They cannot automate that with a script - that's what the captcha's for.
Also tried on the hour and no luck again.

That's a transaction a customer sent to me - it wasn't me that sent it.
I know the 100-per-hour transaction limit of ViaBTC fills up very quickly - I have tried like 10 times already, ALWAYS on the hour, ALWAYS in the very first second of a new hour ( I have made sure my clock is synced properly ) and I literally watch the clock hit the 12 mark and press "Accelerate" - always getting the "Submissions are beyond limit" bullshit.
Never had that happen before, and I've used them numerous times. Yes, if I am like 5 seconds late, it's already filled, but that's normal, I guess.

I also try yesterday few times and it is not working no matter how accurate I try to be in submiting transaction.So maybe they temporarily shut down free accelerator or someone found the way to take advantage of all the possible accelerations available every hour,maybe with some script or something like that.
Considering how big problems users have with high fees and stucked transaction,for some users such service become a lucrative business.
I tried. Was unsuccessful. Hopefully you had more success.
Note that if you are a viaBTC customer, you get the ability to accelerate transactions a number of times with no limit on the number of accelerations per hour. It's pretty expensive, so it generally isn't a worthwhile solution unless the transaction you are trying to accelerate is a LOT of money.
I think they give you 5 accelerations for every "mining contract" you buy directly from them on their "cloud mining" service. 1 BTC contract currently costs about 0.1103 BTC, so the 5 accelerations would cost you about 0.02206 BTC each. In theory, over time, that cloud mining contract would earn you back a portion of the 0.1103 BTC that you spent, so the effective cost would be a bit less.
I tend to assume that most cloud mining is just a scam, so I would never purchase a viaBTC contract with the intention to profit from cloud mining, but I have purchased a contract from them in the past when the contracts were a bit cheaper and I really needed to accelerate a transaction. Back then the contract only cost 0.097, and I have since "earned" back 0.055 BTC from "cloud mining". So the effective cost of the 5 accelerations turned out to be 0.0084 BTC each.

Appreciate it - TX ID is 2727e9d1517770c0e6a616cbff5544251559b10924b329a14a90a1f2fac61ed0
I will try your approach in about half an hour
Send me the txid, and I'll try at the top of this hour as well. That will double your chances of success.
Yeah, I've thought about that.
But it was never a problem before - so I assumed our clocks are synchronised in the same manner.
I will try your approach in about half an hour - the captcha is a bugger and I hope it doesn't trip me up, especially if it displays characters that are tough to recognize and quickly type up...
I don't get why this backlog of unconfirmed transactions keeps growing and growing - it's at almost 185k already. Seriously, WTF?
When is this junk with a huge unconfirmed backlog gonna be permanently fixed - lightning network and whatnot? This is getting ridiculous, geez...

What the fuck? Has anyone had any success using their service in the past day?
I have.
tried numerous times to accelerate my transaction, straight on the hour, in the very first second of a new hour - Submissions are beyond limit. Tried 10 more times - same bullshit.
I have used their service lots of times before, and there was never an issue as long as I did it straight in the first few seconds of a new hour.

It is possible that your system clock and their system clock are not set exactly the same. So, by the time you think it is "straight on the hour", their system might have already been accepting transactions for many seconds.
I have made sure my clock is synced properly
How do you know that your clock is synced to their clock?
When I'm trying to help someone out and accelerate their transaction for them, I typically start trying to use viaBTC about 3 or 4 minute before the hour. Then I repeated try over and over until it either succeeds or until it is 3 or 4 minutes after the hour. If I miss the window of opportunity (because I'm too slow entering the captcha), then I try again the next hour. I've never had it take more than 3 hours of trying before being successful.

Many people use it, so the 100 transactions per hour fill up very quickly.
You should avoid small transactions, your 0.00048874 BTC output for instance is smaller than the fee required to use it again. Basically, it's worthless dust at the moment.

For some reason ViaBTC's accelerator has not been working since I tried it yesterday - tried numerous times to accelerate my transaction, straight on the hour, in the very first second of a new hour - Submissions are beyond limit. Tried 10 more times - same bullshit.
