Bitcoin Forum

I had to create a new topic after finding out opening a non-self-moderated topic offering this service will attract trolls.
The original (non-self mod) topic can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942069.msg19295724
It can now be used to discuss this service (if needed)


*please read the disclaimer in the second post!

This topic is ONLY for requesting help, using the correct form.. Posts discussing the service will be read and removed afterwards!
discussion about the service: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1942069

Since there are sooooo many people having their transaction stuck, and failing to follow the simple instructions i leave when they use my tool on http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feechecker, i have decided to no longer bother, and just submit their transactions to viaBTC or antpool myself... I'll also generate a CPFP (if possible) and a transaction double spending the inputs (if possible). I'll also keep rebroadcasting their transaction from my node.

I hope this approach will take me less time than explaining how/why/... nobody is interested in the details anyways... And in the end, i see a lot of newbies falling for obvious scams, paying people to push their transaction to a free service, paying way to much,...

I've talked with HCP about this subject, and he agreed to assist me in this task, so we can have better coverage, since i'm only online monday-friday 7:30-6:00 CET, while he has a different schedule

Requirements:
1) a clean transaction, no double spent inputs, no unconfirmed parents, no dust outputs,... a minimal fee of 10sat/byte is needed!
2) your transaction has to be in my mempool... you can check this here: http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw

How to apply:
Reply on this topic, post following info:

• the transaction id
• wether or not you're the sender or the receiver (or both)
• which of the addresses used in the stsuck belong to your wallet (also list the change addresses). I can also work the other way around: in this case, tell me which address you were trying to fund
• which wallet software you're using
• acknowledge that your transaction is in my mempool (check requirement 2 ^^)
• acknowledge there's nothing "strange" going on with your transaction
• acknowledge you will rectify your situation, so that in the future you'll add sufficient fees... I will not help accelerate transactions for freeloaders that just keep cheaping out on the fees!!!
• if you tipped me, you can list the transaction id of the tip (not required)

So, a proper request to help you accellerate transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/e1ef737bef193fae2fcd4b0fe74bca221dcb9d820bf672772014b92f62f1d10b (already confirmed tough) will look like this:

Do not, i repeat not, contact me over PM... Since the mempool started filling up, i started receiving dozens of PM's and mails on my private mail, and i'm starting to lose track of it all... I'll only help you if you post in this thread.

Price: free, but people that give me a tip get priority over the ones that don't (tipping address is 1MocACiWLM8bYn8pCrYjy6uHq4U3CkxLaa)... No refunds if i'm unable to perform an acceleration due to problems with your transaction or the service i use tough!

Also, no guarantees... It's a free service... If i don't have time, or there's something wrong with your transaction, i don't have to explain why i didn't push your transaction!!!!

BTW: if all else fails: If you want me to contact quickseller and/or macbook air and/or push your transaction trough btc.com and/or ask for priority service at viabtc, i do require payment, i ask the full price of the service i'll use (be it the bounty i give to a forum member or btc.com's price) + all fees (miner's fees, alipay's fees) + 25% for my troubles. If i'm going to use a paying service, i'll request payment upfront... We can use a trusted escrow if you pay the fees. If we use a paying service, and something goes wrong, i'll only refund you if i get refunded myself... And i'll substract miner fees from the refund (not going to refund somebody from my own pocket).

The second post in the orignal topic was from HCP, i'll quote it here:

After consulting with a couple of knowledgeable members, i decided to put up this disclaimer:
Disclaimer: I cannot help you without knowing a basic amount of information (like the transaction id, which addresses in the transaction belong to you and which wallet software you use). However, everybody should realise this is a public forum... Everything you post on this forum is world-readable, and can be analysed by anyone. Furtheremore, using datamining, it is possible to discover more wallet addresses as soon as you're combining outputs or using change sent back to your own wallet. This should NOT be a security issue, unless you're involved in illegal transactions, you have so much BTC you're in danger of being robbed or if you're a very privacy-concerned person.
If you belong to either of these 3 cases, this service might not be suited for you!


*New*: As suggested by DannyHamilton, i will also accept pgp encrypted messages containing all requested information...
This way, only HCP and I will be able to decrypt your data, and so we're the only one that needs to be trusted...

The use of pgp encryption is optional... As a matter of fact, since decrypting the data is an extra step i have to take, there's a reasonable chance users who posted unencrypted data will get priority.

update: messages encrypted with this new public key can be decrypted by both HCP and myself:

aneel12, I'd like to help, but as mocacinno mentioned, I don't have access to this PGP keypair (the shared PGP keypair will be up and running tomorrow)... so I can't read your message. If you want urgent assistance, PM me with your details.


Expect your message to be removed when mocacinno gets online... you failed to provide even a transaction ID... ::)

In the meantime, you might like to read the first post, then edit your message and provide the necessary information as requested in the OP, so we can try and help. :)

Wallet software-originally sent from  Electrum 2.5.2 and upgraded to Electrum 2.8.3 afterwards to see if it would help the transaction go through. (So using Electrum 2.8.3 now)

-I checked if it was in your meme pool and it gave me a raw transaction number for both

-I tried setting the dynamic fees bar to the highest possible setting before I sent the first one about a week ago. I slid the bar all the way to the right. I don't know if this is actually the lowest setting and I just mixed up what way I was supposed to slide the bar or what. I set it to the highest setting hoping it would speed up the transaction but I guess it actually made it worse. I think with the upgraded electrum wallet I will just leave it at the default settings unless someone has better advice for me to follow.

The first one is about a week old and it now says low fee on the history status in Electrum. The other one is a day or two old and I think it cant go through cause the first one still hasn't and possibly because the dynamic fee setting is too low for both.

-I will tip you some btc for some help. Hope I did this right and its posted in the right thread. Thank you

I'll see what I can do... the 449 tx is spending an unconfirmed output from the c86 tx... so this will have to be done in two steps. First we'll sort out the c86, and then work on the other one.

For future reference, the slider in Electrum goes from lowest on the left, to highest on the right... Looks like you got caught by the outdated electrum only allowing a maximum of 50 sats/byte :(

As long as you have now gone to "Tools -> Preferences -> Fees" and made sure that "Use Dynamic Fees" is checked, and "Replace-By-Fee" is set to "Always" you should be OK :)

EDIT: Ok, the c86 transaction is accelerated. When ViaBTC mine their next block it should confirm. When that happens, we should be able to get the 449 one done.

