Title: electrum zapwallettx or something similar to help fix unconfirmed transactions
Post by: johnny508 on July 27, 2016, 08:12:41 PM
hi,

i have several tx that i sent from electrum that have been sitting unconfirmed for 24 hours+.

i used a fee of about .0001 btc which I've never had issues with.

i understand core has a feature that could possibly resolve known as zapwallettx=2 or something like that.

is there something similar i can do with electrum to help clear this up?  the problem is that there is a "chain" of tx that seems to be clogging up subsequent tx's.  any help would really be appreciated as I'm told all i can do is wait.

thanks!

There's none. Electrum doesn't continually rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions like bitcoin core so deleting a transaction won't do a thing except making it gone from your history.

any tricks ud suggest looking into to try to resolve outside of electrum?

do u think I'm best just waiting it out a week or two?  most ppl seem to say that it'll resolve itself and cancel the transactions (or confirm) given enough waiting time.

thnx for the quick reply!

They're right. All you need to do is wait for it to confirm. I don't know if electrum servers will drop a transaction once a certain time has passed so not sure about the canceling part.

Unconfirmed TX should be gone if you restore from seed.
