Topic: Anyone experiencing slow confirmation? (Read 1993 times)
The longest I had was ten minutes, but every other couple of hundred confirmations have been normal. I did remember a transaction that took an hour ,but I think it was only 10 cents was showing my girl how to transfer btc from a wallet. I think the amount was too low for a miner to mine it or something.
I wouldn't pay 0.001 as a miner fee, thats pretty mental and no need. It appears that mycelium wallets normal transaction fee is 0.00005543, or thats what it cost me for the last transaction i did and although it was slow this time usually its fine.
I always pay more than the standard fee to avoid experiencing problems like those documented above.
If you can afford it just pay 0.001 bitcoin on each transaction, usually gets confirmed in the very next block then.
Simple.
0.001 is way too much. 0.0002 should be more than enough if you're looking for a simple number. https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/ is a good site to check out how congested Bitcoin transactions are at a glance.

I paid the standard fee for a transaction today and i never timed it but it was a lot slower than any ive had in the past. Im not too sure but possibly over an hour. maybe theres a lot of transactions happening today due to price increase?

Yeah it was set at slowest, which says will confirm in 25 blocks, which is about 4 hours 
In future, you could drag it to the right if you need the payment done urgent.
Another good place to check is https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/
Look at the right for Fee/size to see what the market is currently paying, pay slightly more for faster confirmation or less if you can wait.

And you had it set to fastest setting?
Didn't even know there was settings. But everything is default.
And you had it set to fastest setting?
What wallet are you using? Seems as if the auto fee function could use some tuning.
Bitcoin client 0.11.2 x64

That's nuts. I enabled the check box to auto take fee.

You have to wait a bit so its ready. It shows a small text when its not. On the fastest setting it usually takes the longest to get ready for me so I typically go for 2-5 blocks.

It was basically a case of bad luck in that blocks were being found slower than 10 minutes, causing a backlog.
If you look at the last portion (BXXXXX), your fees/byte were lower than all the others that got included, so miners picked more urgent transactions instead of yours.

Yea, only took 4 hours! Sitting here I hear my hdd go nuts I check btc client, bam it sent.
Why are transactions taking so long?
Scared the life out of me.

Read the part on the bottom : https://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/02/28/moving-bitcoins-works-transaction-taking-long/
Personally I always get my transactions in like 10-20mn , I once got it after 40 minute & It had something to do with the double spend attack or something like that .
I paid a fee, so I dunno why it was so long :/. Uh well, no biggie. I just never seen one take 4 hours exactly before. I've done 297 transactions by my wallet count, I've never seen it more than hour and half.
Thanks for the link!

Right place to ask this?
I've been waiting an hour and ten minutes for a transaction to go through, still sitting unconfirmed.
