I just started receiving $10 worth of btc in my android wallet. The process so far has been over 45 minutes. What is the longest wait you have personally experienced?
Bitcoin transactions are instant. It is just the transaction confirmation time that might take ages depending on the fee you paid. Usually higher the fee, faster is the transaction.
When i need to do a quick transaction fee and usually pay higher fees and the transaction gets confirmed with 10 min. Placing less fees gets my comfirmation done with ~60 mins.
