Whats the longest wait you've had for a transfer to go through. I used shapeshift late last night and it still hasn't come through. I just did another one and it went right through.
you are to be patient with the network this days as I experienced this same scenario about a week ago and my client get angry with me but finally after 24 hour my transactions went through. Because of the changes we are having due to price fluctuations especially the increased in price this day, transactions are very difficult to confirm, most of those using regular fees are having problem of confirmations. My friend also transfered fund to poloniex and it take about 2 days before he see the coins in his wallet.

Whats the longest wait you've had for a transfer to go through. I used shapeshift late last night and it still hasn't come through. I just did another one and it went right through.
I also had the same problem with shapeshift and it was taken action on the other day so I never did that again ahahaha .
My transaction usually takes me a half day. It's too long time. I think developers need to improve the system. 
Well so far i don’t experience any problem for now and i think the longest wait is 4hrs well it’s normal for me for a lower fees.
Well even 4 hours is not normal but as there have been a lot of problems in the past with the transaction confirmation time, sometimes it took even more than 48 hours that's why we think of the 5 to 8 hours as a normal time for transaction confirmation. In past this time used to be less than 30 minutes. It was a great time where the transaction used to confirm quick and transaction fee was very much low. Just a few cents. I waited long for more than 72 hours once for my transaction to confirm, it was some six to seven months earlier I guess.

I've also experienced the same thing, it took 6 hours to actually be sent, and it's very long, I do not know the cause of it is possible from the network or server from there.
It's possible that you have an error or a maintenance wallet. As usual, I transferred only an average of 30 minutes to 1 hour is completed. At the time of maintenance you should not trade to avoid the risk to your account.

Roughly three days. It was from an exchange out to my blockchain wallet. I don't know what's going during that time but i've contacted support from both the exchange and blockchain and it seemed to be a general issue not only happening to me. Aside from that, i don't really have any serious delays with transfers both for deposit and withdrawal
My longest wait when I holding my altcoins is 6 months
I know it is very long time but because of my patience, I gained a lot of money. I can say that holding our coins can make more profit.
What? I am not quite sure you understood the OP's question. He is asking of transfer time of transaction, not holding a coin.
Anyway, my longest wait was a little over two days. I was still a noob and that was my first transfer experience. It was with Changelly. I needed to make doge transfer and it somehow got stuck. Later, I understood the fault was from me. Ever since then transactions with them have been very smooth sailing. OP, maybe there's something from your end that didn't go in well and that could cause the delay.

My first time experience of selling our ethereum to bitcoin transaction thru hitbtc was one to two days of waiting because the site is very busy processing of many transaction request which our request was completed just yesterday. I just hope after segwit2X it will reduce the processing time of every transaction or to make it instantly if possible

My longest wait is almost 48 hours then I decided to use Viabtc's transaction accelerator. It didn't work at first because whenever I try to enter the transaction ID there's a message that says limit has been reached for the number of transaction submitted or something like that. If its stuck with no confirmation use Viabtc's transaction accelerator. BTC.com also offers transaction accelerator but there's a fee and it depends on the number of bytes. Last night I tried to use it for a $200 transaction and BTC.com is asking for $22 fee for their transaction accelerator service.
if you transaction didn't go through, it might never will. Talk with the shapeshift support team (send them an email, they will ask you information such as the transaction id etc.) it happened to be once. The transaction didn't go through and after contacting them they looked into it and refunded my wallet. Customer support there is quite fast and helpful - you won't have a problem

So far i dont have any experience on this thing, the longest time i wait for my btc is around 4hrs, anyway before i transfer some fund i make sure that there is no problem on any exchanges so i will not encounter that.
Its been a long time for me to get my payment lately. Last time it was before three month, and that time i was using Zebpay app and i requested for withdrawal to my address. But i didn't got it, actually the problem was mine because i didn't gave the right address of that wallet and gave other address of other wallet.I was lucky that i shared my other wallet address to the third party otherwise my payment of $50 wouldn't have received in my bank account.
But later on i apologized to their team and then i got my problem solved by explaining them. So be alert and active while sharing your wallet address, double check it when doing big transactions.

As i can remember i have been also waiting for almost half day or 12 hours to confirm the transaction before, and the most sad part is that it was my first time using shapeshift, and then i am already in a total panic and starting to worried, it was my first impression, but it actually gone through it, besides there are so many good feed backs about it, so i just let it be. I think the problem too was not the blockchain but its about their system.
System upgradation was occurring that’s why people have to wait for the confirmation of their transactions and this was just for the sake of the investors new security algorithms are implemented that’s why system got slow but now things are on the right ride and there will be no future problems for the investors and this will be for service goodness.

