Well, you have to understand the problems recently faced by bitcoins recently and one among them is surely the miners.

There are no 'problems recently faced'. Your statement is false. Unusual block intervals aren't something new.

The BTC network is just too congested (though people will deny this till they are blue in the face).

This is completely false as this is not the case.

Well, you have to understand the problems of block generations are not exact time gaped ~~recently faced by bitcoins recently and one among them is surely the miners~~ . But anyways you can always pay a higher fees and avoid any long delays to get quicker confirmations by getting our transactions to be included in to next generated block itself..

Bitcoin is much better than credit cards in many situations

Yes it is.

Quote from: Bit_Happy on April 20, 2016, 06:27:02 PM

but if a new block is required to confirm an "instant" transaction & that block can often take over 20 minutes, then don't you see possible issues?

Nope. As long as that fact is public information so that users that voluntarily choose to use it can make an educated decision.

Last block = Over 30 minutes!
No matter what you say about "my complaints", a 30 minute wait is way to long, wayyyyyyy tooooooooooooooo looooooooooooong, in many situations.

Then bitcoin shouldn't be used in those situations, but in most situations 30 minutes for a block wouldn't be a problem at all.

Hi all,
Based on past experience, I can predict the first one or 2 people to try to complain about this type of post, so F offf...
My first confirmation is taking way to Effing long!!!

This time, I gave more then the min. required fee, and the transaction still was ignored in a block with over 3,000 transactions.
I Love Bitcoin, but it has serious issues which need to be solved soon.

yes its a serious problem about bitcoin transaction,but i'm sure its rare happen,i'm also ever feel that,and its time for you to knowing that bitcoin is not perfect,sometime bitcoin will give you madness.

It's not really a serious problem. If your transaction has to confirm very quickly for whatever your reason might be, then simply include a fee of 0.0005 - 0.001 BTC and it will be included in the next to be mined block. It's the same with banks. You can use the normal way of sending money from one bank to the other, and you have the high priority way of sending money. It costs you money to do it while normal transactions are free, but the benefit is that the receiver will get the money much sooner.

It has become clear in the past few months that you cannot rely on the bitcoin network, specially if you want speed.

Until some scaling solution is adopted you should abstain from transact on the network.

Yup. I've taken to converting to doge to move things around. It's quick and low fees too. the BTC network is just too congested (though people will deny this till they are blue in the face).

@ OP
How much have you paid as fee/byte and how big was your transaction?
Maybe use a wallet with dynamic fees calculation instead of static?

Thats nothing to complain about, maybe the network is busy enough, everyone will get their transaction in a timely manner based on network distribution, so you and everyone else should patiently wait. Maximum I have ever waited for a confirmation is 24 minutes which is not a big amount of time.

Unless you are doing something illegal with Btc and you need lightning fast transactions.

So much complaining about a transaction, yet no link to the transaction itself. Get real, or gtfo.

My mempool is at ~1.2 GB and showing 40k unconfirmed transactions. However, keep in mind that most of this is spam:

As long as your fee is adequate you will be fine. Delay will only occur when there is unusual block timing.

Well, if anyone makes the same msitake in future (and I've forgot to include sufficient fees in the past also), the solution is here already: fee replacement. I think it only works on the command line right now, but that should provide incentive to those that don't normally use the command line IMO.

Bitcoin developers can't implement everything at once, it all takes some amount of time/effort, and time/coding-expertise are both limited. I guess the question is: how badly do people want an improved Bitcoin? Because if someone had started work on adding fee-replacement to the graphical interface, say about 12 months ago, this thread probably wouldn't exist. But Jonas Schnelli only really just started the job, so, there you go.

I must admit that I also recently had this.. Before it was always included in the first block to be mined, but this time it took till the third block to be included. In addition, blocks were being generated really slow (2x more than 30 minutes..) so it took forever.

This was probably the reason though, blocks filled up with people paying the same fee and I was just put in queue. Sucks, but it is the way it works.

Feels broken though, 3,000 transactions and not being included in the block when you pay a sufficient fee.

If a more experienced user like OP fails to calculate the appropriate fee for faster transaction confirmation, how would a newbie user be able to calculate this. Some wallet providers calculate this fee for the user, but a new user might not use these services. In this aspect I agree with OP, we should make this option more user friendly for the users, otherwise new users will think this is the norm and then turn their back on Bitcoin.

I can share his frustration, because I have made this mistake too, when I added a fee higher than required minimum fee and it still took longer than what I anticipated. ^hmmmm^

an automated fee set up should be really needed to make bitcoin users experience an easy & comfort feel when sending a bitcoin or make a transaction,i'm usually using blockchain.info's automated fee set up and everything's going fine

I also feel that Sometimes we have a very urgent necessity and slow confirmation of this. of course very annoying and disturbing right ? what should we do to resolve this?
