Ethereum transaction delay: how long?

[BitcoinLoan]

It's the fault of this strange game cryptokitty. There are a lot of transactions with ethereum and this slows down all other transactions. I hope it will be repaired

[khan149]

Ethereum transactions are taking longer than usual to get confirmed, and this is because of CryptoKitties, a video game similar to Pokemon card but based on the blockchain.It'll be all right soon.

[NeonXL]

Because of the CryptoKittes, the price of gas is increased, now the commissions with a low gas price go VERY LONG, you can check the gas price at the ethgasstation (safe low, cost for transfer and etc.)

[Lord casanova]

still this congestion caused by crypto kitties have no effect on the price of ethereum. sooner or later people will understand that these digital kitties was not worth spending 250$  bucks and then everything will be back on its track

[michellee]

maybe because of CryptoKittes change ethereum fee to higher fee and this is what we know with bitcoin price too if we want to make a transaction. but I don't know how long the transaction that ethereum needed to get confirmed and I see many people are waiting too long now. I hope that soon the fee will be normal again so we can send ethereum without waiting too long to get confirmed.

[BlomBaster]

Maybe this issues will end in 2018, I dont know. To many tokens transaction and maybe kitties are the basic problem.

I read the news that at the end of December or early January, developers will make an update that will allow a little bit to unload the network

Can someone explain to me why this transaction is stuck?

This was transaction from Bitstamp to Cryptopia wallet. I transfered 2x 0.9 ETH, second was from Poloniex, Poloniex tx arrived after 2- minutes but Bitstamp is still 0 value but there is like confirmed.

The status of this transaction "Success". Sometimes even with high gvei, transactions can go on for a long time. In such cases, you just have to wait.

[kunsh]

thank you a lot

[Partizanai]

It really depend of the network load and the fees you are paying for transactions, lower fees - longer transactions, so i advice to pay a bit more in fees so you can move your ETH faster

App based on the Etereum blockchain is slowing the progress of the transactions. The apps name is the crypto kitties and it is very annoying for the big percent of the traders which ain't interested in the gains through this app. There are also some other factors that are including the network capability of processing the transaction. Developers are working hard in improving the current state of the blockchain. There are still many things that Ethereum lacks off but in 2018 thing will change towards better. Ethereum price has jumped very high in comparison to the last year and that wouldnt be possible if the investors would not support this great coin with the powerfull capabilities of improvement.

2 day 18 hours I have been waiting for some eth that was transferred
Is this normal
Don’t know how much gas they used

It is because there is a high load at this time on Ethereum network as many new coins are also launching on ETH network so it's building up more load and I am sure they are working on that and I am hoping they will solve this problem soon it is happening because ETH is growing day by day and the amount of transactions is also increasing that is why burden is there but I am sure it will be solved soon.

[michellee]

I think the transaction of ethereum is not take too long as long as you use the proper gas or if you withdraw from the exchange, you need to use the fee that apply in that exchanges. usually, it does not need more than 1 minute but if the network have many transaction is in queue then your transaction need to wait for a while. if everything goes right, then you can see that your transaction is getting confirmed in a second and it is better to wait for a while until the transaction get confirmed.

[cryptocrocs]

It depends on how much gas did you spent,or if the network is too congested there will be longer time for you to receive it.

[kensaii]

ETH processing stopped due to high load on ETH network. Processing will resume when network load reduces. This is the message most exchanges are displaying. So how long will they clear backlog transactions. Will it be temporal or it will be happening here and there.

Everyday, more transaction with a higher fee than the older transaction keep adding on the top of the whole network. This is getting bloat each day.

[mbakruroh]

usually happens because we set the gas price gwei low. so I think it should add gas price gwei so the transaction can run fast and not delay.

[svobodnyi]

Now the ethereum network has fallen again and all transactions go through, who knows why?

This doesn't make sense to see how many you guys still saying ethereum is still slow right now.  there are so many people don't even try to get the fact through the reliable site of ethereum just like etherscan.
There's only 1,5k transaction pending and that means if the network is very smooth right now. https://etherscan.io/txsPending