Awesome thanks! Such a relief to have someone that knows what to do! Can you post a btc address for me to send some btc to you for the help? Thanks again!

This message was encrypted using my pgp key and contained all data necessary to help the poster. His problem should be fixed next time antpool mines a block.

If you want to tip... my address (bitcoin:1PMu6KrSGBmJ5EQ7siUXcshFAE55bFDrxk?label=HCP&message=Donation%20for%20stuck%20transaction%20help) is at the bottom of the first post ;)  

mocacinno's address (bitcoin:1MocACiWLM8bYn8pCrYjy6uHq4U3CkxLaa?label=mocacinno&message=Donation%20for%20stuck%20transaction%20help) is in there as well...

You're welcome ;)

Awesome!!! Thank you so much. Very cool of you to spend time helping people you don't even know. I was starting to think the btc might be lost. I will see what I have left for btc and definitely throw some your way. Thanks again. ;D

Tremendous THANK YOU to Mocacinno and HCP! Both of my transactions confirmed. You guys are the best!

I have a stuck transaction (since 26 May) that was intended as payment for hashing power from genesis-mining. If not paid within 30 minutes, the order expires.
My question- can your method have these funds returned to my wallet?

Our service is more about getting transactions confirmed. There is no way to forcibly "cancel" transactions, once they are propagated to the network.

If you want the funds returned, you need to wait for the transaction to drop from the network. Various things affect how long it takes to drop, like whether or not your wallet rebroadcasts unconfirmed transactions automatically.

What wallet are you using?

Hi mocacinno /hcp

im newbie here name :yoyo
having my stuck transaction 4days ago

txn id:

receiver address (blockchain IOS wallet V2.4.4): 1C3t767sC3RmTUZFYc8MT8BjDTmCcZbEuY

could you help me? i will tips you some BTC.thanks!

yoyo

Accelerated using ViaBTC... should be confirmed in the next block that ViaBTC mines... this can take a few hours depending on how lucky the ViaBTC mining pool is.

Also, the only transaction that seems to have propagated from 1F3afZgwxE45orzBVGiGWA76ea5Qb1nYqn is this one: https://blockchain.info/tx/f7daa5f9e263f6ff49d9f169e5360cbf1cd14baa54ffc5d9f689d2d1c3788d86

The transaction you listed was a double spend of the "f7daa" transaction, but I could only find it on one explorer... ViaBTC (and most other block explorers) had no record of the "6474c" transaction...

thanks for your replied!!
i was sending two transaction in early.
at first i sent f7daa5f9e263f6ff49d9f169e5360cbf1cd14baa54ffc5d9f689d2d1c3788d86 been rejected by sender wallet but receiver wallet showing pending until today.
and after the fund been return to sender, i resend again 6474cd8bf8d09b5056aaafeab0bd60c90331793bb9a27e74101acb0783497dbe and still showing pending at sender wallet and nothing show in receiver wallet.

both is my own wallet.

Thank you very much!!!
My transaction now confirmed !! Awesome !! Please send me your wallet as my thanks gift


***** already sent to your wallet!!***^^

Great news... glad we could be of service... thanks for the tip! :)

tip: yes, I will see what is left into my wallet for btc and definitely send some to you. Thanks! :)

This one has a fee of 5 sat/byte, so viaBTC won't even accept it (unless you pay for an acceleration). A second problem is that it has a dust output (~700 satoshi's).
I submitted the transaction to antpool, so if everything goes well, it'll hopefully be included in one of their next blocks, altough since it's a 14kb transaction with such a low fee, there is no guarantee!

Since there is change going back to your own address, we can attempt a CPFP if antpool doesn't accept the transaction... But we'll try antpool first.

BTW: in the future, try to avoid collecting dust outputs, like you see here, dust outputs lead to gigantic transactions, forcing you to use gigantic fees. In this case, the appropriate fee would have been 0.0546 BTC

Great work on setting this service up! Now I know who to contact whenever my transactions get stuck somewhere :D

Good luck on your service :)

Looks like the AntPool acceleration worked ;)

as mocacinno has already suggested, stop collecting tiny dust payments. If you are collecting from mining or faucets or whatever... try and set a minimum payout/withdraw amount of 0.01.

Hello dear excellent work done! My transaction has been processed so fast! Actually I tried to send my 0.03btc transaction it was asking for a transaction fee of 0.016btc. So I went to bitcoinfees.21.co and put suggested sats as transaction fees. My maximum transactions are from dust outputs. So I would try to avoid these types of tiny transactions later on and Try to make my output at-least .01 btc. Dear mocacinno and HCP Thanks for your good words and suggestion.

Now, to the point I sent the payment to coinpayments and I have got the refund from them, but yet to get the payment confirmed on blockchain. So, I would definitely send you the Tips btc ASAP I get the fund confirm! You guys are awesome! Keep the good work up. Thanks again!  :)

Hello dear mocacinno and HCP I have send a tip. https://blockchain.info/tx/9d06001b0f078f2528eee931f1c67c31c292a7effd694c84eaa8ae58aad11bce Thanks again! :)

Thanks! it's appreciated :) I see you're now using the fee slider in the correct way  ;D

Hey mocacinno, yeah, I don't want to be stacked again!!! :D Anyway, I know this thread is not a chit-chat field. But if I want to be connected with you, where n how to be? If you don't mind!  :)

tip: As I don't have any BTC left in my wallet I can't tip prior to the transaction being confirmed. Once they are through I will tho.

This one is already confirmed... AntPool did it :)

And this one was done using the ViaBTC accelerator...

Glad they both managed to get "unstuck"

I am very grateful for your help,

First, i do NOT fulfill your conditions because i have a zero-fee transaction and it is not in your mempool. Hopefully you can do something.

mempool: Yes, i have checked http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was NOT shown the raw transaction, so this transaction is NOT in your mempool
something strange: Sorry i cant say. I have not the needed knowledge to check.
rectified situation: Sure, i have learned a lot the last days. I will stop using blockchain.info(bitcoin core is syncing) and i know now what exactly the transaction fee is. In futur i will always check the current fees and add them to my transactions.
tip: No, BUT i promise i send 1$ as soon as my wallet is "unfrozen". After my faulty transaction i needed help with here i have done four new transactions with correct fees added to them. But they are all only shown in my wallet and nowhere else. They are now >12 hours old and unconfirmed too.  I think they can not be confirmed until my first faulty trans. is confirmed. So if i spend now you will not be able to see this and it will not going to be confirmed :(

I came here from my first thread involved with this.

