Topic: Bitcoin confirmations times are taking over 4 EFFING HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - page 6. (Read 9471 times)

I sold someone some bitcoins last night. From my phone to his it took about 15 seconds before the transaction went through.

I think I smell something....

Yeah, I smell bullshit Wink

Oh, wait, you mean the transaction went through.....
When did the 1st confirmation come through?

Confirmation did not matter. We met through localbitcoins. I have a 100% reputation with over 50 trades. For me to reverse the transaction on someone and sacrifice that reputation would be stupid.

Even when I sold a rather large amount of bitcoins to someone they were ok with just the transaction going through. We had traded before and we both understand that we want to continue trading in the future for our own mutual benefit.

Are you trying to be funny or on you on LSD?

Neither.
Are you?

What do you find funny about my comment?
Or that makes you think I am on LSD <- isn't LSD a hallucinogenic drug btw?
If I was in such a state of mind then how would I know about confirmation times and how much they matter?

The questions is: Are you???

oP needs to learn more before going all ape shit.

If you include no transaction fee you can expect to have longer than normal delays.

Sorry but confirmation is what makes things rock solid.
In fact 2 confirmations minimum IMO.

Anyone working with 0 confirmations is prone to get ripped off.

Blocks are not taking 4 hours, and absolutely nothing is wrong with the network. The problem is the fact that your payment spends funds from an unconfirmed transaction that remains unconfirmed because no transaction fee was paid. The second transaction transaction cannot be confirmed until the first one is, and the first one may be delayed indefinitely. Either your wallet software is incompetently designed (in which case you should report this incident to the developers of said software) or you have deliberately created an illegitimate transaction chain for whatever reason.

Licking my boob since 1970

This is the second time in 2 days I've moved money and it's taken over 4 FUCKNG HOURS. .0001 BTC Fee. Pardon my french BUT WHAT IN THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE GODDAMN NETWORK that this is occuring? A fucking 300 baud modem could move data faster than this.

This is total unacccepptable epic bullshit on every level. You think bitcoin will go to 0 cents in the future? Well keep up this bullshit.

May I suggest you take up a hobby more suited to your intelligence level? Perhaps knitting? Undecided

This is nothing but a collossal embarrasment to the entire bitcoin community. I ready to just sell everything. This thing has no future if the community can't even acknowledge what a show stopper problem this is, much less fix it.

Bitcoin is not a community. It is a technology. It works with or without the community acknowledging anything.

I was responding to an implication of BS.

Why does confirmation matter in your case OP?

It happens sometimes, no body can control this. We know it's annoying but there isn't any solution to this. I never experienced this much delay. Can you show the block which took 4 hours?

WE are over 4 hours now. WHat an epic fucking joke this is. Try explaining this to a laymen and they'll laugh you right out of the room.

Who exactly are you shouting at, or complaining to? You do know that no one can change that your confirmations are taking so long don't you?

Maybe increase the transaction fee, or you have just been unlucky a couple of times in a row. It isn't really a big issue when you try to spend them, but for moving BTC to exchanges or other wallets I see that it is annoying.

I'm yelling at the communicty. This is an unacceptable currency if it takes 4 hours to make legitimize a purchase. Put resources on fixing this. As as far as I can tell this it bitcoins biggest threat to widepread option.

There's nothing we can do but you should post the transaction id. I've never had a problem with stuck transactions though I'm not saying people can't get unlucky but you're coming across pretty trollish at the moment.
