Payment stuck on sending

Hi all. So I’ve placed an order & sent payment as normal but the transaction has been stuck on “sending “ for over 12 hours now with no confirmations. Contacted Transax support but no answer so far. Never had it take this long before & never had an issue before the system moved to Segwit so I’m wondering if that’s an issue?

My wallet does support it so I’m not sure. Getting very worried now! Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am having a similar problem however i have had confirmations but on LB the status is "Your payment is awaiting confirmation " .....been waiting nearly an hour now

My order has just went through now, i hope it works out soon for the rest of you, waiting for this sort of shit is a bastard.....

At least you've had confirmations. 24 hours and counting for me now! Good luck everyone! 🤞🏻

Yup - same here, waiting hours. Check a graph of the mempool size, that's the number of transactions awaiting a block.. in the waiting room if you like. 2nd biggest spike this year and still climbing. Add that to the transaxe chages and we have treacle.

My BTC are now going through as entered the blockchain, just awaiting confirmations.
30 hours!
Be patient and everyone's should go through soon.

I have had a lot of messages today from customers having the same issue ! Eventually it does go through but it can take a very long time 😭 You’re definitely not alone !

Thanks for that. It's got to be stressful for you guys too. Doesn't the order auto-cancel after a certain time unpaid? I've asked both vendors to extend while I wait it out. Trying not to stress it but failing!

Sorry mate just to add I've just gone to bittylicious to buy some bitcoin and they've got a message on their homepage saying the mempool is currently swamped and transactions are taking hours so I guess there's a network delay atm mate which means nothing to do but wait it out sadly it will go through eventually hopefully we can make cut off times haha! :)

Thanks guys, really appreciate that. Looks like the system is just running crazy slow right now...

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or if I'd screwed up somehow. Not for the first time I wish LB had a payment method outside of BTC!

Takes forever to get confirmations lately. If you sent the bitcoin from your own wallet you should be able to increase the fee (using replace by fee option) to get it bumped up the queue otherwise it's just a case of waiting I think. You can check where you are in the mempool on a blockviewer site one of them tells you how many minutes/hours away you are from the top can't remember which one though. Good luck mate!

Also wondering if I might end up under (or over) paying on this order as the value of BTC will obviously change over the time it takes to confirm. Both vendors have been great about the delay so shout-outs to GreenCat and RadarBreeder for that 👍

Nah you're good on that front mate in my experience no matter how long it takes to confirm the bitcoin price wont change from what it was when you ordered it :)

Two legendary sellers you've gone with too :)

I was also wondering what would happen if I cancel the orders at this end? Would the funds still come to LB and then be refunded or... Just weighing up options here. Now at well over 24 hours no confirmations...

zz87

I've never done it but I think if you cancel you then have to provide a wallet address and get the BTC sent back to you by transaxe but I'm not 100% sure mate - mine has just got confirmed now took 4 and a half hours so I'm feeling lucky :) maybe the mempool is starting to clear up

Foxy2022

Thanks. Mine is still unconfirmed after 24hrs+ My Mrs placed an order this afternoon & it cleared in 20 mins. Honestly I'm just about done with all this at this point. Too much stress & hassle for a bit of weed. LB is great but the reliance on BTC just kills it for me...

zz87

If you haven't already I would definitely try and increase the fee a little bit it'll get rebroadcast and should surely get picked up this time. I know what you mean about the stress mate when anything like this happens is a nightmare but at least you can be safe knowing you wont lose that BTC it will either confirm or you'll get refunded from transaxe doesn't take away the hassle but it's something at least. Fingers crossed for you bud!

Foxy2022

It's a Blockchain.com wallet & although they say you can send with a higher fee there`s no obvious way to do that after it's been sent & no-one there responds to support requests. Hopefully it clears but I just tried to cash out a little BTC from my wallet & that's stuck too. Maybe a problem on Blockchains end...

Thanks mate. Appreciate all the advice. Right now though my willingness to risk any more actual money on buying any more BTC is zero.
