It should change to paid almost immediately once your transaction hits 1 of 4 Confirmations. It looks like this hasn't happened yet?

It can take a few hours to change

Message transaxe support mate, you can also check the transaction id in the mempool to track where your BTC is

Hi, how do we track our btc? Sorry I'm pretty new to crypto and only use it for LB. I spent a small fortune a week ago that still hasn't processed on a normal fee. I made another order with a ridiculously high fee bit its still not paid. I'm curious to see what difference the fee even made if it doesn't jump the queue faster

👍 hopefully Bitpanda will be back for new registrations soon too…🤞🏼

are Bitpanda cheaper the paybis

I've not used Paybis but I pay only a single charge for Bitpanda (I send coin direct to LB, rarely takes more than a few minutes) and it hasn't been more than £1.50 for months (no charges to load your account). Obviously it would have been higher during this latest saga but all exchanges are effected by traffic...

This blockchain traffic is taking a long time to clear, so yeah it’s not unusual at the moment ☹️

Need a different currency, these fees are boosheet

bitcoin was an early proof of concept that got latched onto by libertarians as a get rich quick scheme. this site should really switch to a better cryptocurrency at this point

This 👆

Exodus tried to take a tenner to send around £70 last night, I manually reduced the fee slightly and now the transaction has sat for 14 hours without being confirmed. Also the cost to buy btc is super high, I’m paying at least 10-15% on every purchase

I went to buy £22 worth of bitcoin on bitylicious 2 nights ago but they were going to charge me £28 altogether. No chance. And exodus was showing around £7 for network fees so i didn't bother with that either. I then went on my new kraken account and £22 of bitcoin cost only 44p in kraken fees so I bought the bitcoin there and sent it straight to LB. The network fee from kraken to LB was £1.50

On the Web version of exodus u can set your own fee.. so a few days ago I set the fee at £3 to send, after 3 hours it didn't send so I used the £2 I had left in my wallet to accelerate the transaction and it went through within 10 minutes

The fee inflation is correlated to BTC/USD volatility.

Give it a couple weeks and fees will be back to manageable prices.

i noticed the mempool backlog last night and today is worse, insane fees are needed right now.

150 sat/B worked for me after waiting hours.

A 75 sat/B payment went through overnight for me.

Just had to pay £6.50 to transfer BTC from the exchange to my own wallet then another £8.50 in fees to transfer coin to the vendor! £15 fees for a £100 purchase! Appears to have gone through ok though.

Like the Deya reference 🤘🍻

I also just paid some ridiculous money for a transfer. 😄 Part of life every few months it seems

Ridiculous BTC fees at the moment. 9th Nov 2023.

The mempool isn't even half as congested as it was couple months ago, those fees tho, not looking forwards to putting order in tonight at all, never seen it so bad ever.

It looks like it's lots of large transactions currently. Something is going on? Been like this for a week. It's about 170+ sat/vB for the last block before confirmation currently.

In the last week btc has rocketed from 28k to 35k, will be due to this.👍

I just spent 205 pounds, and after sending to my own wallet i'm left with around 185.
After i make my purchase here i'll have spent around 35 quid on fees tonight.
so my 205 has turned into around 170

Properly sucks, that. But then I suppose it’s a bit like weed droughts of old. Where you’d pay stupid for ropey. 🤷‍♂️

A £30 cart just cost me £45. I wasn’t even going to buy it. Impulse buy cause I hadn’t had a cart in a while.

i was gonna go for a 4 pack of carts, looks like thats off the table now.😁

That’s ridiculous what kind of payment system is this.

I’m the type of person who will bring my own bags 4 life to Tesco and Poundland so hell to the no, hitting up the local hash dealer for some inconsistent hash!

This was through Revolut. Who aren’t the cheapest. But you budget for it and the convenience and ease is great.

This isn’t Revolut’s fault though. (Or any exchange/wallet/solution) It’s the coin. It’s totally unstable. There has to be a better way.

theres already better coins out there that this site could switch to tomorrow

I believe LTC was nominated as the new currency but that was like over a year ago and no update since

That's seriously painful, isn't it?

Just paid £15 in fees on a £25 order. Frickin’ crazy.

But you'd have paid the same for a £500+ order. The system is stacking to favour high value transactions as these are paying fees of $1k+, so they want things moved ASAP.

For sure seems that way doesn’t it. It remains to be seen if the order goes through at all.

The way it's going currently mate if anyone has an option of fees to send then go with the highest. The lowest will be continually outbid and will take days to confirm.

It went through in about 20 minutes.

Would have been nice to have the option to select longer time = lower fees. Rather than have that selected for me.

It’s probably a setting in my app to be honest.

Longer time = lower fees is a usual option, but with this volatility I don't know if that's a reasonable option. I think it's currently high fees or no confirmations. The amounts being sent are insane.

mempool.space

Was over 140 sat/vB moments ago and has come down to 111 sat/vB in block currently being processed. Just crazy.

Got messed up by it on Tuesday but got order through in 2 hrs. Fees kept going up and up and pushing my transaction back in the queue.

Def worth checking mempool before making a buy to see where to set the fees. Hope it clams down soon, as it makes it near impossible to buy.

Have you clicked on that final block then looked at some of the largest transactions? Millions are being shifted in single transactions currently. Some of these wallets have had throughput of 20k+ Btc... They're paying fees of thousands of dollars to get these transactions priority in the blockchain.

