Title: Paid low fee by accident, how to proceed?
Post by: DarkHyudrA on April 14, 2017, 11:17:16 PM
Paid a VERY small amount of fee on a transaction, now it got stuck for days and blockchain even pruned it from its database.
Any way I can "revert" it, even though it was propagated to the network?

The transaction you posted was not exist base on blockchain.info explorer but when I tried on blockexplorer.com it shows and now when I tried to push it on viabtc it show transaction does not exist. I bet the network send it back to your wallet cause of small fee. Try to have normal/recommended fee in any transaction when you want to send again next time.

Send the same transaction with a higher fee. Another option would be to use a third party to help out but I forget their name and it costs you some Satoshis either way so I say why not do it yourself. It'll show up as a double spend (because it is) but once the higher fee tx confirms you're good to go.

The transaction is still listed as unconfirmed, maybe in the next days it will get rejected in the whole network then?

Every node has different rules and some transaction may not be accepted by different mempools around the network depending on their rules. ViaBTC tend to have a higher fee limit and hence it won't be included in their mempool. However, this does not mean that the entire network has dropped your transaction, its just a few nodes.

If no one rebroadcasts it, then it would probably be dropped in a few days. What wallet are you using?
