Title: Anyway to speed up a non confermed transaction
Post by: Runtothehills231 on April 03, 2016, 10:48:41 PM
Was my first time and I wanted to test out sending a small amount to make sure I was correct but I send one to small now it's been stuck and I can't use any other coin I have . I relize my mistake but don't know how long it will take to come back to me or go threw any thing I can do?

It's a bit strange that the transaction has not been confirmed yet even though the fees are ok (0.0001BTC), to push it there are some method, by getting first the raw transaction by adding ?format=hex to the link
In you case it is:
Code:
01000000018e2768b3a499d058bde22bda732f9da95575c19898e2000eedfac1617272277b010000006a473044022053be9139558e02c080595410bdca1d282e46f709285f5fc83f2f4b35a6c315bc02204ec678efcff1a28d61ef4e1db2c70eba8d51518cda3db3be39fcf6ef4353fc2501210369d3a8f6c87f5460db493b7d0ccb34954c0e44fe36d0ffb4fdfd021e0a23dae0ffffffff0209000000000000001976a914661db6ab55ef8c09fa3fe72a84fc45bd77135d3e88acbe0fdf02000000001976a91432654350bb16eeed6775b63687fc43628f0d330688ac00000000

There are 6657 Unconfirmed Transactions, and the last block was mined 1 hour and 10 minute ago (before you made the transaction) so I think that it will be confirmed as soon as a block is mined.

You have a dust output of 0.00000009 BTC. This is insanely small and, because it is dust, is considered non-standard. This means that it is unlikely that your transaction will confirm soon. To not be sending dust, all of your transaction's outputs need to be greater than 2730 satoshis.

So if it won't be confermed soon then what can I do or when will it cancel or what. I'd hope I'm not stuck with out my money for ever

Unfortuantely a block was mined some minutes ago but the transaction was not confirmed, as knightdk said it is because of the dust, if it does not get confirmed for 2 or max 3 days the money will be send back to the sender.

So worst comes to worst since I sent it 24 hrs ago by tomorrow or the next day I'll be free to resend the full amount and all

It depends on the wallet you used. Some wallets, if you leave them open, will constantly rebroadcast the transaction. This means that to have the transaction dropped from the network (and thus have the Bitcoin sent back), you will need to shut down the wallet and not open it for a few days. If you used an online wallet, it depends on the service whether they will continue to broadcast the transaction. For example, blockchain.info will drop the transaction after three days thus allowing you to respend the Bitcoin after three days if you use blockchain.info's wallet.

Yes I sent it from my blockchain.info
So I guess three days

It might confirm by then so be careful about sending additional funds.
The transaction you did is a bit weird though, if I understand correctly you tried sending yourself 0.00000009 BTC (dust) as a test?

You won't be able to use these funds for a while since they won't confirm before this test transaction.

I think in most cases there's speed up fees, but I won't recommend you doing it.

I dident know anything about bitcoin was just learning on the fly so I had a blockchain walet with my coin in It and I have a coinbase account to sell what I wanna sell but I was nervous I'd send it to the wrong address n lose my 200 so I just did like a test send I dident know about dust and all that. I'm saying once it clears or goes back I'll be able to send most my coin to my coinbase account right?
