Hi,

I have a problem with my transaction like lots of people. Many of us are asking for acceleration, me as well. But after acceleration some of them me inclusive have still been waiting for confirmation  Embarrassed.
Transactions can be confirmed by miners as far as I know. And as far as I know some of the miners can confirm, but some can only accelerate.

My question is how to become a miner that can confirm a transaction?

E.g. I've installed Windows Bitcoin Miner, but I can't see any transactions, and accelerate and confirm as well. Should I buy some cloud contract or expensive equipment? Or with a right software, it is also possible?

Thank you in advance.

Another question would be, who knows miners who can both accelerate and confirm transactions for a fee?
What's difference between acceleration and confirmation? Accelerate means getting tranaction confirmed quickly and that "confirm" is the same. In this situation these both words are the same. Yes, miners can confirm but you need to be very serious miner. By installing that you can't include because I guess with your pc you just can't mine bitcoin. Those miners have very big hashrate. As far as I know QuickSeller has access on f2pool transaction selector, sk cobtact him here. P.S no one accelerates for free. You can try viabtc for free but there is limit of 100 transaction in one hour and you have to be ultra fast to make your trabsaction included in it's list.

I don't know the difference between acceleration and confirmation because I've never seen this with my eyes as a miner. But what I see my transaction isn't confirmed yet. And one guy in this forum said that he accelerated my transaction. From these two facts, I concluded that confirmation and acceleration aren't the same.
Do you know someone who can 100 % confirm my transaction for a fee? I'll try to contact QuickSeller.

How to become a miner that can confirm transactions? What are minimal requirements?
What do you mean 'I have to be ultra fast'? Do you mean I can influence the process? How?

Seems you didn't read my post carefully. I told you to be ultra fast when trying to get your transaction included on viabtc's accelerator since they have limit of 100 transaction and that limit filles in less than a second. Difference between acceleration and confirmation wasn't until but now some people call acceleration to broadcasting your transaction, in reality it does almost nothing, just gives a little unnoticable push to network. Confirmation (still posted as acceleration on viabtc, btc.com....) is that your transactions gets high priority and when they mine block, they include your transaction in it and for example if you had to wait for days with your fee, after accelerating it (not broadcasting), you get confirmation in minutes/hours...
