Title: Can I pay a pool directly to confirm a tx? Post by: Gimmefive on June 18, 2016, 02:03:35 AM I received a payment of roughly 5500 bytes but the sender only used a fee of 5 sat/byte so it has been sitting unconfirmed for almost 3 days. Is there a way to pay someone to seek out this tx and include it in a block?
Title: Re: Can I pay a pool directly to confirm a tx? Post by: VirosaGITS on June 18, 2016, 04:15:04 AM It is possible to talk to a pool operator.. I think Kano has done this in the past. You'd think there would be a "bribe a pool" service by now. I think there is an actual wallet with a feature to add a fee to be collected if a targeted TX is included.
Post in Kano's tread, maybe. If not hopefully someone can link you the guide. Title: Re: Can I pay a pool directly to confirm a tx?

You may be able to simply cancel it and resend it.Bitcoin core includes a command "abandontransaction", but I've never used it and don't know the requirements.

Unfortunately I am the receiver not sender Title: Re: Can I pay a pool directly to confirm a tx? Post by: mb300sd on June 18, 2016, 04:10:56 PM There's a pool or 2 that use child-pays-for-parent. Try sending the output of the tx to another address with a high fee - enough to cover the size of the original tx + itself.

Try sending the output of the tx to another address with a high fee - enough to cover the size of the original tx + itself. I tried doing this but my wallet only lets me set "high priority" and I only sent a relatively small amount of the received amount (but more than what was originally in the wallet, so part of the output that I received). Unfortunately that didn't work. Then I sent some of the unconfirmed received amount to a wallet where I can choose any amount for the fee....then I sent a transaction with $10 in fees from that other wallet. Still nothing. |
