Title: Electrum transaction stuck due to low fee. Tried almost every solution i found.
Post by: NickFill on May 04, 2017, 02:55:52 PM
Hello everyone. As the title says, im having problems with a transaction. Spend the past two hours digging through solutions but nothing seems to work.

I use Electrum which marks the transaction with an attention mark and says low fee. Tried CPFP but it fails. When i input a reasonable fee, it says "Max Fee Exceeded" (while i have more balance in my wallet).
If i put a fee within the range Electrum accepts it, it gives me a 64:dust error.
Transaction seems to have been dropped from blockchain since it's already a couple days old but i uploaded it again manually.
Changing servers doesn't work.
Deleting the wallet and retrieving it through seed doesn't work.
A few other methods i can't recall, still didn't work.

Sorry if the text is hastily written but im starting to get frustrated with this thing.

Transaction ID
7c6fae0f73ecdd45eecd0571a742b62f2469a5dbb3b1107d0f42bc6cc596fe67

Thanks...

Make sure you are on the latest version of Electrum and enable Dynamic Fees in the options to help ensure accurate sized fees are being used.

Transaction 7c6fae0f73ecdd45eecd0571a742b62f2469a5dbb3b1107d0f42bc6cc596fe67 doesn't appear to exist as it looks to have already been doublespent. Did you respend the inputs already?

Edit: looks like you respent them in 47834f495cc7c9d766b197548b1cb8198ffcf265a34345d8dc5d99fccdd02ef1 but used a low fee again. You can try respending them again and setting a proper sized fee or you may want to try pushing this transaction through ViaBTC Accelerator ( https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ ) . They are currently over submissions so you would need to wait for the next hour.

Quit using low fees. Use the latest Electrum and use the high fee option when asked, also mark all new transactions as replaceable so if you go cheap on the fee you can bump it up later. Right now you might have to pay btc.com to push this transaction (https://pushtx.btc.com/#/).
