You just haven't looked at the right time.

When its going up there is pressure on the network but whilst it is at 18k like today that's fine.

Well... this is kind of weird. I sent 2 Deposits to 2 different books today. Both books have credited my account.... but Blockchain claims both transactions are at 0 Confirmation. Books have credited my account... 3 hours ago. Crazy.

Which books?

Would like to see them all credit on sight and just reverse the betting if the payment does not arrive.

Bovada and Bookmaker

Usually Bookmaker requires at least 2 Confirmations. Surprising.

Bovada usually credits your acct. within a minute after sending. It's odd how they do this. How do they know I sent it when it's not even confirmed on the network?

They can see it in their wallet as unconfirmed the same as you do. As soon as the network picks it up.

This morning when I checked it there was 495 unconfirmed at one point. I had just made a transfer and took about 1 minute. It would be nice if that would happen all the time.

40K unconfirmed now....blocks being created slow, can't catch up. Long waits.

**HedgeHog** · 02-02-17, 04:30 PM

I sent 4k to BOL 4 hours ago and no confirmations. If this is the new norm, I'll need to rethink about using Bitcoin.

Ive been lucky enough to cash out every day this week, and I've waited a minimum of 5 hours every night for btc to go from blockchain to coinbase every night.. it's penetrating pathetic

Wow, that is pathetic. i sure hope they find a solution soon

**WoolyBully** · 02-03-17, 06:55 AM

I have had a BTC payout unconfirmed for about 15 hours now, any advice?

**HedgeHog** · 02-03-17, 07:08 AM

My deposit to BOL still has 0 confirmations, going on 19 hours.

i made a deposit today to bol and it took less than 20 min to get a few confirmations and to get credited.

That's amazing considering how backed up they are, 67k unconfirmed transactions currently.

**chosen4th** · 02-03-17, 09:41 AM

I transferred from blockchain to coinbase at 505 pm yesterday.. still 0

**HedgeHog** · 02-03-17, 10:06 AM

I just got confirmed. Total time was 21.5 hours.

**ehp6737** · 02-03-17, 10:23 AM

0 confirmations......18 hours and counting. Never had to wait this long before.....usually a few hours tops

**WoolyBully** · 02-03-17, 10:26 AM

Number of unconfirmed transactions seems to be going down (71,000 to 64,000) in the last hour. Been waiting 19 hours now for my 2 BTC so hopefully soon.

**Crusherrr** · 02-03-17, 02:19 PM

25 hours for 1.5 BTC payout from CarbonSports. I did one to myself that took 11 minutes but I did a $1 fee on .5 BTC. These books need to stop being so cheap and beef up their transaction fees by a few cents.

**Crusherrr** · 02-03-17, 02:19 PM

Blockchain.info not even working for me at the moment. Can't even access the site.

**chosen4th** · 02-03-17, 03:34 PM

Im pretty sure whatever is going on right now has NOTHING to do with the books.. I got my money from heritage yesterday, transfered it to my blockchain wallet w no problem, then transferred it to coinbase, waiting 23 hours now on my transfer to coinbase.

Blockchain down for me too

It was crazy last night... just before I went to bed 75k unconfirmed last night. Highest I ever seen.

Still crazy, they deal with so much money and this happens? this kind of stuff is what will hold it back from it ever being a legitimate currency

**michael777** · 02-03-17, 03:57 PM

30 hours for me from blockhain to a book,nothing,penetrate this

Where the hell do all these penny transactions come from? Most of these stupid transactions are for some random amount of pocket change. Certainly clogs the system up

**ehp6737** · 02-03-17, 05:41 PM

Up to 26 hours now pending for me...emailed support dept for my wallet and they said prob another 18 hours for my trans based on what they're seeing. That would put it at 2 days that it just sits there pending for confirmation. Meanwhile you have to pray btc price doesn't tank. Totally ridic

**TheMoneyShot** · 02-03-17, 06:18 PM

Just to give you some heads up when making some Bitcoin Deposits to books...

It's very rare but a few books will grant you your Bitcoin Deposit with 0 Confirmations. As long as it's in the system and the address is in their wallet.

Bovada will grant your deposit in Under a minute... right when you send the deposit into the system with Zero Confirmations. (Seems like it's 100% automated.)

GTBets will also grant your deposit within minutes with zero confirmations. You must ask this through Customer Live Chat before sending.

Some books are understanding the network is getting clogged up... therefore giving you your deposit quicker.

**WoolyBully** · 02-03-17, 06:40 PM

Requested a ~ 1.8 BTC payout from Heritage yesterday - it is "in" my wallet with no confirmations for 26.5 hours now. Heritage did their part. I wish there was a way to see more info - like estimated wait time, where in the queue the transaction is, etc.

**KDOWNS** · 02-03-17, 07:02 PM

Just curious, did everyone finally get confirmed? I waited 16 hrs to get a deposit confirmed. Now I see its getting down to around 40K, everyone from yesterday should have been credited i would think.

Still 0 confirmations from 1:30PM yesterday for 1.5 BTC.

**ThaWoj** · 02-03-17, 07:40 PM

Fukk I wish I would have saw this thread. Cashed out yesterday to blockchain wallet just fine and decided to xfer to coinbase today and havnt see anything in hours.

*edit - soon as I post this, transaction went thru lol

**themike78** · 02-04-17, 07:03 PM

I waited 8 hours today for a deposit. I am done with bitcoin. I am not gambling anymore on how long my deposit will take so that I can miss all the games. I am going back to the old money transfer way. Much easier. Fuk bitcoin.

When the mempool is greater than 15,000, add some to the fee and you'll normally get in the first or second block. I've been using .0009 all day today without a problem.

Some deposits took 2 days when I tested the default fee at a high mempool. Always look at the mempool before sending.
