Title: Transaction stuck, what to do? Post by: Klogavis on May 27, 2017, 06:32:31 PM Hi, I have a problem with a transaction that's been unconfirmed for days.
I thought I added a sufficient fee but the fee my wallet (bitcoin core) recommended was probably too low/not up-to-date and now my 0,202 bitcoins (which is quite a lot for me, the largest amount of bitcoins I've owned) is basically gone. Does anyone know how I can fix this? The transaction ID is 734ab7af5a74c4c4ed432da2cc2c635ccf990418aac2256b60c333d0dd468986-000 Title: Re: Transaction stuck, what to do?

I'd abstain from using BTC as payment option for a while.

You could try ViaBTC's accelerator, but you'll need to get lucky with timing. Alternatively, you could try double-spending it (or doing CPFP), which I can try to assist you with if you'd like.

They are not gone. They are in limbo in bitcoin core wallet. There are other wallets that let you spend this amount again with higher fee. I think Electrum can do that, use replace by fee to get back ur money and send it again. No problem :) Title: Re: Transaction stuck, what to do?

Post by: snowcrawl on May 28, 2017, 12:03:17 AM Just an update for you. I have successfully entered your transaction number into ViaBTC. The acceleration is confirmed. Now we wait a few hours to see if it helps to get you to your first confirmation.

Post by: snowcrawl on May 28, 2017, 01:00:28 AM It worked. You now have 2 confirmations.

Worry not, sooner or later your transaction will be mined They are not gone. They are in limbo in bitcoin core wallet. There are other wallets that let you spend this amount again with higher fee. I think Electrum can do that, use replace by fee to get back ur money and send it again. No problem :) RBF is only useful if the replaceable flag was originally set on the transaction. There is always solution in computer science world. I don't know any wallet that allows it |
