what is the minimum and maximum duration for the transaction?

There is no minimum and maximum. However, you can take 10 minutes as minimum but it is not really true in all cases.

thanks for the answers. yep finally my transaction was confirmed. there were a lot of blocks with just a few transactions, before the one in which my transaction was confirmated, so to me it looks like a waste of time to wait so much.

This is essentially what it boils down to. Either you want the transaction confirmed fast and pay a fee or you have a bit of time or do not care if it takes longer and can get it confirmed without paying a fee if other conditions are met.
I tought bitcoin protocol allowed to send transactions basically free but apparently miners don't allow that.
There is always such confusion around transactions fees

You can send a zero-fee transaction but it will take some time to get confirmation. Some miners don't add transactions which have less than recommeded fee but most miners add all transactions but give priority to transactions with recommended fees.

Thanks for the answer but that's not the reason
It was created 2015-04-07 22:08:00 and now it s 2015-04-08 01:38:55
So 3 hours and half have passed

And your transaction is confirmed in block 351193, 242 minutes after creation. Smiley

From my personal experience, 0 fee transaction will take quite some time (up to a few hours) to get confirmed even when it satisfies all the 3 conditions. If you need it to go through fast, it is better to include a transaction fee.

Yes, they take time. The reason behind this is that there is only 50KByte per block for transactions without a fee by default. Thus you are not competing for a spot within the full 1MB of a block, but for a much smaller space.

can someone please explain me why this transaction has not be confirmed yet? https://blockchain.info/tx/946cacddf93116e4511fd5a47ab01bdb9e68679cd6a11de794fad126af3d3ec0
even if it has 0 fees:

It is smaller than 1,000 bytes.
All outputs are 0.01 BTC or larger.
Its priority is large enough (411159279*69/225)

thanks

Probably because it looks like there has only been one block (maybe 2) since it was created.

It has been nearly 45 minutes since the last block.

I was just going to ask about this because I'm getting a lot of those type of messages in my error log as well transaction already spent? I just sent some money in exchange for paypal, and I don't want to come across as untrustworthy, I'm keeping in contact with the seller but I really want to know if there's some way to fix this? I feel really bad that this isn't work out faster or better for me and him but I have no idea why it's not working faster.

For reference I have the 64 bit bitcoin-qt and I'm on semi slow internet. It wasn't a large amount (about 50 bucks worth) so it really shouldn't take this long right? I sent it over an hour or so ago, it should have at least one confirmed but it's not.

  • Do nothing, it should confirm itself within a week.
A week? Seriously???
Within a week. I stated this because confirmation time varies wildly. Don't want people getting upset their transaction didn't get confirmed within the average confirmation time. Worst case scenario IMO is a 0 fee transaction that normally would require a fee. Last time I sent such a transaction, it was confirmed overnight.

that's more like it, a week is really too long for me.

It isnt, but according to the link you paid no fee. This usually leads to your TX waiting for a long time till a miner finally takes a heart* and confirmes it.

* thats not techincally acurate.

it's already confirmed after renewing the QT.

Well ok,

I've had two transaction unconfirmed (sent by blockchain), definitely don't have any HD space nor connexion allowing me to install btc qt, etc...

https://blockchain.info/fr/tx/da08920045d17cbb983bd4079760ef5446a717fc8742d4128a3319e3048d4957

I promise a bounty to whoever manages to help me -help hem go through?- with that (0.016 or so...).

One already got 6 confirmations but the other will take some time. It is stated that it has medium priority. So Wait for 1 day, it will be done, IMO.

Kindly,

One thing that worked for me is spending the change from my no-fee transaction with a fee high enough to cover both. It still took longer than usual but they were both confirmed within an hour or two.

I couldn't understand what is your problem. I saw your photos but still confusing.
Can't you send btc to other address? Is that your problem? Can you explain?

Kindly,
