Why Bitcoin confirmations fit take longer
Bitcoin dey add new blocks for steady pace on purpose, slower than most newer networks, and each block get limited space. When plenty people dey send at the same time, transactions dey wait for queue, and miners dey pick the ones wey offer higher fees first. So the fee wey your wallet attach dey directly affect how fast your payment go confirm.
HelloSIM dey issue the eSIM when the payment confirm for blockchain and e no dey promise any specific number of minutes. For real life, e mean say:
- Transfer wey you send with very low fee fit sit unconfirmed for long time when network dey busy.
- Most wallets dey give you choice of fee levels. For purchase wey you dey wait for, the economy setting no too dey worth the small money wey e go save you.
- The payment request dey open for 1 hour, so send am early inside that window, no wait for the last minutes.

Tips for smooth BTC payment
A few habits fit stop almost every problem wey people dey meet when dem dey pay with Bitcoin.
- Match the amount exactly. If you send less than the amount wey dem show, the payment fit stay incomplete. The miner fee na your own to pay on top, so check if your wallet dey add the fee or e dey remove am from wetin you dey send.
- Watch exchange withdrawals. Plenty exchanges dey cut their withdrawal fee from the amount and dem dey process withdrawals for batches, wey dey add waiting time before the transfer even reach the network.
- Pick the right withdrawal network. Some exchanges dey give many networks for BTC. Use the one wey match wetin the payment page show.
- Use the address for the page wey dey your front. No reuse address from earlier order.
- Buy before you travel. Validity dey start when the eSIM first connect to network for your destination, no be when you buy am, so you no go lose anything if you pay some days before.
Bitcoin good for small eSIM purchase?
E dey work, and if BTC na wetin you get, no reason to convert am first. The one thing wey you need sabi na say Bitcoin miner fee no dey reduce with the size of the payment, so for small order e go take bigger share of wetin you dey spend.
Two ways dey to go round am. If you get other coins too, the payment page dey offer about 100 coin and network options, including Litecoin and stablecoins for networks wey dem know for low fees. Or you fit make one single Bitcoin transfer to add money to your HelloSIM wallet, from €1.00 up, then pay for eSIMs and top-ups from that balance instantly. One transfer, one miner fee, plenty purchases.
If the request expire or the eSIM no arrive
If the hour finish before you send, no use the old address. Go back to checkout and start new payment request. Never send money go expired request.
If you don send the payment and e don confirm but eSIM never arrive, check the email address wey you put and your spam folder, then contact HelloSIM support with your order email and the transaction ID from your wallet. Remember say all sales na final: eSIM na digital product and dem no fit refund am once dem don deliver am, except if verified technical fault dey wey HelloSIM no fit resolve.
