Title: Help! Bitcoin Transactions Stuck in Unconfirmed > 16 hours
Post by: BTCMORGAN on February 06, 2017, 09:44:34 PM
Here are two transaction which I placed one minute apart yesterday that are still stuck as unconfirmed for over 16 hours now.  I inputted them into viabtc 6 hours ago to speed them to no avail.   What options do I have to push them through?   It is very bizarre because all the transactions I made an hour prior to that have over 80 confirmations.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll put these through on viabtc but usually if the fee is too low you're going to just have to wait and pray on one of the confirmations coming into this transcation, sucks but that's how it works.

I did it on both of them and it succeed and you can try it here if you'd like too, just take everything after /TX/ in the two links you provided.

Thanks  Hardtime.  I appreciate the help but I already tried  viabtc hours ago and it said that they were successful as you indicated, but for some reason, they still won't get confirmed. I'm just hoping it's not some sort of technical issue and they're going to be stuck in limbo forever.

Your second transaction depends on the first transaction, so it cannot confirm until the first one does. Your first transaction pays a relatively low fee rate of ~57 satoshis/byte. According to https://bitcoinfees.github.io/#30m the current recommended fee rate to confirm within the next block is 180 satoshis/byte.

You have a few options here. You can wait and hope it confirms, wait for the transaction to be "forgotten" by the network, attempt a double spending transaction that pays a higher fee, or ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For the third option, we need to know what wallet software you are using.

For the fourth option, you can contact the users Quickseller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020) and macbook-air. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=16114)
