I had a friend send me 100$ btc and it's been over an hour and it's still 0/3 confirmation. I normally get them instantly or 30 minutes tops. Is their an issue?

Its Not Possible to Predict that How Much a Transaction needs time to be confirmed, There May Be Two Reasons Behind this:-
1) If the Sender Pay Low Fees then the Transaction Needs More Time To Confirm Sometimes it takes 24-48 Hours to Confirmed.....
2) Or If the Bitcoin Network is Slow then its Not Possible that the Transaction Will Confirmed Faster.......

It depends on the confirmations on the block chain! There are times that it will only takes around five minutes or less and there are also times that it will takes a few days before you can receive it on your bitcoin wallet.

That's right, it actually depend on fees you pay for a transaction but sometimes even if you pay the minimum required fees you transaction still does not take much time and sometimes even after paying more fees than normal makes it confirmed after a long time, so it happens in bitcoin network quite often these days because of the load maybe.

At times it could be slow internet network which can delay the transaction also at times the blockchsin network could be too busy,a lot of traffic with s little you will get the money

Bitcoin transactions are Mainly Confirmed Within 20-60 Minutes But If Your Transaction is Taking More time then There May Be the Following Reasons:-
1) If You Pay Low Feeds For the Transaction then it Needs More time to Confirm Your Transaction.......
2) Or If the Bitcoin Network is Weak Then Your Transaction Becomes Slower.......

Actually the bitcoin transactions can be faster if you don't mind to additional the transactions fees. But sometimes the confirmation of transactions is long time enough and we should wait it patiently.

Sometimes it takes long to receive your bitcoin and I think by now you have received your coins. Even if it took 1 week the longest I experience always remember that it will arrive. It will always arrive and just trust blockchain. The speed of the transaction is dependent on the fees included to it and of course the current state of the blockchain and hashing power of miners.

Even more delay has happened with me couple of times in recieving even 1 confirmation for my bitcoin transaction.I think upto 12-16 hours i have waited once getting 1 confirmation but you doesnt need to worry about it,it only happens sometimes and should get confirmed at some time.

Few months ago happens that someone send transfer without fee and transaction was waiting 3 days in queue.. after three days come back to the wallet.

Standard fee is 10k satoshi. If someone want be sure that transaction will be realised faster is better to pay more than 10k satoshi fee..

Its just a commonsense thing that we should pay even more satoshi in able to transfer a way more faster rather than putting up only a small amount. This case may really depend on the user, if hes on the rush on transferring the bitcoin then he should add up transaction fee in able for bitcoin transfers would be fasten and if hes not on the rush then any fee would do. There are really times that confirmations would really be long .

Mainly The Speed Of Transaction Depends Upon Two Factors:-
1) If the Sender Pay Low Fees than the Recommend Fee then Also the transaction Will be Slower....
3) Or if the Bitcoin Network is Not Strong then It Takes Time For Confirming Transaction......

This kind of transactions times are just normal regarding on transfering funds to another wallet because it depends on the fee you put on on transferring the funds the smaller the longer of waiting times the bigger the fee the fast of transaction would it be.

Yes, it is common, the number of transactions is way above capacity, long confirmation time is an inevitability.

You can use off-chain services, like Coinbase or Xapo, or other currencies like litecoin, if you need fast transactions.

Anyone? It's been 3hrs and no coins. On block chain it says 0/6 and on Paxful it says 0/3

Where is this txid everyone is asking for, for my help? Huh

Is most likely your transaction fees paid less So make your trading was delayed

But don't worry, as long as there is plenty of time Your trading will receive finally

one day i send 30$ of btc to a friend from blockchain to zebpay . buy even after 1 hour he said that he didn't not received but when i see the transaction there was nothing at blockchain also but after 3 hours the payment get done successfully by receive the sms .
so i think you should wait . may be another problem also so i will suggest you to contact to support of bitcoin wallet from which you send .

In most cases of your transaction not "hitting" the blockchain comes either due to your client not being up to date with downloading the latest blocks, or that the node from the explorer that you used simply "ignores" your transaction. That's why you should look at various block explorers.

blockr.io
blocktrail.com

These are great explorers that you can use when blockchain.info freaks out, and in the times it doesn't show your transactions.

actually here the problem is very complicated from all simple transaction from wallet to wallet or other wallet . so i think no one can help him here , so i will advice him take technical support from.the blockchain soon . because the time that has been spent by him is enough to confirm one confirmation

I had never experienced dealay of more than 10 minutes. Almost instantly i had transferred bitcoin many times especially while bugging online goods i don't have much patience so i count the seconds and it never turned to more than 3 to 4 minutes. So regarding goopy situation, it is taking lot of time because May be he had given less transaction fees or could be delay due to large que.

in the transaction some time take 24 hour as was happened in my case when block of blockchain was not working ( temporarily ) .
but it also depend whether you send brc from one wallet to another .
i mean if you will send from blockchain to zebpay then it will take more time then the simple time take at blockchain .

That is not an issue. Do not worry you will recieve your bitcoin for sure. I am agree that may be the block of bloackchain was not working temporary. Or it is just so many people was send or make transaction with bitcoin in the same time. So it is like so any people have to stand in line to make the transaction done. I ever done my bitcoin transaction in 24 for hour too but I also ever done my bitcoin transaction in less that 1 second.
