Hi all!
Longtime lurker, first time poster, so please do forgive if these are stupid questions, but here goes:
In the desktop wallet, my coins are being "minted," but not accepted into the blockchain. I read the message included within "transaction details" (and poked around online to no avail), and I'm left wondering:
1) how often coins are "supposed to be" successfully minting? Ballpark?
2) Is there an explanation behind this relative rate or is it luck of the draw?
3) Of my 19 transactions, only one has successfully minted, even though 17 of those 19 are minting transactions. Why are so many "unconfirmed" as opposed to "not accepted" as the "transaction details" indicate?
I read someplace (and read once more within the wallet itself) that adding a small fee like .01 increases chances of being accepted into the blockchain. Tried that, and I am thinking that it led to the one transaction that WAS accepted, but since then, nothing!
When I review my transactions, only one of these has that check mark next to it - the rest of them have a question mark to the left and are "greyed out" and "unconfirmed."
I go ahead and click "transaction details," but below the transaction ID, the explanation seems a little vague to me.
It implies (and reads: "When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to "not accepted" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.")
I realize that this applies to blocks "not accepted" vs. those "unconfirmed" as mine seem to be. What's the deal? Why so many unconfirmed? I have 11 or 12 active connections at all times, I've never disconnected my ethernet connection, and I'm currently "minting" as per the icon at the bottom.
Any help at all would be great! Thanks in advance. Love this coin!
