When Your Wallet Fails

I'm not one given to complains, especially when things are not working. I see myself as a 'solutionist'. Once there is an issue, i find a solution and get it fixed.

Bitcoin has been growing in leaps and bounds since the split. I remember a few weeks ago when we had to pay ridiculous mining fees and still wait for several hours before getting confirmation for bitcoin transactions. It waa during that period that I, out of frustration, abandoned my blockchain and coinbase wallets and started using mycelium. Mycelium was a dream come true that after the issue on tge blockchain was resolved, I continued to use Mycelium, until it started misbehaving since 3 weeks now.

Though I experienced 4 major confirmation delays at different times, the horse that broke the camel's back was a transaction I did around 10am Friday morning that just got confirmed this afternoon. 48 hours of delay.

What I've done is to migrate to Paxful. I'll use it for a few days and do a review on it. For now, my Mycelium wallet has gone the way of its predeccesdors (inactive). Paxful, here I come.
