slow bitcoin transactions

hey, whenever im sending or receiving bitcoins for some reason it always takes over 30 minutes to confirm. I was using blockchain and now changed to circle to see if it would make a difference but its still the same. Is there any way to speed up the process?

edit - Gyazo - e0b4b7bc26dfd5b5abe37b9f944c9145.png took 193 minutes to recieve this and it was only $5

 

in my experience anyone i've received btc from that's used Circle has always had the slowest transactions, blockchain being almost instant though

 

yeah i like blockchain better anyway was just testing to see if the speed was different.

 

Its slow because the people that are sending you on blockchain aren't clicking Advanced send. The more fees you pay= the faster it is

 

Thing is before it use to be fine its only recently like the past 10 days its become slower. i sent the same amount in fees as i always did but its still slower then before.

If anyone else knows why this is happening hmu.

 

Switched over from circle to coinbase and sending btc is much faster now.

The $300/week buy limit is killing me though

 

Thanks will give it a shot probably today or tomorrow to see how it is.

 

It's still better than the banking system .

If the transaction doesn't have to be bitcoin, you might want to look into Ethereum. The transaction time is considerably quicker. I think for btc is should be around 10 minutes. But if you say it has been slower over the past 10 days. Maybe the halving had something to do with it?
