Bought Food Online & Paid with Bitcoin - Bitpay Delays Transaction!
<center>![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZMjFRN5NRUGAkefjqqHikuH9fP8jNXZcRwgcUNhDukma/image.png)</center>

---

I made a really stupid mistake when ordering Chinese food through Takeaway.com and choosing Bitcoin as my payment method. These Bitcoin payments are handled through Bitpay and I had forgotten that you basically need to just copy the transaction into Electrum and leave everything as is. 

Now my mistake was changing the fee and having 'Replace by Fee' on by default, which caused the transaction to be delayed. Meaning that I had to wait until I'd gotten a couple of confirmations before the transaction was processed. 

Since it can take quite some time before you get a couple of confirmations, I had to wait an additional 45 minutes before the order was accepted. You can imagine that I felt really stupid for messing with the settings in my Electrum wallet, though I do think that Bitcoin could have mentioned something about this on their payment page.

So, after 2 hours the food finally arrived and I don't think I've ever enjoyed Chinese food as much as today. To be fair, I think I would have enjoyed just about anything after that two hour waiting time... 

### Have you ever ordered food with Bitcoin? Let me know in the comment section!

I couldn't part with any of my BTC yet, it seems so undervalued. Not that I have a lot, most is in SP here.

I get it weekly for my posts at the Bitcoin forum, so I don't mind spending a little bit when I can. I like to support businesses that accept Bitcoin, I'm not spending all the Bitcoins I have though :)

Nice what was the transaction fee? Nice to know I order sometimes at the platform is it with every participant of Takeaway.com?

The transaction fee was 0.00002 BTC, since I use a Segwit address :) 

What do you mean by 'participant'? You mean restaurants or the different local Takeaway.com websites?

In 7 years that bit coin you used today will be worth 64 million dollars.   Well, maybe if hyperinflation kicks in.

Doesn't matter to me, I paid a couple of Bitcons for a Samsung Galaxy s5, back in 2013. So I know the feeling already :D 

Or here's also an old purchase of mine from back in 2014. Check the Bitcoin price at the bottom :)

Would it have been the same process if you had used Litecoin?  Just curious.   We don't have a lot of opportunity for this sort of thing in the States like you folks do over in Europe.

We can't pay with Litecoin using Bitpay, but I don't think that Litecoin would have the same sort of issues. 
Confirmations are a lot faster on Litecoin, so it would have confirmed after like 5 minutes.
