Topic: What is the btc transaction time? (Read 1493 times)
I got my transaction bounced back... Yay.
I recently sent a transaction to a gambling account of mine, and since I was feeling a little poor, I didn't put in a transaction fee. It's been two days, and I've started wondering. When will my bitcoin arrive in this account?
Furthermore, what's the average transaction time of:
1) No fee
2) 0.0002 BTC fee
3)0.0005 BTC fee
4) 1 BTC fee
Thanks for all answers that come my way!

I've had transaction take over a day but I think it has more to do with the person on the other end of it than the blockchain than it does with the transaction size. I could be wrong though. The reason I say this is that legitimate companies always are fairly responsive in that transactions process within 8 hours, but usually within a few minutes. It's generally shady companies like gambling ones that takes forever. Maybe they are just cheap and don't cover transaction fees to speed things up - I don't know.
has anyone ever even sent a tx with a 1btc fee? 
thats hard to imagine

thats hard to imagineWhen Bitstamp was hacked the hacker got the Bitcoins out fast using 1btc fees for every transaction. After Bitstamp realised it had been hacked there was a race between Bitstamp and the hacker to be the one to move the coins first because they both had the private keys. The hacker paid 1btc fees to make the miners include his transaction in the next block rather than Bitstamp's transaction.

People have sent transactions with much larger fees than that. I'm sure there's a way to find them, just google it. thats hard to imagineSo what's the general consensus of what should be the average miners fee? Usually I set mine at around $.01-$.10 worth, just depends on the amount of bitcoins I'm sending and really would like it to confirm fast. So what amount does everyone else here use? I'm just curious.
Sound like way too much. Its not a $ per transaction thing, its a weight thing. If you have one input, then make a transaction with only that input, the transaction will be small, if you have 30 input address and then make one payment, the transaction size will be pretty big.
For a typical transaction you'll pay less than 0.0001BTC = 0.0001/kB, because the transaction would be less than a kB of course. You can pay more if you want but again unless its a huge transaction, its a waste of your money.

Without a transaction fee it's possible no miners will every accept it, but I think eventually you should get a miner to include it. Try re-broadcasting the transaction after a few days if it hasn't confirmed.
If you put 0.0001 BTC fee - average BTC transfer time can be ~ 1 hour, if you put larger BTC fee, let say 0.0002 BTC, then transfer time will be much faster

If bitcoin network in normal status, 0.0001BTC is enough for fee, your transaction will be included in the next block. If you include no fee, maybe your transaction will be included within 6 blocks, it need up to 1 hour to finish your transaction. Furthermore, what's the average transaction time of:

0.0002BTC and 0.0005BTC are used by me when unconfirmed transactions amount are so many. When unconfirmed transactions are many, 0.0002BTC fee need up to 6 blocks. If you input 0.0005BTC, your transaction will be included in the next block.
If you are have so many BTC, maybe you can try to input 1BTC to fee
. Average time to find a new block is about 1-15 minutes.Me? 1 BTC? Lol, you gotta be kidding me. What's the reason I didn't put in any fee in the first place? I was just wondering if it's been don't before, or if it will be instantly confirmed.
It can't more money isin't going to make a block happen and make it included. Transactions are only confirmed after included in a block when a miner found it. As such 0.0005/kB would not be any less or faster than 1B/kB.

I have been experimenting with different fees myself so I get some real life experience and not some theoretical calculation. It seems I don't see many differences between 0.001 and 0.0001... it takes more or less the same for some reason. 0 fees is horrible tho, always pay the default fee is my advice.
Why would anyone pay 1BTC of fee tho?

How much has been the maximum delay (according to your experiments) for a 0 fees transaction? Just curious
It really depends on the transaction backlog at the time. During a spam attack it most likely just wont. If not it can take weeks if its a small transaction as its age raise. But it can also take a few blocks.
You can check on the blockchain.info of a transaction to see whats its current priority. It will also tell you warning if the fee is under the recommended level at the time, etc.
May I advise you to just put the 2 cent transaction fee? Why risk waiting more than 2 days to safe 2 cents? 
Also, if your gambling anyway, what is the 2 cents going to do?

I think you will be charged, at most maybe 0.0005 BTC

The time is depends on how big your potential transaction made.
I personally use 0.0002 - 0.0006 fees is enough to make a fast transaction.
If you have a lot coins, put 1btc for fees is really awesome
