plommer Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I've been following this on reddit and there are many bitcoin users complaining of really slow confirmation times for transactions. If you still have pending transactions from hours or days ago you are not alone. Using electrum wallet you can manually set your transaction fees. I'd recommend paying at least $0.25 in fees to get your transaction confirmed faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I have the slider set to the middlebump it up a coupe notches pal, there are 10's of thousands of transactions stuck in the blockchain currently. Paying a few cents more to ensure a prompt confirmation and no frustration is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, when there is a backlog in the blockchain like there is now the miners cherry pick which transactions to process first based on the highest fees available. We are talking cents more to ensure your transaction is processed in the next block. For shits and I love cock I tried sending a tiny amount with a 10cent fee on Tuesday morning at 7:30AM. It is still pending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports j Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hopefully the books are sending enough miner fees so the payouts are confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
