Youwager BTC Miner Preference

**Waterstpub87** · 11-12-17, 11:42 AM

Its annoying. Its not just youwager. Other books as well pay small miner fees. Other books are pretty good. Looselines was paying high fees last time I cashed out from there.

I think I might have the same issues as you with Betonline I currently have a bitcoin withdrawal on pending status for a day now, I call them this morning they told me they will contact the payment processing department to look into it.

yeah, after I this post I saw coinbase had a delay warning on their site, so I think it is heavy trading along with being cheap on the fees. My guess is that the books would gladly pay the higher fee, if they knew how bad it was for the players. However, trying to convey this to folks that English is a second language is a challenge. I guess I'll just sit and wait. I considered going back to paper checks, but then you get double fees when you buy BTC again.

The easiest and most trusted transaction search engine and block explorer.

Right now, the amount of unconfirmed transactions is around 175,000. That's alot of backlogs... might have to wait a while.

My youwager payout went thru pretty quick - less than 24hrs last week. Forget about it this weekend I have a payout and two deposits pending with no confirmations at a couple other books. Everyone trying to get get their money with btc dropping so quick.

Good book overall. However, they use a "low" miner preference (to keep their fees low) so withdrawals get stuck for hours/days. I have one with 0/6 confirmations for 21 hours now, and this is the second time it has happened. That along with a 1k max withdrawal is not a good combo. I tried calling to explain the miner preference, but the language barrier was too much to overcome.

Any help from SBR to have them (or the player) pay the fee to get priority in the transaction chain, would be greatly appreciated!

It's the network right now, with some war going on between factions causing very large fees and delays for bitcoin users everywhere.

You are not joking. 179203 unconfirmed transactions with over ten million in fees.

List of accelerators you can use to try and speed up the transaction. Only problem is Confirmtx is now charging $4 for all accelerations instead of those above 500 bytes because of the congestion. Viabtc you have to enter right at the top of the hour in order for it to get in the queue or you'll get an error message that they've met their quota.
