Bitcoin Transaction Pending? Don't Worry, We'll Give You the Trick!
Have you ever sent Bitcoin but the transaction keeps pending? It makes you panic, right? Well, in 2025, Bitcoin will be even more popular and become a frequently used payment method. However, there is one classic problem: Bitcoin's block space is only 4MB, bro. So, if many people use it, be prepared to get stuck!
But don't worry, there are several ways to prevent your transaction from getting stuck in the mempool or "temporary parking" of transactions. One of them is to make sure the transaction fee is correct before you send it. This way, your transaction can be processed faster without drama.
Come on, let's break down together how to stop yourself from getting annoyed because Bitcoin is always pending.
How Do Bitcoin Transactions Work?
Here's the story. Every time you send Bitcoin, your wallet will broadcast the transaction info to the entire network. All nodes in the network will check your transaction, while storing data on all other transactions, including those that are not yet completed or still waiting for their turn in the mempool.
Your transaction is only considered successful if it has been included in the block by the miners. So, if it is still hanging around in the mempool, please be patient!
Why Are Transaction Fees So Important?
Here's the thing, when you send Bitcoin, you automatically pay a transaction fee to the miners. Well, these miners have a habit: they will work on transactions that have a high fee first. So, if you give a low fee, your transaction will be asked to queue at the back, especially if the network is busy.
So, don't be stingy about fees if you want your transactions to be completed quickly. You can also set manual fees if your wallet gives you that option.
How come our transactions are stuck?
Sometimes, even though the transaction fee is quite good, the network can suddenly be full because many people are sending Bitcoin at the same time. If that happens, our transaction becomes pending. Especially if we only pay the minimum fee, then be prepared to be PHP-ed by the network.
The solution? We can use tricks like “Replace-by-Fee” to increase the fee in the middle of the road, or try using the Accelerator service so that our transactions
