Topic: ViaBTC offers a nice service for very small transactions (Read 1749 times)

Any referral/affiliate link for me to sign up with viaBTC (Cloud Mining)? Feel free to PM me one. Thanks.

Yeah the thing is with a service like this, is that when it was first released it was done for the sake of convenience and to get a transaction done faster. The sad thing about it now is that its pretty much needed if you want to send a small transaction (Below $5) and don't want to spend 10 percent of the entire transaction on fees that you're forced to pay either way. I didn't think I'd ever see the day where the fees would ever hit this high.

This service got a little too popular and it's pretty much causing a race to whoever can get  the first 100 hundred in as quick as possible so there transaction will be confirmed!


Usually an hour or so, but it depends on when the next block is.

It depends on mined blocks. Which block after submiting it will be..? Probably that depends on fee, but it does not have to be like that (it more depends on luck, and on how many transactions was send in this moment). Usually that is second or third block, so we can say that it should be completed in 30 - 40 minutes (avarage), but can be 1 hour or even a bit more.. It also can be 10 minutes.

how long youre proces in confirmation use viabtc service
after you submit TX id and sending fee viabtc service, one hour or how long

There was option to manually add transaction to AntPool, but in last Saturday/Sunday they just remove this option from toolbar. I don't have idea why!?!?
Support is silent about that. The only proof I have is this picture:




*sorry for little off top

I know your post has been repeated too many times in the forum but it has to be stressed well enough to the noobs that cloudmining is already exposed as a form of ponzi scheme. The reason why there are lots of cloudmining sites popping up is because there are gullible people still buying those contracts.

Personally i don't believe that cloud mining could be profitable because mining difficulty will keep rising and your contract will stuck with same hardware you have bought a year ago. More effective mining hardware are coming up too often which will make mining with old hardware non-profitable.

How long has the cloud mining service been operational and how long have you been using it? I want firsthand experience not some bs blog with a calculator done by a guy who probably is an affiliate of different cloud mining services.

You may be talking about his https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18049210

there is also another tool to boost your transaction but i couldn't figure out how to make this work. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-transaction-fee-booster-1506632

I just tried it out for the first time in a week or two, and yeah, the service is currently all full (100 trx).  Ah well.

I think I remember reading that one can "manually push" a transaction along.  I forget where I read that and know nothing else about that.  Anyone know anything about manually pushing  transaction?

Interesting that ViaBTC would have the best cloud mining contracts too.



EDIT: I just put my trx no. in again at some 30 seconds after 11:00 PM US ET.

"Acceleration succeeded"





EDIT 2: Actually confirmed on the second block after.  ViaBTC won that block.

There is no exact time frame. Submitted transaction should be included in first mined block, so we can say that avarage maximum time should be around 10 minutes. But i'm not sure if that must be first block.. probably it depends also from the pool. Can someone confirm that?

I think what they're doing is somewhat helpful to separate those spam transactions done by bots and the legit and honest users submitting their txs manually and besides it's more of an advertising nature for their cloud mining services.
this might be off topic but does anyone know what is the exact time frame for confirmations after the first one?

They provide good service




I do not know


I had the same problem, you have to be patient and keep trying



So far I have not heard of another service besides Viabtc

I tried this service for a friend 2 consecutive days to help him because he was waiting since 2-3 days to receive his payment.It was his first bitcoin transaction and he finally is disappointed with bitcoin. Each time i got the message "limit reached 100 per hour.." or something similar... I give up at the end. 100 per is to low and surely this limit is reached every hour. People would need to make a bot trying every fews minutes just for trying to be in xD. By the way, do any of you guys know a service that work the same ? Or is Viabtc the only one?

I have used it about 5-10 times and it has worked really well. Other than 1 time where it nearly took an hour for a confirmation, the rest on the times the transactions got confirmed within 30 mins. Love the service but these days, because of the blockchain congestion, I'm not able to use it as well as I used to before.

Finally able to have it pushed.

Accelerated Successfully!
Took all morning and only able to do it in the last 20 minutes.

They based in China?

After many people started using this service I started to have headaches, the service is limited to few people and after several threads were created to talk about viabtc, it is difficult to use the service

This is what i experience yesterday when i was trying to use their service because i have a transaction too long to receive and use their service same result.. that is why my transaction took 24hours before i receive.. looks like they are too strict or more people are using it..
I thought that 100 transaction only for every ip.. so you mean all ip if they receive a 100 transaction in that hour no one can submit new transaction..

There's a 100 (?) transaction per hour limit, so that means that the service has already gotten 100 transactions requested for that hour.

The accelerator has gotten quite a bit of popularity, so you'll have to submit transaction requests early in the hour to get it in.

I get this message when I tried it for the first time:
Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later.

What happened is it down for now?

I've seen his thread also and tried viabtc and it is free like what they have stated in their webpage. I think they get something from this from the generous donators who give them atleast something after using their service.

I remember your other thread, glad you found a solution!

Is this service completely free? There's no hidden strings attached? Have they given you any messages from you constantly using this tool? I wonder how they do this for free. I've been looking for a way to transfer small amounts as well.

...

Various members here at bitcointalk suggested I check with the service I briefly explore in this thread.  Thank you guys!

Normally I do not "do" small transactions, but my blockchain.info iPhone app has not worked well for months now.  I have been unable to transfer normal amounts of BTC -- getting one of two error messages.  I DID find that I could send out rather small amounts (BTC0.001 - BTC0.0026 or so) somewhat freely.

My problem with doing this was that the transactions took very long to confirm (often 3 days), and naturally I vented...  The real problem is that the app would only send out trx with just BTC0.0001 as a fee, and that is such a low amount (BTC for trx byte size) that miners have little incentive to confirm.  And the app does not permit a larger fee (say 0.0002), so there I was, stuck waiting to get my small amount out of my iPhone bit by bit.

Here is the nice little service.  As long as any trx has a fee of BTC0.0001 or more, you can "accelerate" the transaction using a service with ViaBTC (looks like a miner in China).  Go here:

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Enter the transaction number, and the captcha, then ViaBTC will speed up the trx!  I do not know the mechanics behind it, but it has worked for me some 10 times now as I work down the balance in my iPhone.  Highly recommended!  Typically it speeds up each trx quite a bit (and apparently NOT just waiting for ViaBTC to win a block), I typically only have to wait some 1 - 3 blocks for the trx to confirm.


EDIT:

I just made two more trx, ran ViaBTC's service, and both confirmed in the next block.  Nice service. 

So who's my favorite miner now...?
