    Bitcoin taking forever?!
    Bought a very small amount on coinbase last night...over 15 hours later and still hasn't been sent to my book. Anyone know the wait time with this huge back log?

    sorry I'm new to bitcoin and this forum and not sure where to post this

    last time I sent bitcoin and they had that delay message it took 13 hours. I sent it in the middle of the day and it didn't go through until the middle of the night.

      WELl last night they actually had buys disabled. I bought right when it got back online at 6pm eastern last night...still nothing. I read on the coinbase site that it could be 72 hours. Is this an over statement? Anyone had luck with coinbase today?

        Don't know. We don't gamble here in the USA. It's illegal, you know. Maybe one of our posters in Ethiopia or Antarctica can help you out.

            It is getting ridiculous these days. All I can tell you is that if you are wanting to wager, move money to a book, on certain games. Make sure you do it days in advance because you never know when the delays are going to happen and you can't predict how long it is going to take.

                        Not a Bitcoin price tracker personally, but the last I looked it was $13k, now it is nearly $17k...Must have gone up nearly 4k in how many days? Not sure what day it was when I saw $13k, but it was not TOO long ago.

                              Coinbase staff is a joke, the tech guys are the coffee and bagel guys

                              Try transferring through binance, don't know if they still won't allow new members but they're fast. Bunch of Asians in China behind thedesk that aren't overweight and stupid

                                        Coinbase can take up to a week if I remember correctly. Check your email and it should tell you a date it's guaranteed to arrive by.

                                          People need to stop depositing with Bitcoin and start using alts like ETH and LTC and BCH, and stop using books that won't take an alt until they do. Only way to solve this.

                                          Core isn't interested in relieving the current transaction backlog and is basically telling everyone to shut up and wait for lightning network so don't think it'll get any better anytime soon.

                                            yup, Bitcoin is def. not going to 'speed up' anytime soon, fees suck as well, use ETH or LTC like mentioned above

                                                I would agree with this but cannot because I am positive

                                                I will just say, they are doing their best.

                                                OK??

                                                  They opened up phone support lines a month or so ago.

                                                  A few people who have tried it say it takes a long time on hold to get through but once you do the support has been above expectations.
                                                  .

                                                      Right now it’s just too popular but I’m sure it’s gonna die out

                                                        Bitcoin is digital gold

                                                        There other ways to deposit as mentioned above

                                                        That said it took me 30 minutes to deposit bitcoin to BetOnline last week

                                                        Nothing wrong here just FUD

                                                            If your book accepts Alt Coins, next time convert BTC to one of the alts (ETH,BTH,LTC) and send that way. Will arrive much faster and will only cost pennies to send.
