If, after how long?

Like, do they come back to my wallet? I heard 72 hours somewhere?

Could you please elaborate more because i hardly understand regarding onto your query but if you are talking about delay confirmation of your transfered bitcoin then it will surely come into your account but on delay confirmation because you did put small amount of transaction fee which means it do have less priority by miners compared to those who put average-high fee on each transfer.

I think you may be talking about pending bitcoin in your wallet. If that is the case then there is really nothing you can do at this very moment because the miners determine which transactions they want to put into a block and which ones they don't.
I suggest that you take a look at a transaction pushing tool called viabtc accelerator.

Link is: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

There is also one made by BTC.com but it's paid to use. This one's free but you have to wait till ViaBTC mines a block.

Yeah no, I sent a guy some btc and he claims he dident recieve it. So if it is stuck, will I eventuelly get it back? Or will it continue to send the btc to him when the miners choose my block?

I think he put too small or none transaction fee. It will last 48 or 72 hours i don't remember exactly probably 48 hours, that if this transaction won't be confirmed, your bitcoins will be released to send again.

You can provide the transaction id that you send the Bitcoin to that guy.Or just pushed your transaction via transaction accelerator in viabtc.

Be carefull with that, after giving out tx id you wiill expose amount of transaction and your bitcoin balance. U can do that, but u should know that first.

If the amount have got deducted from the wallet then it won't come back to the wallet unless your friend return it to you. I think based on the transaction fee you might get delayed confirmation. Recently a large number of transactions got stuck on the network, which has been sought on update.

First Provide or check the btc address which you sent the bitcoins. Therefore, here people can check and help you know the issue behind it. To say simply without the btc address. It might be very low fees for the transaction. Ask him to check once. It might get transferred as of now.

It sends it back. But the second time it happened to me it resent it untill it went through. It happened because I used too small fee for the transactions size. It's not worth trying to save a little bit of BTC it just gets​ frustrating so better to pay a better mining fee.

When do I get it back? Waited 72 hours soon :( Used localbitcoins.com if it matters. Changing wallet after this tho.

there is no fixed time for it. 72 hours is an approximate time.

here is how it works:
when you send a transaction out, bitcoin nodes receive it and keep it in their memory (remember it) called memory pool (mempool) and the default setting by bitcoin core is to keep it for up to 72 hours and then drop it (forget about it). but it is not enforced to do so, that time can be changed to shorter or longer time and not all nodes have same settings or run same clients.

it is bitcoin so you can not claim you didn't receive funds! everything is out there for everyone to see, go to a block-explorer and search his bitcoin address you can see if he received it or not.

and being stuck can have many reasons, but usually is because you paid a very low fee but there is still a possibility it goes through.

Wait... so, is it just him claiming that he didn't receive it, or is it actually showing as pending?
Because if he's just claiming that, you probably got scammed.