Yes I saw that the other day, eye watering amounts! Imagine how many times you'd re-check the wallet address before pressing Send on a transaction like that!

The last block processed at 161sat/vB and contains many multi-million dollar tranactions.

The mind boggles at what's actually going on. I was reading earler about some BRC_20 token that was btc linked and causing blockchain delays, but that was back in May.

The transactions in the final block awaiting confirmation ranges from 122 to 1440 sat/vB! Something is definitely going on as all of these huge transactions are bumping the regular transactions back into other blocks and they're never getting confirmed. Been going on for a week or so and just getting higher and higher. So May must have been when I was thinking of when this last happened?

This article maybe explains it best.
The highest fee I saw just now was a massive 2,014 sat/vB.
If you keep getting out-bid by people like this, it doesn't leave much room for us lowly Biggas!!

Great info in this comment 👆

I wish I had more of an idea of how it works. I’ve got £400 order to lb been pending since to 5th 🤬

I've just made a purchase, and my bitcoin vendor said the network is in a mess at the mo....

I've had payments with fees of 21 sat/vB awaiting 1st confirmation for 8 days now. It's a nightmare. It was 104 sat/vB for high priority last night. Ludicrous. Higher than it was about 4-5 months ago when it last went haywire.

Hi all ive used Bittylicious for bitcoin for almost 4 years.only recently I made an order for around $50 .and my fees were only £3.50ish. always around the same sort of fees.even an order of around $80 like i did 3 or 4 weeks ago.fees were Only about £5+. Seems like its who you use? Is charging high fees

I get a consistent 3% or so in fees buying from Bittylicious, but the huge fees are the ones to get that sent from your wallet to Transaxe as usually you can fund around 3-5 sat/vB and it sails through in well under an hour, but now the fees are around 110 sat/vB for priority which is around $5.

I don't even have a wallet.never used 1. Any coins I buy go directly to Transaxe.so no extra fees included .always under a fiver
. Never had any high fees with Bittylicious.thats why stuck with them for 4 years.

How can you see where your transaction is at? I’ve had my payment pending since the 5th. I’d quite happily pay a little extra to get it through. I’ve actually made 2 purchases since they have gone through and the biggest one is still waiting.

Hey Colin. If you click on the link (save it, it's handy), get the transaction ID from your wallet for this transaction and cut and paste that into the search bar on the link. It'll give you a visual representation of where the transaction is sitting in the blockchain, and how long it's likely to be before it's confirmed. If yours has been this long mate I doubt it will be confirmed with a bump in fees as it's around 305 sat/vB currently on 18/11, which is insane.

Don’t suppose you know how long or even if it is possible, for the transaction to fail or be returned? Or is it just a case of waiting. 2 weeks today.

Apparently it depends on the node that it's being processed through, but a high proportion are set up with a default of 14 days before being purged, at which point it should return to your wallet. Saying that, I had payments sent from Transaxe that took over 28 days to confirm, but they did eventually.

The fees are ludicrously high currently mate, so everyone started paying more and more in fees, so yours and thousands of other transactions have been bumped so far back that in the current situation they'll never be confirmed, hence the purging.

Thanks bud, I do appreciate you taking the time ✌🏼

It's no problem at all. You seem sound, Colin, and community-centric. A true Bigga. Hope those referrals stack up for you mate.

It's really complicated though, isn't it, even if someone is technically savvy? I've only been seriously working this out since April, and I feel I've barely scratched the surface of how this all works. If it costs me money though you can be assured I'll try to work out how it can cost me less.

Yes that's the way, i had an order from 4 vendors last night, all done in one, luckily.
I was up this morning at 6am and i seen the fees had dropped considerably since last night, looks like it's creeping back up tho.

If you’d like to keep using paybis you can just use a vpn and they’ll let you back into the account ;).

yeah i tried that and after they took my money they asked for id, because it’s not available in the uk united kingdom wasn’t an option so thought i screwed myself🤣i got the money refunded and used a different service that worked so alls well now, thanks anyway

Yeah I had the same when using a VPN with Paybis.

if you haven’t found another one i used changelly it’s an app, service fee was pretty low and only took like 10mins

Ah, I'm sorry it must have been different for me due to already having money in the account.

yeah i’m not sure what the issue was i’ve seen loads of people saying the vpn has worked for them but oh well

Moonpay is a good non-KYC option.

There is a limit on how much you can buy (something like $350) but it works.

You have to submit information like DOB, name, address but you can just use a random address generator for that.

Paybis is back up for UK users today 9th November. I haven't transferred any cash but received an email from them and logged in fine.

Hi Lumpey,

You shouldn't really worry about future orders from other vendors as most people are reliable and trustworthy if you do your research, even with what's been going on.

Regardless, if your buying process was done through transaxe/LB you should get a refund anyways.

Perhaps the person you used being friend or vendor had complications, to which you still should of been informed about though.

A week or so seems valid with the mayhem, but doesn't sound good if it was last seen a month ago and no update. I've still seen orders going through for people with the crashes, people have just been flocking to society.

I'm still a little confused if your mate is a vendor on here or if it was a purchase made separate from LB and this is your first time getting bud shipped.

It sounds like your friend needs a lesson in stealth.

Best ordering ndd paying the extra is the only way .Dr greenthumb free ndd .The gentleman dealers,greentech,pistach .as for a parcel from Thailand being late I wouldn't worry uk deliveries aren't getting through atm
