Freaking out - missing bitcoin from Circle?

I bought some bitcoin from circle today ( i normally use coinbase). Anyway, it seemed soo much easier than coinbase until i tried to send it to my electrum wallet. I scanned the QR code and sent the bitcoin....

However it has now been over an hour and there are no confirmations and my transaction on the block chain is just showing as an unconfirmed transaction? However the amount is showing on my electrum wallet just that it isnt confirmed??

Whats going on?? Im really freaking out!!

Blockchain must be slow, as long as it shows as an unconfirmed its there and it will go..can take hours sometimes.

Did you enter the 2FA confirmation code? When you try to withdraw from circle it will send you a 6 digit code on your phone that you have to enter before the transaction is sent to the blockchain. Sounds like you might not have entered it.

What kind of transaction fee did you/circle include to send it? If the fee is missing or very low (0.00002 BTC as an example) it can take as long as three days to get included in a block, or it may not get mined at all. If you need your coins sent quickly, always try to include a proper fee (0.0002 BTC or more, at the moment - this may increase in the future).

Blockchain has been wonky like that for a couple days. I sent like 90 bucks to nucleus and it took 2 hours and then when I sent like 5 bucks back to my electrum it took like 5 minutes for the first confirmation and to show up in my wallet.

At least you sent it to the right place. ITs fine. The fee was either very low and thus is lower priority or network is just acting slow. Also, I swear, but certain wallets are fucking slow as shit. Transactions coming from Coinbase always seem to be much, much slower than other wallets. Pisses me off.
