Title: I sent bitcoins with low fee (Electrum), 0 confirms [you can delete this thread]
Post by: taxik on January 26, 2017, 05:14:13 PM
Hello,

i've recently sent bitcoins (from wallet1) with low transaction fee (0.00001BTC) (to wallet2) and after 24 hours, there is still 0 confirmations and Electrum says low fee warning. I was so nervous, i tried send unconfirmed Bitcoins from wallet2 to next adress in with wallet2 (0.0009BTC)

I read somewhere its possible to cancel the unconfirmed transaction, but i don't know how to do it in Electrum. I am very stupid, so i would be really grateful, if you can help me.

Thanks !

Post the txid. You can't just cancel a transaction but you can wait for the nodes to drop it. Once the transaction is dropped by most nodes including the server that you're using you should be able to create and broadcast another transaction with higher fee.

I don't think the mods will remove your thread for you.
Here's how it's done:
1. On the OP (original post) you should see a button that says "delete" (hit that) and click OK!
method 2.
If the first method doesn't work, scoll to the bottom left corner and click, "move topic" - move it to archive board.
