Title: 4 days and counting
Post by: whereyamamiat on May 22, 2017, 05:18:39 PM
So I used the blockchain wallet...i jacked the fees up on purpose and all that did was made the size huge and the fee small compared...at what point does it get returned ? Ive tried and failed to get it through on the accelerator  ..the paid options dont make sense since its not a huge payment but just trying to figure the  end game.

It doesn't get returned. If it doesn't confirm at all, you haven't sent any according to the blockchain. Pray it disappears from all mempools.

blockchain.info wallet appears to keep rebroadcasting transactions... not sure if it does it only when you log back in to the wallet, or if it just does it automatically for at set intervals.

Seems you had quite a number of dust sized UTXOs in your wallet... every one of those adds at least 148 bytes (and as much as 180 bytes) to a transaction... even with blockchain.info's retarded low fee of 100 sats/byte, any UTXO that is less than 14,800 sats, actually costs more to send than the transaction is worth... 148 bytes * 100 sats/byte = 14800 sats...

you had:

1EUgShuogtGmh57Q7hzs2dskCnUTptZyRG (0.00002021 BTC - Output)
1MQNbdUrG3e4iNvPfH3pmVw2eKBMup2yt9 (0.00000557 BTC - Output)
1PGWQdzKixdsh4X79fzPCXX1dWwjx2oAXD (0.0000173 BTC - Output)
17T5oYsZD5GcKXNo97ggFqew97LePkSwEV (0.00000571 BTC - Output)

That's 2021 sats, 557 sats, 1730 sats and 571 sats... those 4 inputs make up at least 592 bytes and only total 4879 sats... but would use 59,200 sats to send...   :o ::) :-\

As HCP pointed out if it does stop rebroadcasting send around 0.0195 and keep the change in your wallet.
By avoiding the change addresses you can lower the per byte fee and get a larger total output.

From 929 bytes to 225 bytes with the same fee you have it would become 431.63 sat/b with 271-300 sat/b being the guaranteed block confirmation fee your output would be larger than it is currently otherwise you will need to wait for the viabtc pool to find a block.

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ (You need to get to 121-150 sats to see a quicker confirm)

Total Input   0.0202529 BTC
Total Output   0.0192817 BTC

Persistence wears off, looks like its now 17 blocks in and confirmed so you can lock the thread.
