  • In this video I show you why your bitcoin is stuck in the blockchain and I explain how bitcoin transaction fees and the mempool work. These last few weeks, the mempool has been flooded by ordinal and BRC-20 transactions that have made it very expensive to transact Bitcoin. This has shown us how important it is to start building out infrastructure for layer 2 systems like the lightning network and Blcokstream’s Liquid network so that people will always have the option of quickly and cheaply settling their Bitcoin. A lot of people think that ordinals will be the death of Bitcoin but I think it’s greatly exaggerated. I think it his unlikely that monkey pictures will take down the most robust value settlement protocol ever created - Bitcoin remains undefeated.

      Which part lost you? Here's a tutorial of how to access your Ledger Nano S+ from Electrum (a wallet that lets you replace by fee) support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005161925-Set-up-and-use-Electrum?docs=true

    Just found you this morning-- solid content, well paced!
    OT question: In light of recent news I want to get a Cold Card. I seem to recall hearing about a new product in the works somewhere, but can't find any info. Can confirm? Trying to avoid being the guy who bought Nano S a couple months before the S + came out. Thanks

      They’re releasing a new product called the Q1: store.coinkite.com/store/cc-q1
      It does the same thing basically as the mk4 but it has bigger keyboard and QR code scanning. I’ll probably review once it’s out

    Hi. What a great informative video!!
    My btc transaction is now 6 days old and was confirmed within about 30 minutes or so after I did it. The receiver says they can’t confirm in their system that they received it. I have watched your video and lots of others about stuck “unconfirmed” transactions but mine was actually confirmed and I sent them proof. What do you think happened here and how long do you think it will take to move on through? 😊
    Thank you!!

    • @RhettReisman

      Happy to help - it could take a long time, mine was unconfirmed for months, depends how low the fee is and what's happening on the network

    • @RhettReisman
      @RhettReisman  Před 6 měsíci

      Around 15 days you should be able to resend the transaction with a new fee. Alternatively you can use the steps in this video (load your hot wallet seed into sparrow / connect your hardware wallet to sparrow) and then do Child Pays for Parent czcams.com/video/Q62NoR2qhiw/video.html&pp=ygUbcmhldHQgY2hpbGQgcGF5cyBmb3IgcGFyZW50
      Or if the wallet you're using has Replace by Fee (RBF) or Fee Bump you can add a new fee to send faster

    BTW, do you have any recommended resources for learning more about the technical details of Bitcoin (fees, mempool, segwit, etc.)? I feel like I understand the high-level philosophy behind it, but I'm missing a lot of technical understanding.

      @RhettReisman  Před rokem +2

      Yeah check out this book from Andreas Antonopolous - it has a ton of technical detail: amzn.to/32w6HUt
      I recommend getting a physical copy / kindle. Better to be able to flip through it as reference vs listening to it on audible.

    Hey Rhett my Btc has been stuck for 4 days. I used my blockchain wallet to send my Btc to my Coinbase wallet. It still says it is awaiting 2 confirmations. I put in low fees though.. Do I just need to wait the 14 days I am not sure if you are familiar with the blockchain wallet but if you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your help and great video!