The only transaction that even gets close to "correct" fees is the last one... :-\

Your assumption that they can't confirm until the 0 fee transaction one is correct.

Your 0 fee hasn't propogated well, which isn't surprising. Most nodes wont accept a transaction of less than the minimum relay fee...

At this stage, you options are: wait until all your transactions drop... (could be problematic as I believe b.info keeps rebroadcasting)... or possibly do a CPFP and pay enough fees to cover ALL 6 transactions (0 fee, 4 low + new transaction) If 1G1jegT9TmEPmoeNQ3x6RfWYHMUtiF2o7u is your address, this *might* be possible...

EDIT: further investigation shows that none of your transactions seem to have propagated outside of b.info. I can't find them on any other block explorer or on my full node either. You may want to try and contact B.info support and ask them if they can abandon/delete the transactions... I don't think there is much chance of these ever confirming. While you are at it, ask them why they even allowed a zero fee transaction in the first place??!? ??? :-\

Hello Mate,
2 of my transactions are pending from last 1 week. I bough these BTC from a broker. But they have not got confirmed yet. Can you please help.

Hey there

complete newbie here

unsure why this transaction is stuck - day 4 and counting

can you help?

https://blockchain.info/tx/8dad82cdb33e7015e1235476a421bee959946fbdcd5c59f74a007f8a2be5137c

trying to move between accounts so I can use BTC to purchase other coins / tokens

appears that the fees are a bit low (which I didn't now I could change) and hence it is getting held up?

Hi

Please help me with following transaction:

Stuck since: 07.12.2017

Transaction ID: d1eace47800b823bd602a072d895aaf261c844532bead5da54f41c6f9595bb5b

Please help my transaction is stuck  with more than 24 hours. Can anyone help me pliss.

My transaction id :
https://blockchain.info/tx/400f5e4f2a03723f05f77ee2853738197276d169ecb0308b363019d94b65859a

the second one has confirmed... unfortunately you sent the first with a 5 sat/byte fee... ViaBTC won't accept it... and for the reasons mentioned below, I don't think AntPool works anymore due to "abuse" :(



Your transaction is "stuck" because it is spending the output from a previous unconfirmed transaction (89ff18b4276fac5d78cf2cbd67a74c70e61ce95ffeb9cf665c5ecb285790ec38 (https://blockchain.info/tx/89ff18b4276fac5d78cf2cbd67a74c70e61ce95ffeb9cf665c5ecb285790ec38))

This previous transaction only has a fee of 39 sats/byte which is quite low compared to the recommended... https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx (120+) and https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ (370+ :o)

I'll try and get both accelerated, no promises tho.

EDIT: have accelerated the parent (89ff18b4276fac5d78cf2cbd67a74c70e61ce95ffeb9cf665c5ecb285790ec38)



Accelerated with AntPool (although, I'm fairly sure that this no longer works after the hordes of "free" acceleration services started abusing it by accelerating hundreds of transactions a day :-\)... I will accelerate using ViaBTC in about 15-20 minutes at the top of the hour.

EDIT: Done... and confirmed ;)



You paid a 60 sat/byte fee... for a 4318 byte transaction!!?! :o ::) Anyway, I'll add it to the list...

^^^Woah

Got no idea wat the spent and unspent means

my txn is not that low in comparison to others - transfering 0.05 BTC with a 0.005 fee...not the thread for it here but unclear why someone else's transaction is slowing mine donw

anyway - thanks in advance!!

I could sure use some help to please.

I made a mistake calculating my transaction fee and my transaction is stuck unconfirmed.

[/quote]

Thanks man..  I hope my transaction is confirmed soon :'(

This is a common misconception. The fee is not based on the transferred value, it's only dependant on the size of the transaction (in bytes).
The size of the transaction only depends on the number of inputs and outputs, not their value.

Manually calculating a fee is something that's better left to more experienced users (imho), i'd suggest picking a good, decent wallet and following it's advice regarding fees. If you have no clue about inputs and outputs, don't try to pick your own fee, cause you'll end up in the situation where you payed 0.005 BTC as a fee for a 0.05 BTC transaction, and honestly believe the fee *has* to be sufficient... But that's not how it works i'm afraid...



I have submitted it to antpool, but i don't think a 1 sat/byte transaction will have a decent chance with them either... ViaBTC doesn't accept a 1 sat/byte tx :(

Other options:
http://www.mocacinno.com/feecheck.php?txid=70e55204a89aa77f85503edc728ee075f61d86071e0e482732127979e45ed2d5

Parent is now confirmed, will work on the original transaction next.






Working on it... but I think the large size is making it difficult to get into ViaBTC, it takes 5-10 seconds to parse it... and by that time the 100 slots are full :-\

All the other transactions get accepted first click!



Your transaction fee is too low... it is only 1 sat/byte... ViaBTC will not accept this... a lot of the nodes are actually saying that it doesn't meet min-relay-fee... so your transaction has not propagated well. This transaction is NOT going to be confirmed any time soon... my advice would be to wait for it to fully drop and try again. Or try a "Child Pays For Parent" if you control either:
1BgBqVoxU7hua3rEDzdw2ConK3QDaqW1e4 or 181L4B2PzkrSBpV14WKtPUke99xeQ5ztYa

Lets see, can you help with this transaction?

e2e9d5fab43ad636d60cba1576d26886d217ac4a64d90be561cf56d5192da0fa

I put low fee in it  hope you can help. is stuck for 3 days

I'll push it to viaBTC in 23 minutes (at least, i'll try to push it to ViaBTC, their quota is usually met in a matter of seconds). Since it has 17 sat/byte, viaBTC *should* accept it.

ok lets see, that would be a great help, I try myself and said is not a valid txid but was send from my own blockchain info wallet

I missed this hour's ViaBTC slot (tried to submit your tx @ 9:00:15, so the 100 slots were filled in less than 15 seconds). I'll try again next hour. I'll edit this post if i succeed in accelerating your transaction.

EDIT: ViaBTC accepted your transaction :) It should be included in one of the next blocks mined by viaBTC (this can take a couple of hours, but from now on, you'll be in viaBTC's blocks)

Tremendous THANK YOU to Mocacinno and HCP! Both of my transactions confirmed. You guys are the best!