The longest time I ever waited for a transaction to get completed was 2 hours. Never gone past that. However, since you said you made use of shapeshift, have you tried contacting them since it is already a day and the new one you just did went right through. There could be some mix up somewhere. However, if there is a challenge, there is a possibility of it coming back to the sending wallet.

Mine was more than 24 hours. But it went eventually through.
It also looks like many of us will be waiting longer if unconfirmed transactions do not go down, look here https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count
Someone is flooding the mempool again or we are witnessing abnormally high transactions, maybe because of Bitcoin's rally.
Well, that ends my longest wait. I wish it had gone through yesterday.. It would have made me a lot of Bitcoin! But better late than never.
Always try to use higher fee on your transaction when mempool is full of unconfirmed transactions like right now. I have waited for 24 hours max to get confirmation on my bitcoin transaction.
Even after paying a decent amount of transaction fee one time I waited for more than 12 hours to get back my money.
yes I agree even longer than that we have to wait. ya the solution we must remain patient only.
I guess I waited about 15 hours and it was sooooo long cuz I really needed money.

My longest transaction waiting is before the segwit , took me a 1 week of waiting, that time blockchain was so lag. After the segwit its only 1hr. Shapeshift took you a day to receive? I guess the problem is in their system not with the blockchain.

The blockchain never goes down unless and until the hard or soft fork is occurring because it's being deployed with new algorithm when that happens in first place. Then we can off course expect the transaction to be slowed down as miners won't be at work as the master is sleeping. ;-)
Anyway for the shapeshifter problem I believe it's just the fees or may be it could be just shapeshifter itself. That doesn't look big problems and that could happen once in while. You should create the support ticket if the problems not solved yet.

I did not experience a very long waiting for confirmation in terms of transferring altcoins. I think when the SegWit2x was implemented early August when I think it was poloniex that implemented 40 confirmations before the transfer will finally take place, I waiter for several hours but it was not overnight.

In my wallet where the block confirmation took 5 days before it accept i think i will no longer get the money because im still wiaiting for that tho i get it un 5and half day this ii grt beczuse of the reason from the market.

try to make transaction through blockchain, you will not have to wait for such a long time, blockchain make transactions easily and use less time because it is connected with system that will be easily break the codes and transfer coins. 
At the most, maybe an hour.
Well, that ends my longest wait. I wish it had gone through yesterday.. It would have made me a lot of Bitcoin! But better late than never.
I really think this is a way back issue back of many bitcoin users, because you would need higher transaction fee to make a faster conversion or transaction, either way you just really need to provide the fee needed and put some extra amount in there so the transaction would surely go straight through and no worries for this if you had the same experience as OP does.
Probably not more than a couple hours but then I haven't had many, as long as you can track it somewhere then at least you know it will arrive eventually. Now you know for the future not to try rush any transactions through with it
why would you lose it(faith) because of the shapeshift ?
at most i only need to wait it for around 2 hours but most of it was around a half hour.
it's all depend on the fees,if you're using it with low fees(below average) you will get it longer than other people.
because you will not be prioritized in the network.
look at here : https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
there will be 2 possibilities that can be happen :
it will go and it will not,
how about lose it ? no matter what,as long as you input a right address you will get it.
the transaction fee is probably the problem here, because if you use a fee above the average of 60 minutes is the time you need, if possible you really need it, you can try contacting the transaction acceleration service provider, it is one way out, and no need to worry because they provide this service for free at most i only need to wait it for around 2 hours but most of it was around a half hour.

I can no longer wait because im always.busy for my kids and all at btc.But sideline is good. Ive waited also for my salry.Even though I lost my salary because of a scammer.Now i've waited too long.But still I cotinue doing this because 6plus lost to me again.lts really hard to wait for so long.But its okey theres a price waiting for me.
Well I even had to wait for a day for my transaction to confirm because I had given the lowest fee available. The Time it takes for a transaction to confirm is completely on the fee you give. Well you can give the Lowest fee to transfer money within your accounts . Like from a generated account to your HD account. Those transactions are comparatively faster
I think the longest time I had to wait for a transaction was around 8 hours. I think I was new to a certain trading site, I forgot which one and it took forever to make a deposit on that site; probably it was because I used the lowest fee too.

It will go through eventually though right? I mean if its possible to lose my money I just lost a lot of faith in the system itself.
