If I know that I input the correct fees on a certain transaction and made sure that the destination address is correct, I just leave it as it is and check back in an hour or so. I don't stress too much on waiting for it, sometimes I just take a nap or play some games of dota and look back to see whether the tx is already confirmed in the network.

I keep hitting the F5 button and watch till it confirms, usually when i transfer big amount .5 BTC above, i keep my eyes on the screen and will be a big relief once it confirms and land on my wallet.

I usually like to click the refresh button of the blockchain website but now I realized that even if I click that several times, it takes time for the transaction to be confirmed. So I do other things like watching youtube videos or playing rpg games  Smiley

When the sender sends me the transaction link, I don't wait anymore because I know that it is not reversible. I don't have to wait for it because I'm not going to use it right away anyway. When sending Bitcoins, I've never had any problems with the confirmation because it will only take like 15 minutes up to 30 minutes maximum. I just do other stuffs while it's still sending like making my homework, reading articles, books, watching youtube videos, basically just to pass the time.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments
While waiting the comfimation im still looking something that i can lean my time on maybe playing video games while waiting to get not boooored while waiting specially when im doing gambling etc and when i needed the money its urgent everything sometimes depends on the fees were are going to pay.

I can relate to what you are doing while waiting for the confirmation. I am playing through my smartphone and my favorite game now is Zelda the Minish Cap even though this is already an old game with game boy. I am using gameboy emulator. Because every time I am checking my transaction to get confirmed it is making me annoyed so I need to have stress reliever.

hi

what are you doing while your are waiting for a confirmation of a transaction.

i am reading here and posting some stuff.

Every time I waited for the confirmation of transaction that I made, what I do is I'm reading in the bitcointalk.org and posting in the thread section forum. So that my time of waiting will not be wasted anyhow.  
That's good and ideal way of waiting some transaction to confirm than doing nothing or just watching on youtube or television
such a wasting of time .i don't think people nowadays are very addicted to social networking sites some of them.are just wasting time on it.

I never had to wait the confirmation time since i used 3rd party for any transaction in order to get fast confirmation, however when i send bitcoin and it took many time, iam just going to leave it honestly , I never had a serious problem with time confirmation like people had.
Even there are some people waiting the confirmation till 5 hours. I think it's crazy, but it must the fee.

lol.. Why would you want to wait for confirmation? Cheesy
Just leave it once you made transaction, you can check it later to see is it already done or not.
Of course I do other activities, like reading, watching videos, and stuff.

Usually im watching tv or i will be playing a game making a transaction or not with bitcoins, i just came later to check if the transaction has been done, i dont think it takes a long period at all, knowing how bitcoins does work.

Any store can buy, sell, and accept Crypto
hi

what are you doing while your are waiting for a confirmation of a transaction.

i am reading here and posting some stuff.

I refresh the blockchain page to see if there is a new block mined and if my transaction was included on that block.

Sometimes i read the news about crypto, IT or even local newspapers, but since the transaction fees are good I wouldn't worry too much.
I also do things like you actually I really do not like to wait, but that I do not feel upset for a confirmation of a long normally I would forget about transactions that moment and do other activities such as reading news, watching youtube or the like, yeah maybe several times to refresh the transaction to see delivery status

It's natural to refresh the transaction screen many times to check if the transaction was included in the recent mined block.

Bitcoin is made in this way that there is some delay between unconfirmed and confirmed transaction, sometimes it takes longer sometimes it get confirmed within few minutes.

I prefer to continue the work that I was doing before making that transaction like continue reading the e-book or something similar and not worry too much about the transaction.
Waiting the transaction confirmation is very very borred. Do not make youre self getting stress just hear any music or read any bitcoin news that more fun. Just take it easy friend.

Watching videos on YouTube, smoking, and drink a cup of coffe. Will make feel of bored because of waiting confirmation was gone. But it will not work for the people who don't like smoking and coffe.
Yes sometimes I do that too. If I am waiting for confirmation of payment, I waited with refer to YouTube or some articles are for. Sometimes I also check whether the transaction has been successful or not.

I just do the other stuff while it gets confirmed and later on i check if it is done or not yet, but mostly when i send bitcoins somewhere i keep looking on that site to see if they are confirmed or not yet and i also do some reading and posting here in that time like you.

Most of the time when the weather is good I go out for a while and take some energy and usually I don't look back for 30min or 1 hour. But when the weather is rainy or similar I prefer to watch trailers on youtube lol.

Well if i don't have any important things to do while waiting for that confirmation I would probably walk few miles four hours or an half and just enjoy playing pokemon then checking also the blocks once in a while.
