Title: [SOLVED] Transaction Stucked
Post by: Dudeperfect on December 29, 2016, 03:54:11 PM
I recently tried to top up my Namecheap account with $1 and send BTC according to it but the transaction has still 0 confirmations.

https://blockchain.info/tx/9444e4a907126c7e27a84f2b5dea6883ac8ebfe50a77142ae5b85c60cbf5e48a

Can someone help?

The fee is lower than the recommended fee of 90 satoshi per byte.  According to https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ a transaction with 57 satoshi/byte fee will take anywhere from 15 to 480 minutes to confirm.

To be honest I have not much knowledge in technical aspects but if I have to send more fees then what to do in such case? Thanks for the help

ps : The included fee was recommened by blockchain.info web wallet.

Set the fee to the recommended amount.  Which is 90 satoshi per byte or 0.0009 per KB (shown on the site I linked).

However, the last time I used blockchain.info the site doesn't even show the fee per kb, only the recommended amount.  If it's still the same then you're pretty much blind.

Edit:
Yup, it's still the same.  All you can do is blindly increasing the fee or get another wallet software that shows the fee per KB (I recommend electrum.

Yes, they show the recommended amount and not the fees per KB or so. Alternatively, there is an option to set custom fees while making any transaction.

Is there any way to speed up the stucked transaction by sending more fees?

You can contact Quickseller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358020) or macbook-air (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=16114) or some other miners and ask them to help you get that transaction confirmed.  They will probably ask for a small payment.

I've "accelerated" your transaction through ViaBTC, so it should appear in the next block they mine.

You can also try speeding up the confirmations by using CPFP (child pays for parent), and spend the change from the transaction you posted with a higher fee. Not all pools use CPFP though.

Thank you very much.

Thank you ver much, transaction is confirmed. As I said, I don't have much knowledge about transaction technicalities but I will learn more about it.


Locking this thread as transaction is confirmed now.
