems because of that. We will just have to push

through this BS and hope things will be a bit better after the 1st of Aug 2017, when the first phase of the scaling solution are put into place. The

harm that are being done by this situation that are being created by selfish people are not clear, but I think it is significant enough to stall our

progress going forward.

The longest time Ive encountered so far to confirm the transactions is 72hrs. Imagine it took 3days to confirm the transactions. Im hoping this will solved the issue as soon as possible.

Current transactions need to use a larger cost than usual, I believe this problem will not be long we experience and every day very bitcoin transactions

The unconfirmed transaction in blockchain is only about 58K which is way lower when there was a spam attack and yet the fee is still high. This is because most of the users are already used to paying high fees. The fee should go down if all the users start paying lower fees when unconfirmed tx are lower.

[Bluengold341]

is there any way i can just cancel this transaction? reason i'm asking is because i like to bet online and it doesnt let me transfer form my main account to poker account while a pending transaction still going through

The number of transactions might be smaller but you should take a look at the size of it.
The tx have dropped from 200k to currently 65k but the size of the mempoool has dropped only from 100M to 70M.

People and services are combining their payments it seems

Send the transaction again with a bigger fee.
It will get confirmed and the other will just get dropped.

The longest time I had to wait was about 3 days and that was the same time everybody adopted the 1 confirmation protocol after the blockchain was  hit with transaction malleability attacks

does the type of wallet really matter when it comes to sending out your bitcoins??? I know most people denounce blockchain.info wallet for its low fee suggestions... aslo being the cause of some delayed confirmations

[megynacuna]

Well you need to adopt because the delayed confirmations have become a part of us and the Bitcoin community has no alternative as at yet so until a proper solution is found I will advice you to be patient and take things calmly.

[Bluengold341]

well it's affecting my ability to transfer funds from my wallet to my poker wallet on this bitcoin gambling site I use... is there a chance that a .0075 transaction will be stuck forever??

[btccashacc]

In my experience the longest transaction that i ever made was 2 days even though i paid recommended fee, i ever saw a guy where his transaction stucked almost 8 days since he paid unsufficient fee. The point is if you want to get confirmed fast please pay higher fee than recommended fee since the higher fee you provide the faster confirmation you get. On the other hand some people prefer to pay less fee cause he won't spend too much satoshi only for a fee, i think it's ok if you're not in a hurry.

No..
Transactions either get confirmed in a matter of max a week (heard of a few taking even longer) or they will get dropped from the mempool and it will look like you never tried to send the coins.

You can either try and use an accelerator like viabtc (if you find a spot) or try to send the transaction again with a higher fee as I suggested.

The higher fee transaction will get through the current one will get dropped as being invalid.

[allyoucaneat]

how do I check the fee that was used? I am waiting on a confirmation from bitcoin someone sent me, and it's taking quite a long time.

[haroldtee]

It's surprising how some people have waited for so long for their transaction to be successful. I have never really had that issue since I started using bitcoin till date maybe because of fee though. Highest my transaction ever went was 5 hours but with all these negative complaint going around, it ain't a good thing at all.

[CardShare]

I normally set my fee to high just because I want it to try get confirmed within the next two blocks and it usually happens very quickly you get your conformation I watch the blocks on blockchain after so long you refresh new blocks and transactions have been done and payment is complete. some people have had transactions stuck for longer periods of time too rebroadcasting should be done as a last resort in my mind don't manually set fees unless you know how to calculate them correctly .

If you are able to give a good transaction fees then it will get through and these complaints are from people who are sending the transactions with less fees and that is where the problem starts,anything below 0.0006 btc now a days is considered a low fees and it might wont go through and ends up reaching your wallet at a later time.
