Transactions are still taking forever to show a single confirmation, while other block services are showing 6+ confirmations.
What is the issue here?
* transactions made from the blockchain.info wallet are taking a long time to confirm
or
* confirmed transactions are taking a long time to be shown on blockchain.info
or
* something else
?
For a very long time now I've been annoyed by blockchain.info's tendency to fail to show some unconfirmed transactions at all. I make a transaction to someone, they complain that "it didn't come", I check and every node I look at has the transaction in their mempool, but blockchain.info's website doesn't seem to know about it. I then use
https://blockchain.info/pushtx to manually tell them about it, and it shows up. Or I wait, and it shows up once it is in a block.
This happens quite regularly, to maybe 1% of the transactions I make.
I don't understand how a site as well connected as blockchain.info can miss so many transactions as they bounce around the network.
