what you should do is try Advanced Send and then increase the fee

**puckk** · 10-30-16, 07:15 PM

the fee for bitcoin is less than 20 cents, increase it to like 35 cents, the miners will process it faster

**puckk** · 10-30-16, 07:15 PM

give it a try and let us know

**ParlayKing1986** · 11-01-16, 08:59 PM

It had seemed to be working as normal but got one tonight with a 23 cent fee thats over 2 hours now...

**temple2010** · 11-02-16, 02:18 PM

I usually send and receive within minutes but today it took 30 minutes. You get a little nervous thinking the worst lol

I got another 5d to circle Bitcoin payout last night. Easy. No Issues.

I sure hope 5d keeps Bitcoin payouts free and the minimums low. It seems like I lose less money when I know I can get free payouts.

Used to before, you'd have say a bankroll of $500 in there and have to make it into $1,000 before requesting a check payout just so the check fees would be worth it. Or you could only free withdraw once a month. A $40 check fee on a $1,000 is easier to handle than a $40 fee on $250. So that would lead to players keeping their money in there longer (due to fees) hoping to hit a higher figure to cash out, and in the process losing it all.

Now with Bitcoin unlimited free payouts, you can keep $300 in there. Each time you make $100, cash it out and start over. No need to wait to once a month for free payouts, or wait to cash out a large amount.

Hello SBR.
I recently made a mistake. I sent a transaction from my Blockchain Wallet to Heritage earlier in the day, without using the "custom send" method. (which allows us to increase miners fee for greater efficiency)

Its been about 7 hours. Perhaps a delay, as many experienced a while ago, is recurring; and just "waiting it out" is the way to go.

I've tried a "rebroadcast." After copying the lengthy "hex code" and pasting it into the "https://blockchain.info/pushtx" box and hitting submit, a message states "transaction already exists."

Besides my initial error concerning the "miners fee", can anybody advise?

Thanks to forum members who have assisted in past.

It will just be waiting it out now Roscoe. If it says tx already exists then the process has started. Doubtful it will take more than a day even with low fees.

Appreciate your response, Opti...as usual!

Hey to the SBR crew! Just an update on my situation with a Blockchain Wallet delay that Blockchain users might find informational.

Sent a transaction from Blockchain Wallet to Heritage 25 hours ago.

As of now, zero confirmations. I did forget to up the miners fee before sending which was an error.

Just initiated a 2nd "rebroadcast" to try to "kickstart" things.

Know many members have had longer wait times, with probably more BTCs involved in the transaction.

For what its worth, I'll keep the crew periodically updated.

As for the "rebroadcast" procedure, does this look right to you guys?

1) go to transaction URL
2) add "?format=hex" to end of URL address.
3) copy and paste into "https://blockchain.info/pushtx" section
4) hit submit

This procedure simply returns a message: "transaction already sent"

Just an update fellas....thanks for the help, Opti

I sent a small trans out 3+ hours ago listed as high priority very soon with 226 bytes size and 9 cent fee for 18$ transaction and still no conformations..any ideas why??

**Alfa1234** · 11-22-16, 01:00 PM

Big delays again right now...

The easiest and most trusted transaction search engine and block explorer.

Anything over 20k transactions means delays.

**hello1234567** · 11-22-16, 01:11 PM

Same issue here. Long delays.

My transaction was 520 bytes and the fee was .25? Does that cause the delays? I am not knowledgeable with BTC, other than it's been a very clean way to move money around between books, etc.

I am not desperate as I have several post up outs and 3 credit outs, but looking to learn more.

Right now the average tx size is around 220 bytes and the optimum fee for that size is 12c

So your fee for the 520 size sounds about right.

Why are they backed up on transactions? Any idea when we will see these confirmed.

Not certain today but the systems is reaching a capacity limit which has been planned to be addressed with an update 'sometime' in the next few weeks. It's a known issue that has been anticipated for a long time but there has been major trouble coming to an agreement on a solution and now it's right up against the system capacity. Bad management.

Anyway, I suspect that is behind the delays again today.

If a rebroadcast says transaction already exists, then there is nothing you can do but wait. probably hours but could be as long as a day or so. Your btc is safe and not lost though.

How do I do a reboaedcast. I can't figure it out.

Just an update on a delayed Blockchain to Heritage transaction.

Blockchain gave confirmation after about 36 hours.

Funds haven't reached Heritage since confirmation. (about 6 hours)

Have snapshot of Heritage's BTC generated address, and will call them when their customer service dept opens. (at 9am Eastern time)

Thanks for the help that this thread gives.

Will keep updated.

**grantingyou** · 11-23-16, 10:29 AM

My transaction was confirmed last night around 10:00pm ET. It took almost 10 hours.

**BrickJames** · 11-23-16, 10:40 AM

I don't know why everyone's having so much trouble I actually ended up making a couple bitcoin moves last night they only took about 45 minutes.

**Roscoe_Word** · 11-23-16, 10:52 AM

My Blockchain to Heritage transaction finally hit. (about 43 hours)

This has been my only difficult transaction in many attempts.

Many thanks to Alfa, Opti and grantingyou for the correspondence.

**Alfa1234** · 11-25-16, 03:16 AM

Had a withdrawal from Anonibet, they always use low fees. This time, the transaction was dropped from the blockchain after about 48h...so it's returned back to their wallet. I contacted them and they'll look into it. I sure hope they can get it sorted because I'm a bit worried about it.

Edit: received the withdrawal again about an hour after I contacted them. Still the same low fees though, but hopefully this time it'll go through as the delays appear to be shortening.