I didn't change my rate
as I said i'm a newb and all i did was process the txn from my source wallet to a destination using the recommended fee
i didn't even think you could change that fee



Thanks for your help guys txn went through

I have transferred bitcoin to other wallet on 13-Dec-2017 with 0.005 mining fees for 0.005755 BTC and blockchain is still showing unconfirmed transaction :( can you please speed it up? if possible? it'll be great if you can help :) Hoping that you'll help me with this thing.

All pending requests were added to antpool's priority queue... However, since this queue is heavily abused, chances are it'll take a long time before the tx's are added to a block.
This is why i'll push those transactions to viaBTC's pool to, all exept bitcoinhelpforum's transaction: this transaction only has a 3 sat/byte fee and will not be accepted by ViaBTC

@bitcoinhelpforum, i think that, in your case, it would be wise to attempt a CPFP (since you're the receiver). This is a feature that is embedded in most recent versions of electrum... Could you verify if this is also the case in the version you're running?
To verify if your wallet allows you to create a CPFP, just go to the history tab, right click on the stuck transaction and see if there is an option available called "child pays for parent"

Hi, I am in need of help for a stuck bitcoin transaction that has been stuck over 10 days because no miner will pick it up do to what I believe is the low usage on the site and volume overload.The transaction can only be found on chain.so website. It has 0 confirmations and 0 confidence right now. I have been waiting for it to post to the address it's supposed to go to. I would even be willing to pay if someone can mine this for me. The TXID can't be sent to a BTC accelerator because it is only found on the chain.so/api website.

The TXID is 75372ecb768ae89ee4736dba65529a5a543a7c1198083a3e344f22efabfa6eeb found on chain.so/api

Sender is 38ZQfki1wQAGGHp1mVrvaTSxAWf2dNuJcg


Receiving Address is  185tmf1NLtMB3xMGBJQB8KiZuDVubRP8we on Coinbase

If someone can assist me I would be soo grateful and have no problem sending money for a thank you! I just am so bummed this transaction won't process and I can't get help because it is through chain.so/api

I would be so grateful if anyone can help push this through and will pay for it to be processed!

There are 3 possibility's here:
1) make sure your wallet stops rebroadcasting your transaction, wait untill most nodes dropped your tx from their mempool, rescan/repair your wallet and re-create the transaction

2) try to re-broadcast your raw transaction:
just google for "bitcoin transaction broadcast", and use these online tools...
However, with a 6 sat/byte fee, chances are slim your transaction will be picked up by a miner, which brings us to point 3

3) pay somebody to include your tx into the block they're working on... but first make sure you completed step 2, those payed transaction accelerator services won't work if your tx isn't in their mempool.
viabtc.com, btc.com, macbook-air (bitcointalk) or quickseller (bitcointalk) can help you out with payed acceleration



Since the fee is lower than 10 sat/byte, i can only push it to antpool, which is heavily abused lately and doesn't offer a big chance of getting your tx in their blocks... But as a hail mary shot, i've pushed your tx towards them.
I'd suggest trying to create a CPFP, or create a transaction double spending the inputs of your transaction (to bad, your tx hasn't opted in for RBF).
To be honest, i don't have a clue how to create, sign or broadcast transactions with breadwallet

Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions if I can, but I think I'm limited. This BTC was from OALEND Coin (which is an ICO) withdrawal, so I have no control over the sending of it. They do and they won't seem to help me. I don't know why they choose chain.so to process the transactions because apparently there are major delays. I had no say in the miner fee. I feel at a loss here and have reached out to macbook-air and hope he can help somehow.

I'm still new to understanding mining and such, but I know enough that this is a frustrating situation.

Hi, I'm a newbie in need help of pushing this TX thru... I have already waited for 5 days, thanks to the lending platform company who paid so little in the tx fee.

I don't know why but I cant find the tx info from blockchain website but it can be found here instead :

https://chain.so/tx/BTC/253bb7e9a30d9158b36bb686d4ce2d75b009e8e7246b81fc583235942dbce04f


this is the senders wallet : 38ZQfki1wQAGGHp1mVrvaTSxAWf2dNuJcg

This is my wallet  : 19kkgcf3rCeWbWjFAmonvsiRbJSWQpDwHP

The amount that is still pending for me is 0.31025333 .

So I'm hoping u are able to use whatever that is necessary and without me losing too much on the BTC. Im more than happy to pay 100usd for your kind help & time.

the problem here is that this is a 373 byte transaction with a 2592 sat fee. That's only <7 sat/byte.
In order to "fix" your problem, you need to re-broadcast your raw transaction:


you can use google to find places to broadcast your transaction.

After the transaction has been broadcasted, i'd suggest you to create a CPFP transaction... That seems to be your safest bet, but first, you need to broadcast the transaction, so it's in the mempool of most nodes.

Unrelated:
Public service announcement:
In the past i was able to help people using 3 tactics:
1) push their transaction to antpool's priority queue
2) push their transaction to ViaBTC's free priority queue
3) give them advice on how to create a CPFP, RBF or double spending the inputs of the unconfirmed transaction

However....
1) Lately, somebody, has been spreading around the link to antpool's priority queue, so people who are cheaping out on their fees can abuse this system to save a couple of bucks
2) ViaBTC's free slots are gone in less than a second... I haven't been able to push a single transaction to their queue today
3) I can still give advice on CPFP, RBF or Double spending... However, do know that this advise is rather technical...

So, from now on, i will only help people to fix their own problem... I will no longer be pushing their transactions to priority queues... I haven't discussed this with HCP (yet), but i do hope he shares the same idear....

Hello, thanks a lot for your advice... I tried using the code and broadcast it to blockchain website & viabtc but both gave me errors. any other suggestion bro?

Hi,

Because the transaction was only shown on chain.so's block explorer, i missed the fact that this transaction seems to have unconfirmed parents.
As a matter of fact, the person paying you created a long chain of unconfirmed transactions, each of those transactions is using the change of the previous unconfirmed transaction to create a new transaction.
None of the pending transactions have a decent fee... As a matter of fact, all of them are having a fee that's so low they won't get into a block without the receivers intervention.

