BTC send stuck for 17 hours!??! Anonymous Fri Oct 27 20:30:35 2017 No.4081747 [Reply] [Original]

How long is too long?

I sent 1.3 BTC my Electrum wallet to Bitstamp (was going to sell it yesterday if it hit 6K).

Its been unconfirmed now for 17 hours. This is not the first time Ive sent BTC from Electrum, it worked fine last time). I look up the TX ID on blockonomics and estimated confirmation time keeps going up (its at 13 hours now) and its been over 17 hours and still says 'unconfirmed'

How long is too long?

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 20:44:34 2017 No.4081881 >>4081859 Ok thanks for the info. I didn't change any of the fee sliders the first time I sent from Electrum and it was the "normal" approx 40 minutes. Next time I'll plus up the slider. Thx

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 21:56:17 2017 No.4082526 >>4082453 This is kinda what Im worried about. The transaction has been unconfirmed for 19 hours now. Its 8000 USD worth of money too. If I just had 8 grand magically 404 on me, well, I'm done with this Crypto crap for good.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 21:59:08 2017 No.4082552 >>4082526 If it gets no confirmations for too long the transaction is cancelled so no need to worry about losing the coins.

Im new to using Electrum to send BTC. Ive done it twice, and neither time did I change the sliders or check boxes from their default settings. The first time it took 30-40 mins. This time Im at 19 hours and still counting.

From blockonomics, looks like the fee was:
Transaction Fees: 0.00032009 BTC

"When a Bitcoin transaction is transmitted to the network it first gets veried byall of the Bitcoin
nodes available. After it successfully passes verication it goes and sits inside the “Mempool” (short for Memory Pool) and patiently awaits until a miner picks it up to include it in the next block. So the Mempool is basicallythe node’s holding area for all the pending transactions."

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:16:30 2017 No.4082678 Fellow over 40, get another phone and install a wallet, import your seed / private key there and try to resend again but this time with higher fee.

>>4082674
Thx. I still dont really know how to interpret that chart. Just means "theres a lot of transactions pending?"

On BTC.com in the TXID tracking page, there is a button for a paid transaction accelerator. pushtx.btc.com I believe. They want 20 USD to accelerate my transaction. Is this a scam?

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:21:00 2017 No.4082713 >>4082678 Interesting. I sent the 1.3BTC from Electrum using my mac laptop (so its an Electrum.app). Are you saying that I can install an electrum app on my iPhone, use the same login / seed/ private key data and re-send the 1.3 BTC again??

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:21:16 2017 No.4082716 >>4082700 >Is this a scam? no, this is bitcoin segwit™ brought to you by lukejr® sponsored by blockstream©

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:22:44 2017 No.4082730 >>4082608 By the way, it's no longer 72hrs, corestream had this upped quietly to 2 weeks as part of their strategy months ago. This is to drive up onchain tx fees so they can cripple bitcoin and force users to pay for their segwit bullshit product

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:24:54 2017 No.4082748 >>4082713 yes correct, this is called double spending / intercepting the initial tx before it gets confirmed. Perfectly valid since you hold the priv keys

Anonymous Fri Oct 27 22:25:01 2017 No.4082749

If you zoom the chart out to 60 days you will see the relation to an average memory pool size on the network. Imagine your computer being low on memory due to numerous open applications. The chart is all the ram on all of the nodes for the network.

When the memory capacity spikes high like this nodes need a way to decide what to process and what to ignore. Likely other transactions are paying slightly higher fees cutting you off until traffic normalizes, the transaction times out or you process a double spend causing it to cancel the first order described by >>4082678

This is exactly why BTC is going through these hardforks right now.

Interesting!!! Might go this route if it doesn't clear by tomorrow.

>>4082730
Ahhh!! This makes sense too.

>>4082749
Thanks for the explanation.

Its not urgent anymore, I missed the near 6K sell I wanted to get in on yesterday. Ive had good luck (so far) buying at 5500 and selling at 6000. Wanted to do a repeat of that but its too late now.

Today /biz was helpful. Some of you guys are alright, dont go to Guam tomorrow.

this is a much more useful way of seeing what the hell is going on with the mempool when you want to send coin
will be nicer once we have segwit on electrum wallets. hopefully this is out with the next version stat... they are a little behind schedule
