Topic: bitcoin transactions - Slow OR Fast - page 10. (Read 40467 times)
Well we could use third party bitcoin services if you don't want to wait. And it will take some time before bitcoin is used everywhere and for everything.
In my experience I can say that it's fast in overall, sometimes transactions are delayed but I see it normal since most of the time the network is busy due to huge number of transaction, but still I am satisfied since I can receive my money right where I needed it.
I just make sure I have to estimate to adjust wit the situation, my longest time of waiting is 24 hours.

I didn't get any earnings with bitcoins but my brother was showing me the bitcoin transactions so the time taken was 2-3 days and it was a shitty waiting time, so in future, we accept those bitcoin transactions may be fast and getting payments will be easy.
Right now it's moving at a very good pace... Last week was a different story.
It depends on how much transaction fees you are giving and apart from that if their is heavy transaction traffic on the blockchain network then the transaction gets delay in confirmation . If you have payed the correct transaction fees , then it will take very less time to get confirmation.
Yeah, there are already two choice. People who wants faster transaction can choose to pay higher fee. But customer always choose lowest fee cost. I hope bitcoin transaction can get faster, couse I think its still litle bit slow. 
Fast
Yeah its really too much fast transaction because we can send our bitcoin to anywhere in few second so i also say that bitcoin bitcoin transaction is much more better and faster than other currency and we can buy any thing with bitcoin easily in few second. Most of the time it is fast, the only time that it is slow is when there are too many transaction that is being process in the blockchain but I don't think that it should be called "slow" because it only takes 10-30 minutes to be processed. All we need is to be patient about this process in the blockchain because there are too many bitcoin users around the world, not just you.
Yeah it may depend on the load on network when a transaction takes more time than usual, but i personally never faced this problem at all, my transactions never took more than 30 to 40 minutes no matter how big or small they were.
well it's great for you because some of us experienced a very delayed transaction before including me it was 8 or maybe 9 months ago when I am about to received a certain amount of satoshi it took almost 1 hour and 30 minutes
but I am not bothered at least the process is ongoing there's nothing to worry about except if you need to rush lmao . it's like we only noticed the bad sides and never appreciates what good things has brought to you .
you are right mate and I'll prefer to receive my money late than to got it inexact with the amount that you are expecting to receive . delayed confirmations are just a problem when you are really rushing to get your money because you really need it . 
It will be better for the BTC transactions to become faster and I think that everyone will agree on that-it will be beneficial both for BTC and for us,the people who send and receive BTC.Right now there are some delays which blockchain experiences from time to time and this makes transactions even less faster,but there is another side of the coin which is related to the mining proccess and the validating part.
i think they will find a solution to make all the transactions fast. to save the costumers time..maybe in the futur but not now
It looks like bitcoin transactions are now faster than ever. Compared to a few days ago, now bitcoin transactions are already more smoothly and quickly, it looks like a problem at Blockchain has been solved.
Its not blockchain controlling the transactions its the bitcoin network and blockchain doesnt even have control to bitcoin network. it depends on the block found if you have more transaction fee the faster and lower the block confirmed like 1 if you have low transaction fee it would be at medium priority 1 - 6It depends on how much transaction fees you are giving and apart from that if their is heavy transaction traffic on the blockchain network then the transaction gets delay in confirmation .

is it possible that bitcoin will be accepted in local stores, shops etc. since transactions are to slow and customers have to wait until their transactions are verified. And nobody wants to wait.
Can transactions be seeded up to save customers time or any other way to use bitcoin at local stores.

Bitcoin transactions a quite slow for today standards but with the use of third party tools or services it shouldn't be a problem.
First of all if you are happy reliying on a third party to handle your money then why do you even use bitcoin?
Secondly there is nothing wrong with the speed of bitcoin transaction because you can't beat instant, sure you have to wait for 1 confirmation but as long as you have added the correct fee you won't have to wait more than a couple of hours and that's often the worst case scenario but still better than 3 to 5 business days.

I agree they do take too much time for this kind of transaction, and as suggested before, the use of third party can help in this but I don't think thats the final answer, it maybe a tool just for now but in future, they would have to quicken it up a lot more than it is currently so it will be used in local stores and shops.

the "problem" was a massive number of transaction at the time and not enough block size to include all of them. you can always check them at here https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions by that time there were more than 30-50K unconfirmed transactions filling up the mempool causing transactions with much higher fee to be confirmed faster.
and since that is solved things are back to normal but still problem exists but hidden.
More and more people are using Bitcoins each new day, it's normal the transactions become more slowly if people don't set higher fees on their transactions. If you don't want to increase the fees and have an average time transaction, wait for the best moment to do it (the moment with less transactions simultaneously).
Bitcoin transactions are getting faster gradually, the time of payment completion has decreased. Basically due to huge number of transactions and some other problems the speed is little bit slow, but its improving a lot. Payments are usually completed within couple minutes, rarely sometimes few hours.
