If your Bitcoin has not arrived yet, it is usually caused by:
network confirmations
transaction delays
wallet processing times
In most cases, the transaction is still processing and the Bitcoin is not lost.
𧞠Finding the Transaction ID (TXID)
To check a Bitcoin transaction, first locate the:
transaction ID (TXID)
or transaction details
inside your wallet or 1Bitcoin.ca account.
The TXID is a unique identifier used to track the transaction on the blockchain.
đ Using a Blockchain Explorer
You can paste the TXID into a blockchain explorer such as:
mempool.space
blockchain.com/explorer
This allows you to view:
confirmation count
transaction status
network fee details
sending and receiving addresses
Blockchain explorers display information directly from the Bitcoin network.
âł Understanding Confirmations
Bitcoin transactions usually require confirmations before the receiving wallet considers the transaction complete.
A transaction marked as:
pending
unconfirmed
processing
may still be waiting for confirmations from the Bitcoin network.
