Title: unconfirmed transaction for almost four days..
Post by: Geraldt79 on February 24, 2017, 04:44:11 PM
Hi all,

my first "send" transaction is still unconfirmed - for allmost four days now...

https://blockchain.info/tx/0448ff563e6b84f26bcbaf27c0c0d7ee0c04891b6d93ad3026d43752c417ff2e

blockchain. info shows me a date from yesterday, originally i had send the transaction at Monday, 21 february...
How can this happen?

I use the electrum client 2.7.18

 Any hints what i can do? What is the reason?

Can i cancel the transaction? Or is it a way to speed it up?

Please help :(

Cheers

use viaBTC acceleration tool. (I tried just now but it's full)
check for recommended fee before sending - https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

You have been outbid in the fee auction all this time, if transaction rate doesn't go down, and consequentially the fee required, your transaction will never confirm.

As of now you need to pay 3x the fee you've paid to have your transaction included.

It's certainly because of transaction traffic. Ususally, smaller amount takes slower to be confirmed. What we can do about that is to wait.
