So How Many Bitcoins Do YOU Have Stuck In The Traffic Jam!? READ TO LEARN HOW TO NOT BLOW IT!

LIVE VIEW OF THE BITCOIN NETWORK:

Unfortunately, all drivers on the bitcoin highway smashed through the toll gates and are now being held in jail for at least 3 days.

Be sure to up your fees, guys!  If you're using Bitcoin, you will NOT have a successful transaction if you do not pay roughly 55 satoshi per byte at the moment.  If you fail to do this, chances are your transaction will NOT confirm and will be returned to the originating wallet in roughly 72 hours.  NOT FUN!!!

I personally messed up by underpaying the fee and now I'm stuck in BTC limbo on around 4 transactions . . . with quite a few coins.  Sitting on your hands is not a fun thing to do as you watch the markets move before your eyes :'(.

Please feel free to cry your tears of woe in this thread and tell your story of how you blew it on the BTC network!

I moved a token amount for my first trade just to see if I could do it. It took like 25 minutes from Bittrex to Coinbase, and I was certain I had screwed something up LOL. I worked out eventually. Pretty exciting breaking the crypto cherry...I even had to post about it lol.

Do tread lightly!  Make educated moves into ideas that you believe in that you believe will benefit society as a whole.

Yeah I'm not worried about my stuck BTC, the mempool will eventually spit them back out if no nodes pick up the weak fees.

Sorry that happened to you Matt. Sending BTC can be stressful! It's funny how BTC moves at a glacial pace when we're all over here in fiberoptic graphene crypto land.

Yes, yes it can!  Also painfully . . . slow . . .  Bitcoin is England, Steem is America, well the OG America.  From taxation to FREE.
