I've been waiting for bitcoin transaction for 4 hours+... WTF???

[alejandrosn1998]

I also experienced what you experienced.
my transactions on etherscan already 1 day ago unfinished (pending)
its estimation time is not clear, because it increases every minute.
I have asked their marriage but they are only bialng to raise the cost of GAS. but I use 50GWEI.

eth network is terrible

[AmaZixOfficial]

Often the network is loaded or a small commission can be selected. I once when the network was loaded translation took 11 days.But all is well received.

Not true, often, the network is very well-managed. Blocks have even been not full for the past few days, in the times I looked at, anyway. I know they have been spikes of over 5k transactions waiting to be confirmed, but this is perfectly normal even, especially when there have been few blocks found in a period of time... everything evening out when many blocks are found together. Bitcoin has been scaling properly according to demand. You've to be really unlucky to have to wait 11 days if you paid a fee that matched the state of the network, and with RBF and CPFP options, or even Antpool "accelerators", urgent txs can be pushed easily.

It actually depends on the volume or weight of transaction. The more the transaction that is being process, the more time you need to wait and also depends on the price you paid for that transaction. That is very similar to ETH blockchain. Because of huge number of users to its blockchain, the transaction time taking longer and also asking for a higher fees that usual.

The transaction size/weight doesn't influence the amount of time it takes until your transaction is being included into a block.
All that matters is (1) the fee rate (sat/B) and (2) the amount of transactions in the mempool waiting to get confirmed.

Because of huge number of users to its blockchain, the transaction time taking longer and also asking for a higher fees that usual.

Nothing and noone is 'asking you' to pay a higher fee.
1 sat/B transactions do get accepted. If you aren't in a hurry and can eventually wait, the cheapest fee rate is enough to get a tx confirmed.

i got my 0.32 btc today while i withdraw it from an exchange last yesterday funny because i badly need the cash yesterday which is why i quickly send some money to cash out. all the hours of waiting and so i figured to send out ETH instead and my eth arrived in less than 10 minutes, i cashed it out and sit back to my job without worries.

probably so. a lot of us cashout yesterday and today too if you look at the trend.

I send a very small amount of coins to a friend to "demo" Bitcoin, today < SegWit to SegWit address > and the transaction

went through within a few minutes at a very low fee, so everything seems to be normal now.

What you are telling is about todays network position, and OP started the thread for July 3rd transaction and it got confirmed long back. So i think this thread should be closed so that unwanted messages should not be posted.

But man ethereum has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Ether txs where congested because of a Chinese exchange Fcoin made a voting system to list through deposits. One deposit equaled to 1 vote so most of coins promoters where massively depositing to get their coin listed.

Regarding Bitcoin I don't really know what the issue could be. I did a Transaction yesterday and took me.like 20minutes to confirm.

Then, read the previous replies.
Most of us had experienced a stuck transaction longer than 4 hours and it's pretty normal during busy days of the week or different factors.

Please stop replying to a week-old thread with a generic response like that, it's nonsense.

What the hell is happening today, does SegWit address got infected with some spam shit or what? Waiting for over 4 hours really starting to piss me off!

Hello,

An RBF flagged transaction (Replace-By-Fee) can be 'pumped' with a second transaction to increase the fee.

If viaBTC says your transaction already is confirmed, it most probably is.
I would suggest you head over to a block explorer (e.g. blockchain.info or blockchair) and enter your transaction id there. If it shows confirmed, it is confirmed and you don't have to worry.

Do you have core running and synced? Armory requires core to be downloaded and fully synced to show the current status of your tx's / balance.

Transactions in bitcoin are not said to be that fast like we could think, i expiered what you have now, i was waiting even more, patient is not only required in holding  Be more patient.

[king nothin]

you might want to check the mempool next time first before sending your tx. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h
also add a bit more fee to get your tx faster through, check this https://bitcoinfees.21.co/api/v1/fees/recommended

Bitcoin transactions always slow. I prefer to use enother coins for transactions. For example, you buy Eherium Classic, than do transaction and after buy bitcoin again.
