I've been waiting for 20 minutes and only have gotten 2 confirmations.  Is that normal?  Thanks!

Blocks are supposed to be confirmed once roughly every 10 minutes. This can vary based on a number of things though.

That's why LTC might come handy. Confirmations are much faster.

It's easy to wait more than an hour to confirm a transaction.

In my experience, 6 confirmations generally takes a hour. So 2 confirmations takes around 20 minutes, I think OP must already have 6.

Yes it takes forever and so frustrating to send BTC from one exchange to another and have to worry about them losing 10% of their value in transit.  It can definitely happen and could lose 20% in an hour or whatever.   I try to wait until the chart shows a nice slow uptrend...too much volatility and I just wait.

How much of a fee did you pay, maybe up it a little bit and it will get confirmed faster.

Regards,

Martin.

Can you up the fee to an existing transaction that you already sent?  Assuming you are using bitcoin-qt?

that a good question, I would like to know also if you can rectify or rather add value to an existing transaction that you earlier sent like mrjeff is asking Smiley

I don't believe you can, sadly. I am not 100 percent sure, so maybe someone with more experience can comment but I don't think you can. Hope it gets confirmed soon.

Regards,

Martin.
