We need more options like that. ViaBTC refuses transaction acceleration request sometimes. One of my friend use this ViaBTC service ad he told, 'its too expensive' club and why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it and also he suggested to give a try to feebooster jar executable on github.

ViaBTC is totally free as far as I know, It's always working but they have an hourly limit of 100 transactions per hour so If you can't submit, you should comeback later to try again.

I know that most of you know that ViaBTC are offering a service to accelerate transactions and everyone seem to send transaction with low fees and use it to make things faster.
I was checking btc.com blockexplorer until I saw an option to accelerate transaction which probably got added recently, I thought I should share it with you.

Unlike ViaBTC though, the service is not free but It's really nothing much when you need to speed up a transaction urgently: https://pushtx.btc.com/

"Cooperating with main Bitcoin pools, we provide transaction accelerator service, which can make the probability of confirming transaction within 1 hour come up to 75% and 98% within 4 hours."

I tried to use sites which were similar to one at the Google but still didn't find any a good think to accelerate the Bitcoin transaction in case of the unconfirmation .
Here you BTC.com , can I ask that how did it worked because I don't understand at all to use to use .
From some recent weeks I am facing the problem of unconfirmation but didn't get a better solution .
Here I remembered that in this forum There was one post for the Bitcoin transaction accelerate where it was mentioned that to contact quickseller but due to negative with positive trust I was doubt about to contact or not Roll Eyes

You insert your transaction and then click 'ESTIMATE PRICE', then you can pay with your VISA card so you can spend your bitcoin, the irony is unbelievable...

I did it and there was nothing, but now I see

They don't expect that users who know how to calculate fee will use this service. For sure they expect that they will earn on people mistakes. If someone will need realize transaction fast, and it will be important for him, will pay any amount to do this.. Especially for international deals, or between companies.

They are taking advantage of the situation to get the maximum bitcoin of desperate people who want their transactions to be confirmed with the utmost urgency

...but the truth is that ViaBTC is overloaded and people are looking for other possibilities.

The service has become very popular and now there are many people using this service and is overloaded

We need more such option because when it comes to transaction backlog, even ViaBTC refuses transaction acceleration requests sometimes in that period. However, I am also joining the 'it's too expensive' club because why would someone pay this amount to accelerate the transaction if he can include it in the miner fees itself rather than paying it to confirm it.

I see. Almost every web wallet is including appropriate fees with each transaction according to the network load. On a corporate level, this service might prove very beneficial to push the things faster speed. Otherwise, for normal bitcoin users, $5 fees are insane in usual conditions. However, these kind of extra efforts to confirm the transaction are not something that we should be proud of as a bitcoin community.

Of course we can not be proud of that! In my opinion it is like a shot in the back. After all, the philosophy of Bitcoin is against any instruments used by the banks! The worst part is that behind this is btc.com domain - so it is someone from our community! I am even more afraid of what will be their next step to harm BTC.

I am of the opinion that we as a community should come forward with the uniform and strong stand to deal with such issues. It's not going to work well for us if we are just thinking about our own scenario on the individual level. Fortunately, I see a very good potential of the communities like bitcointalk in bitcoin sphere in order to build impact.

Well I don't really know about the site. However I think everyone has heard about viabtc accelerator, and pretty sure(at least based off my experience with the site) if you can make sure you get in there quick every hour you can do it for free.

Now this site is charging you a fee to do it. Which I think makes it less desirable to use.

Just put more fees in the first place if you are concerned about your transaction not confirming. You'll pay less fees overall and save time that ways.

If you accelerate a transaction within the first 10 minutes of every hour, it's a very good chance that you can get it.

So it is every full hour.. Thanks for info, I was not sure when they restart this 100 limit.

I would prefer it to be totally free as is the case with the accelerator that viabtc is offering, but this tool can come very handy if a withdrawal from an exchange takes ages to confirm while you need it to confirm quickly.

I however find it utterly strange that they require you to pay with a centralized nutter service as Visa. Bitcoin should be the only payment option. I honestly can't stop laughing at how amateurish they set everything up.

Replace that centralized nutter service completely to make place for Bitcoin. What a joke, seriously.

They are asking too much, i have found this Bitcoin Fee booster https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-transaction-fee-booster-1506632
But this tool doesn't look like easy to setup.

Well of course it only boosts the fees and such so it isn't much good unless you're trying to do RBF. BTC.com's tool is way too expensive and really it'd be cheaper to just wait until the top of an hour and try to get your tx in on viabtc's tx accelerator.

I was looking for an alternate txn accelerator besides viabtc lat night and saw btc.com but thy are right. It's way too overpriced and I am not paying $5 to get a $20 worth btc in my transaction to get confirmed. I'll still be using viabtc.

BTC.com's accelerator is so overpriced. I took this transaction, which is 361 bytes and pays a 75 satoshi/kb fee, and BTC.com asks for $4.42 just to accelerate it, which I find it hard to believe that anyone would be willing. If you are willing to pay $5 to accelerate a transaction, why not just spend a bit more on fees so you don't need to pay the $5? I wonder what BTC.com was thinking with this.

Because you were not the one creating the transaction...

Plus, it has to be expensive, there are a lot of fees to be paid from those $5.

Am i the only one think that this is example of centralization, since they offer paid service to let users got their transaction confirmed (similar sidechain/LN) and pay it with centralized payment service Huh

Better use ViaBTC service, increase fees when make transaction or re-broadcast the unconfirmed transaction.

Quote from: Frosxh on March 07, 2017, 04:23:38 AM

i think it depends, but the other day i wanted to try their service for my .005btc transaction and they did ask me for $6+ so i didn't tried it and I'm not sure if my transaction will be confirmed in the very next block since they claim they are cooperating with other pools

That being said, It seems that the fee is really high. Almost the same amount with the btc that you're sending. I think it's not worth it (just my opinion though). Quite helpful if you really really have an urgent transaction to make, but if not, I'd rather wait.

I almost used this service today, but seeing Visa as option I said "No". I agree with you
saying that you just have to wait if the transaction you are expecting is not urgent.
I guess we all know why this is happening, but spending more just to get your transaction
confirmed doesn't sounds good to me. IHMO. So I went on the next best option which
is viabtc and in about 2 hr my transaction got confirmed. So I guess you need a little patience
and just wait for your transaction to be confirmed.
