So .. Bitcoin .. Is it still slow to confirm? ... I got into Crypto Currency about 2 years ago and fell in love with Bitcoin and its potential to change the world monetary system, When i 1st started to use it it seemed fairly fast and my transactions confirmed within minutes.. It was only about 3 months ago i noticed transactions seemed to take a long time to confirm and on average it took 30 mins - 1 hour to confirm .. i myself have never had to wait longer than a day for it to confirm but have heard many story's of people waiting upto 2 days and i sort of find that hard to believe, Have you had to wait upto 2 days or longer? ... So anyway i feel that it is starting to speed back up as now my transaction confirmation times are back down to 10 minutes or sooner... I feel that there is not really a confirmation issue any longer as i am no longer waiting that long for it to confirm .. Please let me know if you are waiting longer than 10 minutes? ... How long are you waiting for? ... Does anyone feel that there was slight manipulation some how from miners so they could charge more? ... For a test i sent Bitcoin,Litecoin,Xrp,Pivx to my Bittrix account literally all at the same time and it was Bitcoin that confirmed the quickest followed by Xrp,Litecoin then Pivx ... Yet all these coins say they are faster than Bitcoin but they was not in my test and also what would they be like if they had anywhere near the market cap and usage of Bitcoin ... I say better the devil you know ... :)
There is still a high fee
in comparison to other services it's not ...
It is still slow with me. My order to exchange some bitcoin for my local fiat currency has not finished yet though it was made on Saturday. The payment was registered at the exchange but there is no confirmation yet. Besides another exchange BTC -> GNT failed, as it got overdue status due to the lack of confirmation.
