maybe it's because the gas is too small that makes the transaction get delay for 2 days because as far as I know, from the normal gas, I always increase 20k or 30k to send and it's no need to wait too long to receive in my wallet. so I think before you want to make a transaction, make sure that you use higher gas so you don't have to get any delays.

the last time my friend sent me ETH it did took a couple of days but Yes, I think it's a gas issue because everyone want's to send coins with a minimum of gas as possible.
I think my friend only gave a little gas as a result of couple of days of queuing and processing.
it should be set on higher amount of gas so that miners will then set it to higher priority than other queue.

Someone sent me some ethereum 2 days ago!I know they sent it: checked Etherscan
Has not shown up!
As far as I am concerned ethereum is a joke.
Opinions please!

everyone had experienced that kind of network congestion as I did.
a friend of mine sent me 0.05 ETH to my wallet but it also took a couple of days before I received it so I think it's normal because network congestion is a sign of heavy traffic that many people are using Ethereum that time.
But most of the time, this days, it seems pretty normal that sending ETH will only take around 10 minutes of waiting.

Did you maybe sended contract to contract? If you did that, then you must talk to support whoever owns that wallet. Yous shouldn't send ethereum from contract to contract, common mistake, that also happens if you are sneding eth from one exchange to other. You should send ethereum from contract(ex. bitstamp exchange) to your wallet, and then to other contract(ex. poloniex)

Resend the transaction with a higher gas price. Because you keep the gas too low. I gas 40. and within 1 minute is to complete the transaction

That sounds funny. I think it's because you don't understand the blockchain, so it's a failure to transfer eth.
If you haven't been packing successfully, you should try to increase the handling fee.

After 2017 ethereum2s blockchain is more crowded than ever so its hard to guess anything. I would suggest you to wait some more and probably it will deliver if not you should set gas price higher in future..

Sometimes the transaction can take 2-3 days. Maybe it is not a scam but there is a chance it is. Wait and convince yourself

Re check the transaction, it will indicate it's status like transaction failed due to less gas. Or retry it again with a higher gas price.
Check out https://ethgasstation.info/ so you will know the safest and better gas limit and gwei for your transactions

If it doesn't showing a pending transaction that transaction should be failed say to the one who sent ETH to check his wallet it should be in his wallet. and tell him to next time when sending use little bit higher gas prices than ongoing using price for a quick transaction as your wish(can find using https://ethgasstation.info) and tell him to send you the tx id you can check transaction status using etherscan.io

There is may be a problem with nodes in the data-center. In this situation i was helped to cancel the transaction and reissue it again.

.... and they keep advertising ethereum as cheap transactions, fast, low fee, and without scaling problems but in reality everyone who has ever said it either had some stake in it and wanted the price to go up or they never made a transaction in their lives because they keep their ETH on exchanges for fast dumping purposes.
ethereum started as a good idea and continued to be a pretty illusion.

According to me, ethereum has cheap transactions and is quite fast. In all my transactions, the fees was charged below 0.5 dollars and was confirmed within the next 5 minutes unlike bitcoin where I paid 10$ still wasn’t confirmed for 3 days. As far as I have experienced, ethereum though is less scalable, still my transactions have never been stuck and I have never observed congestion in its network.

It processes its transactions pretty fast. And I don’t know what you are taking about being illusion cause ethereum was built to upgrade blockchain technology and it has done so by bringing into operation smart contracts. Ethereum still seems pretty healthy project to me.

Ethereum is a good high-tech cryptocurrency, but the blockchain congestion problem is terribly annoying and the devs need to do something about it.

The higher fee and gas price usually works, but in occasions like an exchange withdraw or some ICOs, in which you don't have any control over those factors, you just have to sit back and wait (maybe pray) until your transaction goes through! Angry

Yes, that issue must be fixed as one doesn’t have control over setting the gas and paying higher fees while withdrawing from an exchange, etc. But if I see at my transaction, all were done at lower gas and were confirmed within 5 minutes. I have never experienced congestion in ethereum network as of so far, whereas bitcoin on the other hand often has that problem. My transactions in bitcoin are not confirmed for 3-4 days for many time. This scalability issue of crypto currencies must be solved as the demand is increasing and so are the transactions.

Ethereum is not a joke, it can be due to low gas fee, and i think that should be the problem, you can try to resend it with an appropriate gas fee (reset the gas limit).
Always remember to keep your private keys safe, don't be scammed!

usually I use GAS 25 gwei for eth transfer,
and the result also transfer speed is okay,
no problem at all

I haven’t heard about ethereum getting stuck for 2 days. Every transaction of ethereum that I have done has completed within 5 mins. I don’t know where you received the ethereum. If its on a trustable wallet such as blockchain,etc than it might be problem with transaction, but its on some exchange site or other website then it is highly possible that the site is a scam and the transaction is stuck by them. Also check that the address was all correct letter to letter and number to number. I have never heard of any problem with ethereum transaction. Also try contacting support of the wallet.

I think the slow transaction and the fees are one of the two biggest problems in cryptos in general that I'd like to see solved.

Waiting more than 2 days is just too annoying.

I sometimes wonder how some of us in the crypto business portray some level of impatience whenever we encounter some common payment issues. We get so excited and call great platforms like Ethereum platform bad names. It's very unfortunate. It's true that right now we are experiencing transfer problems with Myetherwallet but that does not guaranty anyone in this crypto business to tag to our amazing smart contract platform a joke. Let us learn to be patient in life because there is no problem without a solution. I believe the transfer problem will be rectify very soon by the developers. I personally believe Ethereum is our pride and we should not destroy it. Thanks

it's probably just a signal interference.
I've also experienced things like that and I waited for 48 hours to get to my friend's wallet

Tell him to cancel that transaction and resend again with higher gwei.
To cancel a transaction send 0ETH to self address with medium to high gas fee and wait for it to get confirmed.

Thanks for that information mate. I didn’t know that a sent transaction can also be cancelled and there is such a process. I thought that ethereum or bitcoin once sent cannot be cancelled and remain stuck in between until they are received by a person at a particular address. Although I knew that sending with high gas confirms the transaction quickly. But if that’s the case, it can be said that blockchain transactions are reversible and this might also be risky. But again it helps many people to process their stuck transaction.