Your options at this point are really, really, really limited...
1) open the transaction in chain.so, click on "raw data", save the "tx hex". Go back to chain.so's tx overview, click on the "<"-symbol next to the sending address, in the next screen ensure that the previous tx in the chain is unconfirmed and save it's tx hex, repeat untill you find a parent transaction that IS confirmed...
Now, you need to re-broadcast all transactions in the chain, starting with the parent, and working your way up the chain...
As soon as the complete chain is broadcasted, you can use the unconfirmed unspent output in a new transaction with a fee of at least:
(number of unconfirmed parent transactions) * 400 bytes * 380 satoshi's.
Chain.so blocked my ip due to to many requests, but i got to 12 unconfirmed parents before they blocked me... So whoever sent you these funds is going to cost you at VERY least 12 * 400 * 380 sat =~ 0.018 BTC =~ $340
IF there were even more parents, the cost will be even higher

The second option is:
2) contact the sender, tell him to fix his mistake, give him a deadline, expose him as a scammer if he refuses

Hi Mocacinno, were you able to look at the above transaction? Just wonder what your advice would be to get my transaction confirmed?
Thank you!

i pushed it to antpool, but chances of it being picked up are small tbh... as a receiver, you can attempt a CPFP, but you'll have to pay the fee for the complete (stuck) parent transaction.. Since it's a 45 kb tx, that fee will be huge...

A different (political) option would be to force the sender to clean up their act and fix their problem

Hi !
Could some MINER help me?

I have 3 transactions stucked since day 7 dec!
I used 25 sat / per byte

Btc:

Never happened before wait so long. Also, I have already tried ViaBTC and nothing.
 
THX since now!

Sorry to tell you, but most miners are just in it for the profit. Even if you ask them nicely, they won't include any less profitable transaction in their blocks for free.
The couple of miners that do accept some less profitable transactions for free won't be browsing bitcointalk just to find people they could potentially help.

At this moment, i'm afraid i don't know any free transaction acceleration services that still work... So you're left with either waiting it out, or fixing your own problem by either bumping the fee (if you opted in RBF), double spending the inputs of the unconfirmed transaction, or by generating a RBF.

It's up to you, but if you don't take action, chances of your transactions confirming are slim to none... The recommanded fee at this time is 390 sat/byte for a 95% chance of getting in the next 3 blocks... So 25 sat/byte doesn't have a very good chance of getting in...

Hello

I have a transaction which is unconfirmed for 6 days.

ID: 9a2a0b1ba7949447acfba20829b1eda303828f172b1bbbf3c11101f9b7670b61
I send this transaction to this wallet : 1MicBGbqyyD3kjNhsXyrVqZfxYWvJG3Ugc

Please help and i will tip you.

I've pushed it to antpool, but chances of it getting confirmed this way are slim, as antpool is currently being abused... Since this transaction only has a fee of 55 sat/byte, you have only a few options:
1) wait it out, the transaction will either be confirmed sooner or later, if it isn't confirmed it'll probably get dropped and the unspent outputs can be re-used
2) if you're either the sender and there was a change address, or if you're the receiver, you can do a CPFP
3) if you were the sender, you can double spend the inputs of this unconfirmed transaction
4) you can pay a mining pool to include your tx in the blocks they're currently working at

Yes i am sending it on to my another wallet.

Please tell me more about those 2 options.
2) if you're either the sender and there was a change address, or if you're the receiver, you can do a CPFP
3) if you were the sender, you can double spend the inputs of this unconfirmed transaction

How can i do CPFP or how can i double spend the inputs.

This depends 100% on your wallet software.
If you're using either electrum or bitcoin core, i can walk you trough the process if you want...

i don't know its a bittrex wallet..

Both the sending and receiving wallet?
In that case, your only option is to contact bittrex support, since you actually need to be able to create, sign and broadcast a transaction to fix this issue, and an exchange wallet won't allow you to do either of these things i'm afraid.

IF you get it fixed, please move to a decent desktop wallet... Much safer, and at least you can fix an issue if one ever pops up.

can you help with below transaction? Thx.

a2bdd88e3995db953f55b199eefb66dde9c2111b8a8983a60dd56c1b6a226fd8

I am very afraid ... i sent via blockchain . Info
I am fucked

Sadly, it seems like the ones who were spamming AntPool accelerator have now switched to ViaBTC. I get the impression people are botting it to get transactions submitted to gain "tips"... :-\

Once again, the greed of a few has ruined it for everyone else :( :-\

What this means, is that there are now pretty much no "easy" options left for getting transactions unstuck.

I will continue to try ViaBTC (and AntPool) when and where I can, but what used to be pretty much a guaranteed confirmation is now maybe a 1% chance at best.

To avoid issues, please either pay the required Bitcoin fees, (or move to altcoins :P)

Thanks for the response mocacinno. If I go back to the sender and ask them to fix their problem then what do they need to do on their end on to fix it?

Hi there,

I read that there's not much to bump at the moment, but if you find any way to help out, here's the ID of my stuck transaction:

Transaction ID: 3bf2e0fdd4a9ad01b83c679f83c247d019ecfa6f18c4fd075978b2c47075200a

Would very much appreciate some kind of bump to the chain!

Hi there,

I've read the public announcement and I'm a bit puzzled about what option I have.

I'm transferring from my original Mycelium wallet to my Coinjar account and I've messed up with fees, confused by the interface.

The issue is, it's not (Or I can't find it) giving me the option to RBF or CPFP (I get an error for this one).

I have tried viaBTC and even got scammed like an idiot by confirmTX.

Would greatly appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, I'm even happy to pay a reasonable fee to get this one unstuck.

One thing for sure is I'm changing wallet for my BTC!

Thanks a lot!

something strange: I have tried to check for any errors but I'm still a noob so I'm only 90% sure everything looks ok
rectified situation: Yes, as stated I'm more than happy to pay regular fees for my transactions, this was a once off mistake

Are you the sender or the receiver, and which wallet software were you using?


I'm not a blockchain user myself, but if i'm not mistaking, since you are the sender, there should be no problem.
I've read somewhere that blockchain doesn't rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions, so as soon as most nodes drop your unconfirmed tx from their mempool, blockchain support should be able to just restore your wallet's history, and it'll (hopefully) be like the tx never happened... Do send those BTC to the receiver again tough!


I think that not all pools do the profitability calculations necessary to recognize a CPFP tx, however, if you add sufficient fees to the child, a cpfp *should* work..


