Im assuming OP meant the blockchain wallet. I use both blockchain and bitcoin core wallet and it seems the only thing that makes any difference on confirmation speed is the transaction fee. Usually 100k fee will do it for me (within 10 minutes for confirmation most of the time) but 50k for when im low on bitcoin (20 min to hour average).

50k should be a reasonable fee to pay for the each transaction. I do pay around same range but if my amount is more than 0.5BTC than I will increase more towards 100k. But most of my small transactions I usually use my XAPO account and until now there was no fees and used to get confirmations quite fast.

I think it is not blockchain.info's fault ,they have all the tools needed for you
to adjust the fees according to the situation blockchain is in
they have dynamic fees and you can always click detailed info and choose the fee yourself
the problem is that they are one of the most popular online wallets out there
and I don't want to generalise,but it seems that the users with core or standalone desktop,mobile/hardware wallets
are more experienced in terms of mempools,fees and bitcoin in general so there are less chances of them to send a 1.2 kb tx with 20.000 satoshi fee
and then whine half a day to support because they have been waiting for too long

the number of support tickets some of the owners have regarding .info wallet is in direct ratio with the popularity of the wallet
I bet that at least 50% of online gamblers are using it to satisfy their day to day gambling needs

You shouldn't be using bc.i regardless unless it's for small amounts of money. It's jist a matter of time until they scam or get hacked imo. Any online wallet is a danger.

I'm not a regular blockchain user but I have no ideas why bc will turn to a scam as they are gaining nice profit everyday. This discussion is focusing on fee which make the transaction takes too long time to get confirmed. As I experienced using blockchain to send some transactions, I need to make a custom higher fee to get faster confirmation but if I follow the recommended fee then I need wait longer time. I think their recommended/default fee is under the standard fees.

Their standard fee gets me confirmed within 20 minutes before. There are just too many unconfirmed transactions lately that we need higher fees to get it confirmed faster. Made that mistake last week when I transferred bitcoin from blockchain.info to another wallet. I used the standard fee and I waited for more than half a day.

Since more and more people are using bitcoins and confirmation becoming slower. It is always good to pay a slightly extra fee to get confirm faster instead of waiting for days. I usually pay around 50K to 60K Santoshi for my transaction and get approved much faster.

I don't think its a Blockchain.info issue. I remember in the past, they used a very small miner fee for all withdraws. I think it was 10000 Sats or so, and then people started complaining so they raised the default fee to match the industry average to get it approved within 1 hour or so. And there is also the option of manually modding your miner fee if you think its not large enough.

I think they get their API data from bitcoinfees by 21 which is pretty accurate in determining which fees confirms the fastest.

If the mempool is greater than 20m, then increase the fee. https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size

I don't understand how this has anything to do with Blockchain.info ? I mean Its the miners who are responsible for confirming the transaction based on the fees you use , If you don't pay enough your transaction will clearly not get confirmed regardless of the wallet used and In addiction that , the website where you deposit can't know from where the funds are coming since the addresses are unique.

They don't give enough of a fee most of the time.

But I have noticed that they often choose a higher fees for the transaction no matter the transaction is higher or longer the fees is a good with faster speed. I often deposit to some sites from blockchain and I do not face any issue in paying from blockchain.info but I often feel it as a faster deposit than from other web wallet. The transaction often occur within less than a minute. I mean the first confirmation which occur in less than a minute for me.

Guys, dogedigital is not saying that Blockchain as an entity is the issue. The issue is that Blockchain's default fee (which is what almost ever user uses, very few set custom fees) is far to low for fast confirmations. A lot of gamblers wrongfully then complain to the casino (as Ryan mentioned), when the issue is that they did not pay high enough miner fees.

People should refrain from using bitcoin if they want smooth transactions, there's no particular wallet that will speed up your transaction confirmation, the only thing that can help you is beating everyone else in the fee game.

It's their standard fee amount, happened to me a few weeks ago. I had to wait about 6 hours for 1 confirmation when sending 1.5 bitcoin from blockchain.info to a paper wallet. You must use a higher fee than the set fee blockchain.info use.

I understand that you can put in custom fees and the fault is not entirely on blockchain.info, but many many users just use the easiest send method and run into troubles with it when it doesn't perform how they expect.

By the way, this is a very useful site for everyone for fees (https://bitcoinfees.21.co)

This goes for depositing to any gaming site.

Many users are experiencing long confirmations and are left to wait extended periods of times when using Blockchain.info.

This has been killing me as of late! No idea what to put in for tx fees...

as a legendary member who has been around for a couple of years you have to already know that it is not blockchain.info's fault that confirmations are taking too long but the fact that people include smaller fees in their transactions than they should based on the fact that fees have gone up a lot. and also the fact that blocks are full and there are lots of transactions waiting in queue!

and in blockchain.info you can easily click on button (i think it is called more or detailed transaction) and set the fees manually yourself. and the fees that site suggests is not that far off or that different from using other wallets. you can however click that easily and increase the amount by a little. for example if it suggested 32000 satoshi increase it to 35000 satoshi.

again this is what's going to happen with all wallets not just blockchain.info even if you use core and include lower fees it will take more time.

Blockchain.info is not ideal, but they use dynamic fees which for the most part should be fine.
It is hardly their fault we are having this 'war fee' now and standard 0.0001 fee which was totally acceptable year ago is not gonna confirm your tx even after 10 hours.
Thanks greedy miners and bitcoin community which can't find a way to end scaling debate for that rather than blame wallets.

I have to agree with you total on the i wouldn't call it a debate , its more bickering and people trying to serve there own purpose , i use blockchain.info and yep always manually put in a higher fee , have no dramas , maybe they should have dynamic fees but with a base amount !!

No, nowadays transactions are very slow, not because of blockchain.info, and not because of spam, I read bitcoin discussion section, people said 1MB is not enough, we need 2MB asap, otherwise we have to enjoy the damn slow speed.

If transactions are very slow then there would be less unconfirmed transactions.waiting to be mined. 1mb should be fine imo just double/triple your fee if you really want a fast confirmation time.

agree with you.
wait 2 days... Shocked

Wallet provider is not important, what important is how much fee is paid per byte. Even you are using blockchain.info wallet but if you pay fees that is high enough to get prioritized by the miners your transaction will get confirmed in few blocks.
