I also come to this forum and continue my participation in the bitcoin community and in that time the confirmation has taken place and I see the bitcoin transferred to the target address, the time of confirmation is not much longer it is only smaller time so I do not bother with that.

I just transfer the funds and keep it in mind that it will be processed within a few minutes so I do not bring out time for the wait but I continue to complete my other works and tasks and a after a few minutes i often come and check that where it reached.

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?

how funny, exactly the same over here. made some cleaning up on some small wallets (imported the keys on electrum) and now i am waiting for almost 2 hours without a confirmation.
the fee was high (50 cents), but one output is very small (600 sat.) which seems to be the problem. this never happened before so this is new to me.

Wow. Is it that "painful" to wait for a confirmation? Cheesy I just get on with my life and forget about it...

Since I am familiar with several altcoins, the bitcoin confirmation time makes me frustrated. I keep checking every 2-3 minutes to see if i've received m bitcoin or not.
A lot of my transactions are currency conversions so I' always in a rush to use the bitcoin as quickly as possible.

I also have no problems with confirmation time.
What if you send some BTC to, say, a trading website and you are waiting for them to confirm? You seem to miss the point.
Even with a good fee it still takes an amount of time.
You are right, didn't thought about this scenario, I'm long gone from trading, never had the nerve for it but back in the day I was always transferring my coins overnight...
so the answer to "what are you doing" is sleeping Smiley But it is exactly as I sad before, TX and forget till morning or whatever.

               Gotta have tranquillity dude!
I am starting to think your way of life is superior Cheesy

Just relax and hope nothing unexpected will happen. Had a few issues with uncomfirmed transactions but I'm trying not to think about it.

totally agree lol - I don't even leave the wallet open I just start working again
then check back later. Plus I have never really had to wait long as long as I've
used the recommended amount of fee for sending.

I'm building a scale model of Venice from my snot. I only do this when waiting for confirmations so my descendants will have to continue it after I'm gone.

Lol sounds a bit psychotic/sweaty IMO Cheesy

If you're legendary on here as I AM NOW, all you have to do is call up the Core team and you don't even have to wait for another block. And they also double the Bitcoin you're sending as a courtesy.

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)
I don't wait much, I have instructed electrum to always put the recommended fee by putting dynamic fees in it and the maximum I wait usually is 10-15 minutes.

During this time I can post on the forum or watch daily news , videos, trend, life etc.

I also have no problems with confirmation time.
Transaction done, close the client and forget till whatever.
Just use decent fee when sending, don't be a cheap snake and all the aggravation will be thing of the past. In case of receiving, as well I quickly check for 1 confirmation and than I close the block explorer, call me naive or stupid but I have had zero problems to date.
Fee, fee and fee is the key Wink

Fooling around with my cats.  It's funny, because I'm waiting for a confirmation at this very second.  Need to convert bitcoin to fiat so I'm waiting and waiting.   And posting on this forum, which is always a delight.

Sometimes you need to perform another action once it is confirmed, so you are sort of tied to your PC.

It's is more frustrating that it need be considering I am at a PC most of the time anyway Cheesy

yes, thats correct. i need teh confirmation. because i can't use the BTC before. And i need them now. so i have to wait and wait and wait and wait.
