I recently tried sending btc with small fee of like under 25 cents with electrum because i read transactions are fast now and because it showed within 5 blocks. How long does it take for 5 blocks for btc to be sent from electrum to another site if it say within 5 blocks?

Within 6 blocks is 60 mins according to https://estimatefee.com but it's just an estimate, it could be faster or longer than that.

Also does viabtc accelerator work now for it and if so, can i do this anytime since i assume most ppl do not use it?

Yes most likely but there's no assurance that every tries will be accepted regardless of the time entered, at any rate you can just try in another hour if it fails.

Also is it the first link that shows up when you type in on google such as it looks like

pool.viabtc.com/tools/....

yes it's https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Hello guys, happy VD.....
What I want to ask now is that since bitcoin tx fees are really low, is viabtc tx accelerator still spammed? I am a little bit lazy to check it (don't have a time to watch XX:00). If anyone tried it today or these days, will I be able to accelerate transactions without being ultrafast in milliseconds? In past it was even imppossible.

Viabtc's tx accelerator is for stuck transactions but now that there's hardly anything on the mempool, transactions (even a 1 sat/byte) are getting confirmed pretty fast which is why it's safe to conclude that there's hardly anyone who uses viabtc's tx accelerator right now. (You probably don't need any accelerator right now)

To prove this, I picked up a random unconfirmed transaction here: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions,
then submitted it on viabtc at exactly 04:30 and as expected it got accepted.

As I can see they charge for it now? Damn, that sux.

They don't charge for it. If you want, or more precisely said, if you manage to include your transaction within the first few seconds of each round hour (which is insanely difficult due to cheaters with scripts and whatnot), you'll still be able to enjoy free accelerations. As optional feature they offer a paid transaction acceleration service that will allow you to enjoy more features. However, they seem to only accept payments for their accelerator in BCH, which is quite ridiculous. It's basically the same idiotic move as the paid accelerator from btc-dot-com -- they accept BCH or payment through centralized fiat services.

I think it was really working when I used it almost a year ago.
But not sure about now. Since, I only use eth atm. As I can see they charge for it now? Damn, that sux.

I am always wondering, when the members, who offer free accelerations with donation in service section get negative trusts, because they are accused to use free accelerators. I tried without luck several times on ViaBtc and other services. The sites of other suggested services disabled free accelerators and led me to paid accelerators and ViaBTC showed me every time the same message.

Does it work at the moment?

Yes it is and since the mempool is no longer congested, a lot of people no longer have to use it which is why you can still enter your transaction hash even if it's not exactly XX:00:00 (I just entered one at XX:04 and it was accepted).

Fee's are also way cheaper now compared on december or so when the mempool is still congested.

sorry, I also do not quite understand this,
but if we are not sure better not use this service

Seems like you're not familiar with viabtc... It's a mining pool and they have this service that will let you include your transaction in the next block they mine.
A lot of people have already used this but the problem is when there is too much people using it causing the service not to work or decrease your chance getting your transaction inlcuded in their queue which actually happened in the last few months.

For now such service wont really be needed because this site is only used on pushing up transactions but only on times where the network is congested and also using it now is not totally needed because we do have low fees and do have faster confirmation as of now which we wont really bother to look after on this things for now but this would be useful when the network being jammed again(hopefully not).

has it stopped working again? Can someone confirm?

Yes, I did a test using a confirmed transaction and they still gave me the "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." message, even though they used to give "Transaction already confirmed" message for such transactions. Then I tried clicking the Paid service button (I have an account there) and this time, it gave the "Transaction already confirmed" message.

So it's safe to say, ViaBTC's free transaction accelerator is indeed switched "OFF" for the time being. Whenever someone has similar results, just stop bothering trying their free services (their paid services are working though).

And one more thing...I like your status, "Location:In front of you" Kiss

its true though lol

Guys I think its only working properly if you are a registered pool user and you have credits to add a tx. You only get a limited amount of such as far as I understand. Hemali helped me out for a nice little tip though so maybe he can help you out too... Cool

If I created an online service that charged a fixed small sum to include your btc transaction in next block and then mined btc myself, wouldnt it in theory be possible for me to get all and everyone to set the fee really low and then pay me the fixed small sum to have the transaction included in the next block rather then setting a high fee to have a random miner include it maybe and when they want to?

Hi Dent...It's added. You can verify this @https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/..it will show confirmed over there...But will be mined in the Block mined by ViaBtc. Unable to reply in msg as already over 15 per day. Happy New Year!!!

Hemali

Yes! I see that it says Transaction has been confirmed on viabtc now, so awesome

I will let you know when it has been confirmed on the blockchain so that I can send you something Wink

Happy new year!

Thank you!

Happy to Help!!!

It is confirmed, see PM

Replied to your PM.
