Title: Unconfirmed Parent? - Electrum Transaction
Post by: doubletornetjeez on May 23, 2017, 04:36:21 PM
Hi guys.

I used Electrum 2.17.18 to make a transaction.

My transaction ID: b47dee7788a259e414ba6b175558c0943eefb539e4c58399cc2d253745f65308

I have a transaction marked as "Unconfirmed parent". This makes no sense to me as all my incoming transactions are confirmed.

I have attached a transaction fee of about 0.008BTC/kB which is an extremely high fee so I know that the fee is not the cause of this error.

Does anyone know why my transaction is marked as "Unconfirmed parent" for so long?

Any idea how long it'll stay like this? Any solutions?



Additional info:

 I had made a LOW FEE transaction prior to this which is still not confirmed. Not sure if this has anything to do with my problem.

The transaction ID for this is: 0f685856b0169f7b8a78d7bbbe346c44970d1fc2e9977d9f16b21ca06294aa35

I just checked these transactions and both of them have been confirmed already 3 confirmations,If it still appears as unconfirmed then restart your wallet and synchronize with network.

For future reference, you had an "unconfirmed parent" because your transactions (id b47dee...) was spending "unconfirmed" change from the low fee unconfirmed transaction (id: 0f6858...).

Thankfully, your transaction had an 800 sat/byte fee, so you effectively did a "Child Pays For Parent" (CPFP) transaction and a SlushPool came along and confirmed them both in block 467770. :P
