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

Because certain transactions have a high priority because people have made a deal and wait for it to get completed. If there is no priority, then there is basically no need to keep staring at the transaction till it gets its first confirmation, then you're right.

IF im in a hurry i always look to the confirmation when im transferring bitcoin and sometimes transfers are too long and sometimes less than 2 minutes i guess it really depends but when im not in a hurry i dont have to check it if its confirmed or not as long as i saw the progress i just leave it and do the usual stuffs.

For me, most of the confirmation times are unusually long- maybe I was just unlucky. I would just impatiently checking the blockchain.info website to see when the next block has been mined.

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.

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

Hmm. Been a years or more since I started using Bitcoin and sending Bitcoin is part of my daily life (not really, maybe weekly?). I don't really mind the waiting times for normal transactions time and I usally do things that I normally do while waiting for my transactions to be accepted into the Bitcoin Blockchain system. These includes but not limited to, gaming, reading, posting and watching videos.

While I'm waiting for confirmation I do usual daily things: reading news, browsing facebook, watching youtube videos and sports broadcasts. I don't really care about confirmation, because when I see pending transaction, I'm sure that I will receive money soon.

I do nothing special when waiting for a confirmation, i just continue my work online and sometimes i disconnect and go offline and when i return back i find the transaction already confirmed.

There is a bunch of things to do, depends in what kind of mood I`m. Generally same like most people here, I`m reading news here, or on some social network, commenting, watching youtube, playing some free roll poker tournament.
I don`t think it`s horrible to wait transaction to confirm, I have patience. Usually when I`m sending bitcoin from wallet to casino, or otherwise it`s pretty fast. In some casino deposit is almost instant, and withdraw is going pretty fast also on some places.

It isn't very long time, I noticed that exchanges and Casinos transactions are very fast, and most of my transactions are from exchanges or casions to my wallet, thus I don't wait a lot, in this time I often read some news on twitter or on Bitcoin news sites, or I make some tweets.

I just go do something else for a while and check back every now and then. I remember way back to my first few transactions though, I used to just stare at the confirmation page on the edge of my seat, refreshing and then wooting when the first confirmation finally happened. lol.

This is the most logic thing to do honestly. What else then find something else to do and check back in 1 hour. Sometimes I write it down (if it's a big amount) because yes there is no saying how long you will have to wait exactly. It's all a matter of time. So next time when you are waiting, try to find another job.

In the mean time you open a blockchain.info window with a autorefresh plugin. So you can check it while doing other tasks.

Whenever there's a delay in confirmations even if I did pay the right amount of fee, I'd suspect an attack on the network and usually head towards /r/bitcoin on reddit to seek information on whether others are facing similar issues. If it's just me, I'd usually wait for the transaction to confirm and carry on with my usual work browsing videos or watching documentaries online or a couple of TV shows.

I am mostly online when waiting on a confirmation. Typically when I send or receive BTC it is "important", so usually I do not leave to go on errands or similar. If I am using bitmixer.io, that takes more time (call it 30 minutes for everything to clear), then perhaps I will leave to go do something "productive".

Often I check the financial markets or financial websites (Zero Hedge, etc.) while waiting. Or even post here at bitcointalk...

While waiting for cofnirmation what I am doing is that I am surfing in the social medias like facebook and as well as watching some youtube videos. And if that is still enough I am researching some good trend to come with bitcoin and as well as what are the new trends in the technology. Because I need to keep on updated.

You can read this interesting blog / site too http://criptomoedasfacil.com/ while you waiting for confirmations.

Doing other things chatting with friends while waiting for confirmation, we do not know how long we will wait for it, and that's part of the bitcointransaction some times need more time to wait for it.
