RE: Bitcoin question for ya all, a bit new at this :)

in #bitcoin7 years ago

I dont know specifica but bitcoin is suppsr backlogged. Send funds with ltc or another fast one. Then convert? Propbably just going to have to wait. The forced hold. Keep researching though and good luck.

Sort:  

thanks! I don't have any other crypto to send with at the moment so I may have to just play the waiting game. Will be diversifying soon! Just need this to go through hahaha.

Thanks! I will try a couple of these things and see what works!

lol, just read that 200K+ transactions are in limbo due to network capacity issues (segwit vs whatever) as of yesterday, not sure about today. Seems that anything paying under the very high fees requested are going nowhere. The report I read stated that if no new transactions came in (which is never gonna happen), it would still take a day or so to get through the backlog. Small transactions may be toast as fees may be greater than transaction amount. See this craziness... yikes!

I am stuck sending ether, than converting. On the 16th I paid $5 for a $50 transfer. Guess I got off cheap!