Basically, they have to use (one of the) the uspent output(s) they used to create the stuck transaction and create a new transaction with a sufficiently high fee and broadcast it to as many nodes as they can. Once the new transaction gets into a block, the old (stuck) transaction will be removed from the node's mempool, since it's now using an unspent output that is no longer in their UTXO set.


Are you the sender or the receiver, and which kind of wallet software were you using?


This is a tough one to crack for me personally, since i have no experience with neither mycelium nor coinjar.
However, since it's a transaction between your own wallets, it *might* be a good idear to just let it be. IF mycelium doesn't rebroadcast unconfirmed transactions, eventually most nodes will drop your unconfirmed transaction from their mempools, and it'll be like the transaction never happened.
Just save the raw, signed transaction in a textfile somewhere just in case the problem doesn't solve itself, so you can re-broadcast the tx.


I think coinjar is an online wallet, right? In that case, i think a CPFP will be pretty hard if their wizard is busted... I do think mycelium is a HD wallet, and it gives you a recovery seed. If you succeed in exporting the private keys belonging to KHgsWHPkzfqKKQWbXHMvskDP9uJJNthYk and 1P5z9WUGYLeasq8fKNpMP3FmTpNf1QV9SN, i can make a transaction double spending the inputs of the unconfirmed transaction, and i can show you how you can sign said transaction and broadcast it...

I have no idea what's happening and what should I do, please help!!
Thanks for your concern.

Q1: What's happening?
A1: IF you want a 95% chance of getting into the next 3 blocks, you need to pay a fee of 480 sat/byte. If your transaction is using the output of an unconfirmed parent transaction, it cannot be added to a block BEFORE the parent is added to a block either.

Let's look at your transactions
b55a68e7f9a4f336469068d9dacf4457aa0f72e2db4605dd2aedf87456d50b24 => fee of 10 sat/byte, and using an unconfirmed parent!
20f341efceae193b7eb79e6c990735a4b7659d41536c1dc187324ccf40a53ea4 => fee of 44 sat/byte
d8b5b81a6295c4ba2291549096bbd0b0c7aafa2cca833e6506f701fdf39160ca => fee of 57 sat/byte
b55a68e7f9a4f336469068d9dacf4457aa0f72e2db4605dd2aedf87456d50b24 => fee of 10 sat/byte, and using an unconfirmed parent!
c7b475c3e3284af39aebe3172a3d1d21daada8aa708c6d802310a165ab8b39d4 => fee of 677 sat/byte, but using an unconfirmed parent with a fee of 10 sat/byte!

In short, a miner choses the transactions with the highest fee/byte of transaction data to fill the blocks he's working on. The transactions you created are not appealing to him/her, the odds of these transactions ending up in a block without any intervention are very, very slim (but they do exist tough!)

Q2: what should you do?
A2: first of all, switch to a decent wallet... I have never used bither HD wallet, nor bitpie... But if they didn't even warn you about the fee, nor the fact you were using unconfirmed transaction's outputs to create new transactions, they don't sound like good wallets to me.
As for your problem with the stuck transactions, there are 4 possible sollutions:
1) waiting it out.. Just make sure bither isn't rebroadcasting your transaction and wait for a couple of days (and possibly repair or rescan your wallet)
2) use the output of the unconfirmed transaction to create a new transaction with a fee that is high enough to cover both the initial transaction and the new transaction (CPFP)
3) double spend the unspent output that was used as input for the hanging transaction
4) pay a miner to include your tx in the block he/she is currently working on. viaBTC, btc.com and f2pool are known to help people out if they pay enough (do expect to pay a big premium on top of the "best" fee)

tip: no, thanks and appreciate ur service tho.

Appologies for the lack of intel.

I am both sender (from MultibitHD) and receiver (to Kraken). I have learned so far that the problem is caused due to low fee per byte.

I do hope to settle this transaction within the next few days, any idea what I can do best in this situation? Would waiting a little longer cause a the transaction to be refunded or what would happen if it doesn't get confirmed in the next few days?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks a lot for your fast reply mocacinno.

I think that unfortunately Mycelium rebroadcasts unconfirmed transactions as I can see you have the manual options to DIY in the interface, and it's been like 8 days (I have read most transactions drop out before 3 days but I may be wrong).

Also I have looked around and it seems there is no way to get the private keys for the input addresses you're mentioning unfortunately, even with the recovery seed... And Coinjar is an Australian exchange for BTC.

Seems like my only hope is to get in touch with a miner directly and get it sorted for a fee. Would you happen to have a preferred contact?

Thanks again!

10 days the transaction has been stuck

Please help!!

well many of your problems above are worse then mine.

I paid 215 in fees and unstuck my major transactions. I used btc.com    as they totaled more then 50,000 usd. and much of that was not truly mine to hold for as long as i want 215 was a bargain.

I have used viaduct.com to move tx ids  but now nothing works with them.

I have 1 transaction left that is stuck

d04fd0649f560f365247f3102fb2910748766132fd9cdeab3cb12e9c09f2bb10

So this was sent via blockchain.info wallet to one of my trezor wallets.  it is about 300 usd

I am not paying like 200 usd to unstick it. So does block chain wallet  let it drop  since it is one of my wallets to one of my other wallets  and I don't care about that money at the moment will it drop out?



So I now can't move fund without huge costs. That ends my escrow business. I can live with it ending.
I prefer to mine, but this locked transaction shit is hard to deal with.

I need some instructions of manipulation. Thanks some much!
Btw, the tipping sent to you successfully by paying 0.001BTC as the fee, so maybe you can only receive 0.00171645.

Hi, before I post a proper help request, is this an unconfirmed transaction you can help me with? Sorry I've read all I can and tried to figure it out myself and have come to you as a last resort. Thank you.

https://blockchain.info/tx/cf338a3e99ae1759b1416d3faa0798b166bea8c2a9d427041c21325ba1902a6e

you paid 267 sats  it may go over night but your 267 sats may be high enough

Thanks for your reply.

At this stage it's been unconfirmed for 23 hours and counting whereas previous transfers (of lesser amounts) were confirmed within 1-2 hours max. The fee is the default fee set by BTCMarkets which they say is a 'fee charged that get's it processed with the highest priority'. Do you know what could be holding this up if my fee is high enough?

Just want this sorted asap as some of the alts I've been watching are at a good buy in price and it's just a matter of time before I think they will rebound.

