Heya,
I wanted to spend some bitcoin and buy close to 4 SBD , thought i'd give it a go on https://blocktrades.us/ since it worked well in reverse (SBD to bitcoin was processed very fast) . Ran into a problem: Transaction won't go through. Waiting for confirmation since yesterday now.
This is how it looks like on blocktrades:
5/12/2017 12:27 AM 0.004 BTC 0 of 1≈ 4.155 SBD seccentral
transaction ID : https://blockchain.info/tx/ca7c869d697e3d1ebd591716f74ea20384f9f3cd1ca5cf3a1caff818e86c87bc
Is this normal ? Can anybody tell me and also what's up with the ~17$ transaction that sits alonside my originally intended ~7$ ?
your BTC transaction is unconfirmed, not been included in any block. Most probably because you used a very low miner fee and they're not happy to include it quickly. Last time I did that it took over a week to be included in a block and I think I got lucky. Other have waited many weeks.
Most probably blocktrades goes through with the conversion when there is at least 1 confirmation.
Also, ignore cryptocash. It's posting comments with cat photos all around. most probably through a bot.
Ok, so (i'm new to this btw) when i changed almost 20 SBD for bitcoins the transaction went through in about 60 sec.
What do you mean i used a low miner fee ? I had no option to use any fee anywhere.
when you are sending a bitcoin payment (depending on the wallet you use) there is a miner's fee required. If you set that miner's fee to the lowest possible, it could be they would not process your transaction with priority, sometimes taking weeks to get it processes. It sucks I know and you're not the first to get this :)
I see. Blockchain.info wallet and I saw no miner fee setting anywhere
on your transaction link there is a
Which is small, compared to the recommended:
Umm, not sure what to make of this lol. I take it it's an issue for others too ? and you're glad I brought it up ? Or you just like trippy psychedelic cat gods.
