with very very low fee id start worry after probably a day

There's really nothing to worry about. Payment confirmation takes time due to transactions that runs within seconds. So, it is when you do transactions, be patient.

I think you should not be too worried. It is possible that your current bitcoin transaction is being updated. Make sure the bitcoin address is correct. If correct, the bitcoin will come to your wallet.

And why did you do that ? You've been part of the forum for one full year (probably) and still don't know what could happen when you set low fees ?

Well, I can say the transaction gets stuck. If the fees are really low, it might never even go through. Now one of the following might occur:

1) The transaction takes a lot of days but gets eventually confirmed on its own.
2) The transaction stays unconfirmed until it's forgotten from the mempool and then you can recreate it.
3) Try accelerating it using viabtc or one of the people who offer transaction acceleration for free or use someone who offers the service for free.

If you are putting the fee on a low which is very very low you said. Probably you need to wait for at least a day or two? Probably at that time you can see the transfer. . Well next time it is better if you will make the fee up so that it will not worry you.

it's still a better standard time for you to wait for a while and I suggest that you check your transaction wallet again to make sure you do not get the wrong address, if you make a mistake then you make a very fatal mistake and you probably lose bitcoin.

Thank you all for your responses.

my deposit address is valid I generated it just before the transaction at kraken.

thank you for this precision, I did not know that we could accelerate transactions.

I made a request to viabtc.

This is not a matter of worry.sometimes it takes time.you have to be patience and keep trust on it

The situation is normal if you set you fee at a very low transactions fee the transactions may take longer even up to days before getting confirmed on it own, or better still you can use the service of a transactions acceleration to make it faster. Or council it and recreation it but you put in the wrong or incorrect btc address be rest assured the bitcoin will bounce back to your wallet.

ok, i'll wait until tomorrow, if tomorrow still unconfirmed i'll pay a tx accelerator ..

Yes, I wouldn't recommend you to worry about that yet. Wait like 2 days to start worrying

everything is ok, btc received! Ouf !!! it's long with 1 euro fee,

It took some time but it's done. You can't expect the confirmation in 1 hour time if you give small fee. Accelerators are great things (if they really work), but you can't rely on them. Eg. ViaBtc give you chance every full hour, and just for a few seconds time, because a lot of people are waiting for a free acceleration instead of offering a little bit higher fee.

do not worry as long as address bitcoin is correct, this is where we need patience and accuracy if it is sure that bitcoin address you fill is correct then patience to wait
