Welcome. Thats an address, you are probably refering to this[1] transaction. The fee (0.0001 BTC) is fine for the size (225 bytes), the problem is that one of the outputs (the coins send if you will) is considered dust (anything below 2730 satoshi currently) because its only 0.00000009 or 9 satoshi. This makes your transaction get rejected by most nodes of the network.

The amount is too low, I think your satoshi have become dust.

My advice is to use a large miner fee to ensure the TX goes fast and never send an amount below your fee, this will ensure smooth block chaining! bitcoin is a magical currency if you need any help with facets of bitcoin or alt coin just shoot me a pm.

The fee is not the problem here, the problem is for the TX to reach a miner that is mining dust transactions. Most network nodes will not relay dust transactions.

Also by offering advice via PM you remove the chance for someone more knowledgeable to correct you. There is always someone that knows more and posting public answers and questions exposes you to those people that help can you actually understand bitcoin in its details.

IIRC blockchain.info lets you double spend the TX after 3 days.

So I can use the rest of my bank roll?

No, its tied up in the change output.

You might have a chance by contacting one of the mining pools, but they usually require you to have a code.

E.g. https://www.f2pool.com/pushtx
Your TX in raw format can be found here -> https://blockchain.info/de/tx/47f2d2676221ef7c43563fd54f834376072252dca4368ac0f4076e6ae4b96927?format=hex

The last person that had a similar problem contacted the OP on their thread here[1]. It was eventually mined by a different pool though so I dont know if that helped or not.
