hi

what are you doing while your are waiting for a confirmation of a transaction.

i am reading here and posting some stuff.

I refresh the blockchain page to see if there is a new block mined and if my transaction was included on that block.

Sometimes i read the news about crypto, IT or even local newspapers, but since the transaction fees are good I wouldn't worry too much.
I also do things like you actually I really do not like to wait, but that I do not feel upset for a confirmation of a long normally I would forget about transactions that moment and do other activities such as reading news, watching youtube or the like, yeah maybe several times to refresh the transaction to see delivery status

It's natural to refresh the transaction screen many times to check if the transaction was included in the recent mined block.

Bitcoin is made in this way that there is some delay between unconfirmed and confirmed transaction, sometimes it takes longer sometimes it get confirmed within few minutes.

I prefer to continue the work that I was doing before making that transaction like continue reading the e-book or something similar and not worry too much about the transaction.
Waiting the transaction confirmation is very very borred. Do not make youre self getting stress just hear any music or read any bitcoin news that more fun. Just take it easy friend.
