    Like spin a dead cat over your left shoulder and howl at the moon to send a bitcoin to me.

    I got the message
    I sent back a reply

    I wanna post some of the same message I sent you (minus the private stuff) , so others can also see this, as it pertains to a little bit of understanding how bitcoin transactions work and how it works thru a Bitcoin Miner especially.

    Okay this is written assuming that a Bitcoin Miner was involved in the transaction, but generally is same info for other bitcoin methods. But other methods are usually completed sooner.



    Use Blockchain Explorer and enter the bitcoin crypto address ID into the Search Bar found there on the website.
    You could also use the transaction ID or blockchain ID as well as the bitcoin crypto address.
    The options seen thru results may vary between these 3 choices.

    Okay lets say a Miner was used and so far no email or etc was received.
    So take that ID and enter it in the Explorer's search bar.

    In AeonFlux's case, the results all show as zero so far.

    Total Received: 0.00000000 BTC
    Total Sent: 0.00000000 BTC
    Final Balance: 0.00000000 BTC

    But that is okay, because there are results, which means that the ID is a valid number and has been entered on the blockchain system. If it was not a valid ID then there would be no results, instead there would be just a message that says there was an error in the search.

    'Total Received' is not the money you sent the Miner.
    The 'Total Received' is the amount of bitcoin that the Miner has mined up to this point (which is zero so far).

    Once he does start to add bitcoin to the amount mined, then it will show on that 'Total Received' line and this will increase till the correct amount is there (as he mines it), and also the 'Final Balance' will show the same amount.

    Once full amount has been mined then it gets sent to the vendor.
    At that point with a successful transaction, the 'Final Balance' will change from that full amount and again be shown as zero (because it was sent to vendor).

    Those Miners usually do not respond to emails (they may eventually), but thru that Blockchain Explorer you can somewhat track what is currently happening.

    Unhappy

    This method is driving me crazy. It's a short drive.
    Miners have still not yet contacted me back.
    The clock is ticking for my renewals and it is Friday the 13th.
    Please just shoot me.

    Please, Miners, mine me a bitcoin.

    Okay, Miner is on the job now.
    Checked my account to be certain he got paid. Yes. He did.
    I followed your method above for my bitcoin address.
    It says there are two blockchains, a BTC and a BCH
    I looked at both of them and see this ...

    Total Received: 0.00000000 BTC
    Total Sent 0.00000000 BTC
    Final Balance 0.00000000 BTC

    So, no bitcoin is moving yet?

    I had checked the blockchain early this morning too ( I figured I'd check on my own accord so I could let you know if things were moving)
    And yes, I saw same results.
    But with the contact you had with the Miner I would say that things will move now. Keep an eye on it.
    Open the Blockchain Explorer website and do a new search thru that search bar. That is best way to get correct results, as apposed to re-opening the old link with search results.

    Woo Hoo! The miners mined me a bitcoin. Actually, a very small fraction of a bitcoin.

    The blockchain moved and miracles happened.

    Thank you for your help.

    the amount may increase as these miners do add a little at a time, depending how fast they mine
    But the total due will only be a small fraction of one bitcoin
    A full bitcoin may be up around 10,000 dollars or higher.
    Today it is at....
    1 Bitcoin equals $20,925.32 Canadian Dollar

    So the final amount needed would be a very small fraction of one bitcoin.

    I will check on your order and send you a PM

    Ohh and one more item to know.
    When the Final Balance flips over to show zero again, then that means that the bitcoin full amount has been sent to vendor (the iptv service in this case)

    Thank you again for your kind help. Sure enough I am good now all the way.
    I sure do appreciate it.
    Bitcoin taxes what little sanity I have left.

    I wish there was a real simple written course for bitcoin dummies like me.

    AeonFlux.
