    Have been waiting 2 days now for a transaction. This is beyond ridiculous. I used the fee blockchain suggested (120.3) and it said would be confirmed in 2 blocks, or 20 minutes.....its been 48 hours. Something needs done about this. There's no reason a transaction should be skipped this long of a few cents in fees. I wish I knew how to send it out again with higher fees.

    Miners need to realize people will stop using bitcoin because of things like this. No one is going to want to purchase bitcoin--something that is supposed to be instant--and what days for it to go through and risk the possibility of it dropping in value

    If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Wanted to bet the fights tonight but that's looking unlikely

    My Bovada payout never made it through the blockchain. Bitcoin was looking like the new neteller for awhile.

    For you guys waiting for your received transaction to confirm, here is a simple trick..

    generate another wallet address or send to another one of your wallets with the unconfirmed funds... attach a higher fee.... one to be sure to get confirmed... 220 satoshis/byte will do it

    this will get both transactions confirmed, as the lower fee will be piggy backed on to the newest transaction with the sufficient fee

    I've been waiting about 55 hours now for a bitcoin transaction with 120.3 satishis fees. Didnt know anything about fees before this and just did what blockchain suggested. They said it would be confirmed in 20 minutes.

    Here's my transaction:

    This really works? Wish I would have known about this earlier. Does it have to be the very next transaction you make or could the piggy backing still work several transactions down the line?

    Nice! I tried the accelerator two days ago, but it still didn't help Bovada's transaction go through. Maybe because it was too big. It was 3 Coins

    Yesterday I had a transaction for two dimes go through in 5 minutes. Then I made a second transaction for a measly hundred and fifty bucks and I'm still waiting on that one to go through.

    Does anyone know if I can set my blockchain wallet up to always at a higher fee I'm guessing I have to do it through my desktop in the settings?

    Try again at the top of the hour. They only take 100 transactions per hour.

    If your wallet's at Blockchain.info, you can pick your own fees by clicking the "Advanced" button on each Withdrawal form. Then just double or triple the fees they suggest, tell them to go blow themselves when they object (tripling a number near zero's still a number near zero), then Send and you'll cut to the front of the confirmations line.

    BUT, right now I think Blockchain.info's got a site specific problem, so that advice, normally pretty solid, might not work right now.

    I think the issue with Blockchain.info is that their default miners fee is 120 Satoshi/B. That's way too low of a fee to get transfers confirmed in a timely manner. I just sent some funds from Coinbase to Blockchain and saw that Coinbase has a default miner fee 265 Satoshi/B. The transaction was confirmed almost instantly. When sending through Blockchain definitely double the miner fee and you should be fine.

    Ah, interesting, yeah, that explains it. And I totally agree w/ always doubling or tripling blockchain.info's suggested fees.

    They CLAIM they've got some fancy dynamic algorithm that's supposed to pick optimal fees based on current congestion, but that's BS. A monkey throwing darts at a random fees board would have a better chance of getting you quick confirmations than Blockchain's "algorithm".

    back up, but I had received some coin yesterday at 115 and still hasn't been confirmed.

    May just have to send straight from bookmaker to localbitcoin. Anyone know if that is frowned upon or is it perfectly fine?

    No problem going straight from the book to localbitcoins. They dont care abut gambling usage.

    It's pretty much only Coinbase you need to keep insulated from bookmaker transactions.

    Try the viabtc accelerator at the very top of the hour. Put the transaction into it, this :

    4cedcc9754b79102b07cfc4036fdf8cff60d2703 3e7648c030b149d447e4383e


    work within an hour for me after waiting 2.5 days

    Where do I find the transaction details?

    In Blockchain, it shows I still have the money in my wallet, and when I check 5Dimes (where I transferred it to) it shows that it is pending. It has been over 24 hours so far and still hasn't cleared. Prevented me from bidding on Cavs ML...not happy!

    The viabtc accelerator worked for me! Thank you guys for the tip! That's really an incredible service. I would have been happy to pay them extra to throw it in their block, but the fact that they do it for free is pretty incredible.

    Also big props to whomever first recommended itbit as a way to withdraw. I'm able to trade with pretty low commission and then withdraw and the wires come in the next business day like clockwork. I just received the 6200 into my bank account from that btc that took forever to confirm...and it only confirmed at 1am.

    So thanks again for all the information!
