- Dec 25, 2021 · 3 years agoWhen a bitcoin transaction is not confirmed, it remains in the mempool, which is a waiting area for unconfirmed transactions. Miners prioritize transactions with higher fees, so if your transaction has a low fee, it may take longer to be confirmed. In some cases, if the transaction remains unconfirmed for a long time, it may eventually be dropped from the mempool and the funds will be returned to the sender's wallet. The time it takes for a transaction to be confirmed can vary depending on network congestion and the fee attached to the transaction.
- Dec 25, 2021 · 3 years agoIf a bitcoin transaction is not confirmed, it can be frustrating, but there's no need to panic. The transaction will remain in the mempool until it is either confirmed or dropped. It's important to note that the transaction can still be confirmed even after a long time, especially if the fee attached to the transaction is high. However, if the transaction is not confirmed within a reasonable time frame, it may be necessary to contact the wallet provider or exchange for assistance.
