Title: Transaction taking a lot to confirm

It has never took this long to get confirmed before. Usually I send a higher fee but didn't remember and now it's stuck.

I've tried https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ with no luck so far.

Anything else I could try ?

Thank you.

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)

Hello achow101,

thank you for the quick reply.

I'd really like to get this transaction processed as soon as possible so I could pay for it to be confirmed if needed.

I'm using Blockchain currently.

I've already sent them a PM, thank you!

Unfortunately blockchain.info does not provide many advanced utility to allow for the creation and broadcasting of an RBF transaction, so your only options are to wait and ask the miners.

Alright, I'll do so then.

Thank you!
