Paxfull transaction delay

[Maxmagnus]

Almost 6 hours i have sent 0.125 btc to a friends btc adress.

So far the transaction has 0 confirmations.Could it be because the transaction fee was to small??

Any advice on how to react or i should just wait for two possible things to happen,the transaction goes through or btc are returned to my wallet??

1. You should post the transaction id here so we can check out and help you. How do you expect us to help you?

Yes. It's very likely that this is the issue.

Try to accelerate your transaction with ConfirmTX.com (or with ViaBTC) or just wait. Your transaction will very likely get confirmed. But if for some reason it never gets confirmed, those coins will return to the address that sent the tx. If you don't own the address (e.g: It's from a third party), contact the website support if this ever happens.

This is pretty much it.I havent had any serious issues with paxfull in the past year or so.

But honestly i dont know what to think.My first guess is that the transaction fee was to low.

This has never happened before and taking in consideration that people had complaints on paxfull,their support and some illegal stuff,
i honestly hope that i wont loose my btc.

Yes. In this case, the fee of 5 sat/byte is quite lower than the normal.

I suggested you to accelerate your transaction with one of the websites above. But it's not possible in this case (at least for free). ViaBTC won't accept transactions with a fee of 10 sat/byte or lower, and ConfirmTX only accelerates transactions for free if they don't exceed the size of 500 bytes (yours is 2220 bytes).

So like I said before, just wait for the confirmation - which is probably going to happen.

I just hope that something doesnt go wrong.And by that i mean that this transaction wont take days

Well, you have to contact paxful support.

The money won't get returned to your wallet because of the irreversible nature of bitcoin. You should tell paxful support about the issue and hopefully they will pay for an acceleration service to accelerate your transaction for you.

Otherwise, either wait or pay for an accelerator yourself. But do contact paxful support as this is their fault.

Well paying 0.00013 BTC as a fee on a 2kb+ transaction is definitely not going to get it confirmed fast by any means.

If i were you then i would contact support right now and hopefully they can resolve your issue by submitting the transaction into a transaction accelerator and paying for it. If not, then you'd have to pay for an accelerator yourself or get someone else to do it for you(there are a few on bitcointalk offering these services for free, browse around).

Not sure why they were sending with such low fees, maybe a glitch.
