360 Bitcoin Accelerator: what is actually still working in 2026

If you searched for the 360 Bitcoin Accelerator you probably got there through a listicle. Mudrex listed it in July 2021. AMBCrypto listed it in October 2023 and refreshed the piece in May 2025, still calling it a free service that has sped up over a thousand transactions. BTCC, Bitkan and Traders Union carry near identical paragraphs. None of them link to a test. So we ran one.

Everything below is what the page at cryptocurrency360.com/bitcoin-accelerator showed on 10 October 2026, read line by line, plus the arithmetic the page leaves out.

What the page offers today

Two things stand out. The free service that every listicle describes is not available, and the page does not say since when. And the paid service does not name a single mining pool, which matters because pool acceleration only works when the pool mining your transaction actually finds blocks. A claim of partner pools with no partner named cannot be checked by anyone.

The offline notice has been there a long time

The page text still calls the free tool "100% Free to Use" in one paragraph and unavailable in the next. The image paths on the page date from 2023 and 2024 and nothing on it carries a publication or update date. Our reading is that the free form was switched off well before the listicles were last refreshed, and the listicles never checked.

Three other things called 360 that are not this

The name causes real confusion in search results, and some of the pages ranking for it describe a different product entirely.

• 360accelerator.org is a nonprofit that runs peer groups for public school leaders in the United States. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin, and its headline is about relationships and capacity, not transactions.
• Bitcoin 360 AI is an automated trading product with a long trail of complaints about unsolicited phone calls. It does not accelerate anything and should not be confused with a rebroadcast tool.
• Q&A pages about "360 mining" tie the name to the Chinese security company 360 and a browser mining feature from years ago. Also unrelated.

If you are looking at a page and it does not have a transaction ID box on it, you are not looking at the accelerator.

What the $25 would actually buy

The paid option resends your transaction every fifteen minutes. Here is the uncomfortable mechanics of that. A Bitcoin node that already holds a transaction ignores a second copy. Every node does. So resending a transaction that has already propagated does precisely nothing, whether you do it once or every fifteen minutes for a week. Rebroadcasting only helps a transaction that never reached the network or was dropped from mempools, and in both of those cases you can do it yourself in seconds for free.

Now the price. On 10 October 2026 the measurements behind this site read:

Take a typical stuck transaction, 140 virtual bytes paying 0.15 sat/vB, which is where most stuck transactions sit today. Lifting it to the 1 sat/vB median costs 0.85 sat/vB times 140 vB, about 119 sats. At the measured price that is roughly ten cents.

$25 is about 30,200 sats. So the flat fee is around 250 times the real shortfall of the transaction it would be bought for, and that is before noting that the fee goes to the accelerator, not to the miner, so it does not raise the transaction's fee rate by a single satoshi.

Who it would make sense for, in theory

Being fair to the idea rather than the page: there is one real case for paying a third party. You received the coins, the sender is an exchange that will not bump the fee, you have no change output to spend, and the money genuinely cannot wait fourteen days. Then you want a pool with real hashrate to include the transaction out of band.

That case still argues against this particular service. A pool backed accelerator names the pool, because the pool's share of blocks is the whole product. ViaBTC names itself and you can watch its blocks arrive. Our review of every paid accelerator lists which services have named, checkable hashrate behind them and which do not. A page that says "trusted partners" and stops is not in the first group.

The listicle problem

The pages that sent you here were written to rank, not to test. One of them has not been touched since 2021. The one that was refreshed in 2025 repeated the 1,000 transaction figure from the accelerator's own page without checking whether the form still worked. The same pattern holds across the category: we found several recommended accelerators that are entirely dead when we checked each one.

A useful rule: before you pay any accelerator, paste a transaction ID into its free tool and see whether anything happens. If the free tool does not work, the paid one is not going to be checked by anyone either.

What to do instead

1. Find out whether the transaction is actually stuck. Paste the ID into the checker on this site. It reads the effective fee rate including unconfirmed parents, compares it against the live next block rate, and tells you whether waiting is the right answer. On most days it is.
2. If the fee is genuinely too low and you sent it, bump it with RBF from your own wallet. It costs the shortfall, which is usually pocket change.
3. If you received it, spend the incoming output with a high fee. The child drags the parent in with it.
4. If no explorer can find the transaction, it never propagated or it was dropped. Push the raw hex to many nodes, free, through this site or by hand. This is the one case where a rebroadcast is the right tool.
5. Only then consider a paid pool accelerator, and only one that names its pool.

The bottom line

The 360 Bitcoin Accelerator of the listicles, a free rebroadcast tool, does not exist right now. The page sells a $25 resend instead, through pools it does not name, with no refund terms, for a job that is free everywhere else and usually unnecessary. Spend the ten cents on the fee instead, or spend nothing and wait for the block.
