[ANN] Ethereum transactions taking longer due to congestion, expect delays

in #blocktrades6 years ago

Over the past couple days we've noticed that Ethereum transactions are taking longer to confirm due to congestion on the network. In our research into the issue, we found this could be the issue (some voting effort being run by an exchange called FCoin):

As a result of this congestion, we've seen transactions take up to several hours to confirm when paying the default gas fee. We've doubled the gas fee our wallet would pay by default to see if this improves the situation.

TL;DR If you are in a hurry to get funds to fiat when selling Steem/SBD, considering using Litecoin, DOGE, etc for now instead of ETH.

Seems everybody is moving on to Etherium nowadays although i dont see the relevance since btc movement control the rest of the crypos

Thanks for your update i was so scared, i mean is no common have to wait more than 30 minutes for the transaction, @blocktrades great service. Regards

Hi, I sent 0.5 ETH and the transaction was successful: https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd174792d50163dd90a6490c7247d83f454f9d4058c90ecbe3a434913702c7ad4

On Blocktrades, my tx has failed and I did not get any SBD. When will you give me the ETH back?

After I sent the ETH, your system went under maintenance:

If you are going to undergo system maintenance, at least give a head's up to people.

For the time being, my ETH is with you:

You should at least notify me what are the steps that will be taken when this kind of problem occurs.

You just sad it could not be sent:
