Title: Pending Transaction
Post by: Pi_Rat on July 11, 2015, 06:29:06 PM
Made a transaction yesterday July 10 and the transaction is still pending coming up 24 hours later. Transaction ID# e357752dd8e6b49ece3ebe76f78d912824f414fa3325a2365697f0c78c82de0e It's coming up on 24 hours is there a way to call this transaction back? Also I had a higher transaction fee of .0001 entered and when I clicked send the wallet recommended a lower transaction fee. Naturally I accepted the recommended lower fee. And now here I am trying to figure out how to get my .3542 BTC back.  ??? Would switching servers prevent this? All help appreciated, thank you.

Switching servers wouldn't work. The transaction will eventually come through if you wait... But if you're in a hurry you can try and double spend the transaction with a bigger fee, or try some service like this (http://www.bitundo.com/) (Disclaimer: never used them, not sure how they work of they work)

Thanks for the response. I'm not that proficient with using the Electrum Wallet to perform a double spend. and it sounds like a stunt I don't want to attempt with the amount or my level of experience. I would hate to lose the entire amount. But since we are on the topic I do have other addresses that are mine that I can try this. If I try this route both transactions get rejected by the miners? Or does one get accepted and one gets denied? I might quickly reach a point that I want to somehow coerce the BTC back into my wallet. And then how would I go about a double spend? Would I just send the same amount again, because technically the amount is still in my wallet and I can do that right? And then what happens with the pending transaction?
