@patrickulrich his transaction wasn’t put into a block in over 30 minutes. This means he essentially missed 3 confirmations due to a fee lower than what the miners want. If he had paid a higher fee, he likely would have had 3 confirmations at the 30 minute mark instead of zero. 😕
It's a fee lower than what the market is accepting to be included in the next block. That is the way bitcoin is supposed to work so that's why I don't see what is broken.
I guess it’s a bit vague until we find out how much he paid. I guess I’m just butthurt because I had to wait a whole week for my bitcoin transaction to get mined Fall 2017 🤣 I paid a few cents, which I think is reasonable, but the miners wanted like at least a few dollars LOL so I had to wait 😕
He paid a fee of roughly 4 cents (0.00000681 BTC) and presumably sent around $30.5 (0.004675 BTC). It's not that the miner's want a certain fee. It's what a true free market prescribed as the adequate fee since block space is a limited resource and miners usually act in their own best interests to take the highest paying customers for their resource.
You’re right it’s not that they want a certain fee, it’s that they want higher fees in general LOL... We’re both on the same page here. Glad we don’t have to pay anything to send these comments and transfers around (:
Steepshot
But my digital gold 😁
Wait I don't see what's broken...
