Title: Transaction unconfirmed after many hours :/
Post by: CryptoExchange.fr on February 22, 2017, 10:19:56 PM
Hi,

I am a french beginner with Bitcoin transaction.

Since this morning, a friend sent some bitcoins to another wallet but the transaction is still unconfirmed : https://blockchain.info/en/tx/4dbe747044f6dd930b6d9b95aa71b7148d8acabab3cc3510f015cd076fd4ef8a?show_adv=true

Have you an idea concerning this problem ? Will the bitcoins arrive ?

Thank you for your help / time.

Best, regards

You/your friend set the transaction fees too low.
You could try this transaction accelerator to fix this (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/)
Look here (https://bitcoinfees.21.co/) or enable "dynamic transaction fee" setting in order get the right fee.

There are two problems with this transaction. First, it spends from another unconfirmed transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/fe448ce6e1f8b1f706c33c28c2286d6fedcfc3cc1a5077353d7f8124b4d3dfde which means that it won't be able to confirm until this transaction confirms as well. Secondly both of these transactions have a low transaction fee.

Your only options are to wait and hope it confirms, wait for the transaction to be "forgotten" by the network, or ask a miner to confirm it for you.

For the third 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) You can also try using https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to "accelerate" your transaction.

Thank you both for your answer.

So, how many, in the futur, shiuld we use for secure transaction ?

Does these accelerators really work ?

Thanks again !

(Have you an idea of how long does it take to confirm this kind of "low-fees" transaction ?

Best regards,

As achow pointed out, you have to wait for the transactions into your address to confirm before you can send tese other transaction.
For a fast transaction, you should check the recommendation in my previouspost of the https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ website.

You can always ask the users here as there are at least three transactions that need confirming here so asking users here might make it a bit faster.