Extra Info: Tried everything, accelerators, etc....No luck this my first stuck transaction, apologies for the noobness

Well 380 - 450 are priority  not 267 but 267 is pretty big.

Btc.com is doing real acceleration for at least 75 usd in my case the transaction is large in byte size they want 305 usd for a 311 transfer.

So I will just wait on it as it is my wallet  to another of my wallets .

In your case I would wait longer before I spent to fix it.  My sats are 60 I am hoping I drop off.

why are you doing this for free, is this for your own personal gain or is it because you want to help

(sorry for being so cynical but genuinely curious. I might start off a service like this as well)

or is it some bitcoin cash hack thing that i dont even understand how it works, electron cash deleted my walelt so i have no idea what is going on.

It seems i have a huge backlog in writing replys... I'll be adding new replies to this post by editing it!

I wanted to extend a special thanks to both HCP and philipma1957 for helping me out, since the inflow both on the forum, in PM, my email, my twitter,... is more than i can possibly handle by myself.

During this anwering round, i won't be able to spoonfeed answers to anybody... I'll try to push you in the right direction, but you'll have to  do some of the grunt work yourself... I'm swamped with questions lately.

If, for some reason, i forgot to answer your question (check back in a couple of hours after i'm done editing), don't hesistate to re-ask ;)

First Question
Since you are the receiver, that leaves you with a CPFP or paying a miner to confirm your transaction.
If it was a huge amount of BTC, i'd probably contact your exchange's support dept, and ask them to do a CPFP, but since the amount is relatively small, the best thing you can do right now is keep re-broadcasting the raw transaction:


Second Question

Since the receiver is an exchange, this pretty much rules out CPFP, the tx isn't opt-in RBF so that's out of the question to...
Multibit HD is no longer supported, if you move away from multibit HD to electrum (tutorial can be found here: https://multibit.org/blog/2017/07/26/multibit-shutdown.html), you SHOULD be able to follow my wizard on http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feechecker to create, sign and broadcast a transaction double spending the inputs of the unconfirmed transaction using electrum

Thirth Question


I think you *should* be able to get your hands on the private keys by using the offline sourcecode https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ and the correct derivation path. I don't really have time to look up the derivation path myself (answering tons of questions).

If you can't get it fixed, i do know btc.com, viabtc.com and f2pool accept such transactions for a big premium. the first two have a webpage selling their service, f2pool can be contacted on bitcointalk (macbook-air is the owner, and quickseller has push privileges)

Fourth Question

The problem here is that this tx is using inputs from an unconfirmed parent transaction (e0f15412adeef065b24b184ef0def8495ee78cb1bf9815f9abe21a57333ae3cf).
Your transaction can only be confirmed once it's parent is confirmed.
You could potentially do a CPFP, but you'll have to pay the fee for both your stuck transaction AND it's parent...
The total size of both tx's is 35502 bytes + 225 bytes + 225 bytes (for the CPFP tx) = 36 kb.
The optimal fee at tis point is 700 sat/byte.. So the CPFP tx should have a fee of 0.25 BTC, which is about $4300.. You basically got a bad deal here...

The other option is to contact the sender and force him to clean up his act... He used the outputs of an unconfirmed transaction as input for a new transaction, and that's not a cool thing to do!

Fifth Question


Hi Phil, sorry to see you leave the escrow business... You were one of the guys i actually looked up to. I always loved guessing the next diff jump on your threads :)
As for your transaction, it has a fee of almost 400 sat/byte... I'm pretty sure it'll be confirmed sooner or later, i did push it to antpool for you, since the fee is reasonable, this one *might* actually have a chance of getting into one of their blocks!

Sixth Question

I really don't know bither... If you want to know wether they rebroadcast or not, and if they do how to stop it, i would suggest reading/posting in their Ann thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498382.0

doing a CPFP from electrum should be as easy as right clicking on the pending, incoming transaction in the transaction history tab. There *should* be an option "Child pays for parent", just follow their wizard and you *should* be OK... If the option isn't shown, make sure you run a recent version (i think they're up to 3.0.3 now, i don't know when this feature was introduced, but older versions might be lacking it).

If you can't get CPFP to work, and you need some extra help, i'd like you to find out if you can use your seed words to restore your bither wallet in electrum. If you can, i can walk you trough doublespending (it might also be possible with bither, i just don't know, nor have the time to really dig into it).

Thanks for the tip, it is greatly appreciated :)

Seventh Question


Well, the main problem is that you are using unknown (to me) independant online wallets... You're basically stuck with the feature set they provide (or with their support dept) UNLESS you can export the private keys of either wallet... Would it be possible to find out which feature sets are offered by the sending/receiving wallet, and if you can export private keys from either one?

Eight Question


Your fee is sufficient to get a confirmation sooner or later, but defenatly not high enough to have a decent chance of getting confirmed right away...
The fee for a 95% chance of getting into the next 3 blocks is 700 sat/byte at the time of writing!

Nineth Question

No problem, could you share witch wallet you used to create the transaction, and which wallet was receiving?

Tenth Question

I did this because i could... I used to be able to help about anyone who had a problem in the past.. However, nowadays, a lot of the tools i used to use are heavily abused by people cheaping out on fees. It has come to the point where i'm happy when i'm able to help just 1 or 2 people a day.

I'm not affiliated with bitcoin cash, nor with any of the pools i used to use. When i send somebody to a pool, i don't get a cut. I must admit i sometimes send people to my own site for more information, and i do get some ad revenue from that (about 0.005 BTC/year, i estimated)

rectified situation: God yes in the future I will always crosscheck the wallet default fee with the recommended current fee (fairly new to all this and didnt know the default would bone me) and will even add a little to it
    as the trying every accelerator every time i can (viabtc every hour) and checking if it has finally been confirmed all the time is causing some serious anxiety.

tip: not yet, once i am able to get more btc or if there is a different way i can tip (paypal if you could contact me this would be the best way) I most certainly will. What you are doing is amazing
    for someone new like me that has ran into this problem for the first and last time.

Since you used a reasonable fee of allmost 300 sat/byte, your transaction will eventually confirm if you keep rebroadcasting the raw transaction:

Since you're both the sender AND the receiver, you should be able to do a CPFP from the receiving wallet by right-clicking the stuck transaction and chosing "child pays for parent". If this menu is unavailable, it means you need to update your electrum wallet ;)

I know i said i wouldn't push any more tx's to antpool, but since your fee is reasonable, you have a reasonable chance with antpool, so i made an exception and pushed it anyways...

