Hi,

I'm in bitcoin for a few months now. Up to know, never had any issues.
However, as of about 24hrs ago, none of my transactions seem to go through?
they all remain unconfirmed.

I've done transactions during the last few weeks, without any issue, using the lowest fair fee.
They always got confirmed (6 confirmations) within about 6 to 10 hours, where the first confirmation came in within the hour.

Since yesterday 07-jun-2016, 22:00 hrs (CET), none of my transactions got confirmed, even the last one, where I added the maximum recommended transaction fee, not any confirmation 2 hours later

Is there an issue or a change globally? Is it me, or just bad luck for me? Or .... ?
And how can I fix it? Because at the moment, it looks like I can't make any transactions anymore

I'm using Bitcoin Core version v0.12.1 (64-bit)

example of the latest tx id : https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/5f5e6a542c04fa299fca80159d25e93fe8d3fb5dc33c0728363f1b8a65ec3b94/ for 0.02 BTC (with the highest recommended tx fee)
example of the first tx id (still not confirmed today) : https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/0f5b2172714c91c4c65ad609a9d7c567bb3f74622c00bb859181dd2a56cc7672/ for 0.0051 BTC (I admit, with a very low tx fee)

Thanks for any feedback

that's because you're sending unconfirmed bitcoins (unconfirmed inputs). a transaction can't get a confirmation unless the input have been confirmed.

Hi, thanks for the quick feedback

hmm, ok, can you clarify a bit further? because all incoming transactions (bitcoins) into my wallet were confirmed, or do I understand you wrong?
did I do something wrong, or did this just happen beyond my control?

adding to that :
- I've read elsewhere that if a transaction remains unconfirmed, after a while these btc will come back into my wallet (like the transaction never happened), would this be the case also, or will they go through eventually?
- is there anything I can do to speed this up?
- is there anything I can do to avoid this in the future?
