Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

I have problem. I sent bitcoins almost 30 hours ago. Still not confirmed. I know that fee is low but in past i was always using same and didnt have any problem.
Fee is 0.0001 btc.

Any miner can help me? Please

Details about transactions are here : https://blockchain.info/tx/78e4ddacc04a0a52ad6deef8cc067c1922a0532fec2fa07593ad60eb47472c64

The state of the Bitcoin network is constantly changing. What worked in the past may not necessarily work in the future. In the past, low fee and free transactions worked, now they do not.

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)

I am using Multibit. I think i dont have that kind option to resend it or make fee higher. I hope any miner will help me.

What kind of fee should i give every payment? It depends on how much bitcoin i send or what?
What fee should be for 1 btc , what fee for 10 btc for example ?

There is an option called "Repair wallet". This will clear out any and all unconfirmed transaction from the wallet. Once you do that, you can resend the Bitcoin but with a higher fee. Note that it may still take a little while because it is technically a double spend, but it should confirm sooner than the original transaction.

You can also ask the two users I linked earlier for help as they are miners.

I dont see this option. I am using 0.5.19 version. Not newest one.
I will wait and I hope any miner will help me.

I don't know much about Multibit hence I am proposing a different solution to this problem using Electrum.

You can export the private keys of your input addresses from Multibit and import them into Electrum which will bring back the unconfirmed balance.
Electrum doesn't look for unconfirmed transactions when you import an address so you should be able to resend your transaction with a higher fee using Electrum.

My knowledge is so less i dont want to try anything... i hope for any miner... please help me miners :)

I have had BTC take much longer than 30 hours to send, especially if the wallet is still building the block chain.

This doesn't appear to be the case with the OP since his transaction already made it to the mempool and awaiting confirmation.

@bikerleszno: Its really easy to do yourself but if you want I can walk you through the process if you go with the Electrum route.

Electrum doesnt want to run on my windows lol... cant open it...

is it so hard to find miner here ? :(

Which version of Windows are you using? What error do you get when trying to run Electrum?

Try the portable version of Electrum and see if that works for you.

OK I got first confirmations. Thank you everyone. Moderator can close this thread ;)
