I will keep hitting the F5 button on my keyboard, and when I feel bored with it I will read another topic on Bitcointalk. But usually I can't wait for it, so I will keep staring at it.

I am also having similar habit of refreshing pages and also I will watch new block generation in block explorers.
But if we are receiving bitcoins in blockchain.info wallet, we will be able to spend even before having any confirmations with that transaction.

I think it's like you do not have any activity, lol you better leave it and look for other fun things. besides, it will be confirmed automatically you do not need to refresh the page every time, you just need to leave it for a while transactions with other activities, you can check again after one hour or more

hi

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

i am reading here and posting some stuff.

really it is a complicated time for me. usually i start to do visit at bitcointalk forum to spent time . because i think it is like a newspaper and gives important news about Bitcoin . so it is better way to pass time instead to wait for confirmation .

RocketSingh! That music is kind of awesome. Does sound at least semi-random, but catchy too.

"Someone" should be keeping track of awesome creative BTC-related websites like that one -- I have seen various creative ones but never got around to bookmarking or otherwise saving them.

Payment Gateway Allows Recurring Payments

What I do is just keep on reading and keep on studying about the market of bitcoin. Learning is a continuous process and that is what I am doing while waiting for my transactions to get confirmed. But when I get lazy I just stare to my computer and just looking upon how many confirmations are going to be with my transaction.

Lol useless you do refresh every second. it will have no effect on the transaction so that sooner, rather than spend time on things that are not definitely better to do useful and beneficial or profitable. you can do other work while waiting for the confirmation came, yeah that's what I always do

While waiting for a Tx confirmation, it is best to listen to the blockchain music created by new transactions - https://chainflyer.bitflyer.jp/

wow. never heard of this website. this is just awesome. do you now which transaction makes which sound? does the sound depend of the amount that has been send or what?

No idea. I think, those are pretty random.

I'll tell ya what im not doing, siting around waiting on a confirmation, it will confirm when it does.... as long as you pay some fee then ur fine Grin

yeah of course confirmed it would happen so better sit down and be patient, it would be better if you did not wait you can do other activities so that you do not need to feel waiting for confirmation of the transaction. yeah that's what I always do

yeah, there is nothing you can do about it to be honest, in my opinion you should just chill that time

i will just send my money and leave it even it not confirmed yet , why must wait until get confirmation ?

nope i think in all stores, perjudia sites, or other facilities would always wait for confirmation, at least 1-3 confirmation so you can continue the next process, or in gambling usually balance will not go or can not be withdrawn before the transaction was getting one confirmation

Crypto Swap Exchange

Why wait for a confirmation and got bored if you can find a place which accept zero confirmation Cool

Or you just do what you usually/want to do and wait an email which say transaction has completed.

Lol I thought you would not be able to use bitcoinmu when the confirmation has not been resolved because the current transaction confirmation could have been resolved had failed and bitcoin returned to sender. so before you accept the first confirmation you will not be able to use bitcoin it?

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

We are doing the same thing, i easily lost my temper especially on waiting confirmations on bitcoin transfers i keep on refreshing the page and hoping the transaction was completed but if it takes longer i do stream movies or watching videos on youtube and focus my mind into other things.

Maybe just waiting until the transaction is confirmed, because sometimes it only takes few minutes. But if the confirmation is to long, i just browsing until the confirmation confirmed.

I usually make a transaction and that is it.
I don't wait for it to be confirmed. When the recipient does not get my coins he always has a way to contact me.
But since that never happened I suppose it all came through in time.
My transactions are never that urgent that I would need them be done in a couple of minutes.

Lol I thought someone else would find a time when they will need bitcoin very urgent, maybe you have not come across that situation, but someday you will definitely feel it, by which time the transaction takes a long time but you need bitcoin that time? what would you do ?

This isn't a big deal for me, at least. As long as I saw the progress everything will be fine.

But it depends on the situation, if ever I need an urgent respond for those I like to deal quickly, Im just keep coming back to the respective page every 5 or 10 mins. Browsing other tabs is my common doings.

It is up to receiver of your bitcoin. Accepting a payment without confirmations is highly risky at it might get double spent. So, every merchants must wait till at least 3 three confirmations. Some companies, like Xapo are following 6 confirmations conventions. Confirmations will ensure your bitcoins not get reveresed by any chances.