A small piece of advice: go to the preferences and set your wallet to always opt-in RBF, that way your problem could have been solved cheaper and faster ;)

How do I rebroadcast the transaction?

That's pretty easy, you just submit it to one of the nodes that created a gui for this task.
As a matter of fact, Timelord2067 created a thread where he collects nodes that allow rebroadcasting transactions (it includes my node  :D)

Hi, my transaction has an unconfirmed input, can please someone tell me what to do? thank you in advance!

You need to give more info... Transaction TX? Your BTC address?

Eight Question


Thanks for your reply mate. Looking back on my previous transactions they have been around 350 sats which I'm guessing is why they went through so fast compared to this one.

It would give me peace of mind getting a confirmation sooner than later so if it's ok, I'd like post a help request below. Will tip gladly if this can get sorted in the next few hours and a confirmation is received. Hopefully I have filled this out correctly. Coins needs to end up in my Binance Exchange account.

sender/receiver: Both
addresses: 127rB32uMuwEwnUyqukbLyUsYbQ7iJxoQj is the receiver address (Provided by Binance where I want to send my Bitcoins to). 17uwFt4XVmFwXYAi6ufwzNaKeNhML72ZfP is the sender address (Provided by BTCMarkets where I've sent my Bitcoins from)
wallet software: Not Sure? I'm transferring directly from the BTCMarkets Exchange to Binance Exchange.
mempool: yes, i have checked http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was shown the raw transaction, so this transaction is in your mempool
something strange: no, i have checked for unconfirmed parents, dust outputs and double spends on blockchain.info, and could not find any anomalies
rectified situation: yes, in the future i'll use dynamic fees, and set the slider all the way to the right AND i'll use http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate for a second opinion
tip: yes, I'm happy to tip but 100% of my BTC are embedded within this transaction hence I need to get them confirmed please. Can then transfer you some :)

Kind Regards

the wallet I used is adding the fee automatically. Plus, I'm not that familiar with bitcoin, It's the second transaction I made. for the first one I somehow managed to accelerate it with viaBTC accelerator myself, for this one I have no Idea what to do. I tried to accelerate on viaBTC the transaction id of the unconfirmed input, however I did not succeed. I hope to get some advise from you guys.
this is the transaction id: 3a3bac0345baecda7409c09e14dc7023bbc75dc1e8ec9d13782211ce44f2aa03

You're sending from an online wallet to an online wallet... This severely limits the things you can do to speed everything up:
- since your tx had a "reasonable" fee, i submitted it to antpool, chances of this working are small
- you can keep rebroadcasting the transaction and wait it out
- you can pay for an acceleration at one of the following pools: viabtc.com, btc.com or f2pool.com

Good luck!


This one actually is part of a chain  of unconfirmed transaction... Each parent transaction in your chain has to be confirmed before your transaction will be confirmed.
I can give you some tips on what to do, but i'm still missing a lot of information i need in order to give you advice... Please read the very first post in this thread and decide wether or not you want to share this information or not.

Ok, let's see... you are the sender... This means that it was your wallet software that used the output of an unconfirmed transaction to build a chain of unconfirmed transactions... That's defenatly not good.

Could you tell me if you're also the sender of the unconfirmed parent:
https://blockchain.info/tx/3a3bac0345baecda7409c09e14dc7023bbc75dc1e8ec9d13782211ce44f2aa03

There are 2 possibility's here:
1) you're also the sender of 3a3bac0345baecda7409c09e14dc7023bbc75dc1e8ec9d13782211ce44f2aa03. In this case, it's 100% up to you to solve this problem. If you want my advice, i really need to know which wallet you used.

2) you're not the sender of 3a3bac0345baecda7409c09e14dc7023bbc75dc1e8ec9d13782211ce44f2aa03, in this case, it might be a good idear to contact the sender, and ask him/her to fix his/her transaction...

I'm only the sender of the amount of 0.0057 bitcoins. nothing else. In my country (Georgia) are not so many options to use ewallets (known to me at least). I will try to contact the company who owns this ewallet I used and hopefully they can solve this problem of unconfirmed parent.

That's a good idear... If you don't know anything about the parent transaction, it's indeed the problem of your ewallet, they should not use outputs of unconfirmed transactions to create new transactions.

I did wanted to point out that bitcoin is a global currency, it's not bound to boundries. In general, it's a bad idear to use online wallets, so i think you should seriously consider running a desktop wallet (electrum is my favorite). If you run your own desktop wallet, you can fix a lot of your own problems, while using an online wallet requires intervention from a central authority.

I would really appreciate any help. Kind of desperate right now.

the transaction id: f78d950a689f8bd6835bbf50c987505f678751d520891c09411ce6d2d903033f
addresses: 1As7nq1QPXG5QziN8ZhhZJLvFD27qyoaeu is the sender’s address, 19ABUkUmQ9N8GAiGMwNoYanb5QFq1jhxn4 is my address
sender/receiver: receiver
wallet software: really don’t know :(
mempool: yes
tip: i'll be happy to tip once I have access to my BTC. Everything I have is in this transaction.

https://blockchain.info/tx/f78d950a689f8bd6835bbf50c987505f678751d520891c09411ce6d2d903033f

Since you are the receiver, there are 2 options for you:
1) contact the sender, request that he fixes his mess...
2) do a CPFP... A CPFP is basically using the unspent output from the unconfirmed transaction to generate a new transaction, this new transaction can only be included in a miner's block if he/she also includes the parent transaction. If the fee of the child is high enough to cover both the fee of the child AND the parent, some miners will actually mine both tx's and solve your problem.

If you go for option 2, i REALLY need to know your wallet software. It's not hard: which program on your pc did you use to generate an address you gave to the sender? OR, which website did you surf to to generate this address (altough, if you used an online wallet, the odds of me being able to help you are small).

Sorry, I wasn't clear. This was processed from an online exchange to another online exchange.

As it's been already 1 day and a half and I have a fee of only 181.796 sat/B, is this unlikely to be processed any time soon as there are a lot of transactions with higher fees?

https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ estimates that at this point in time, it can take up to 143 blocks to have a 95% of getting your tx confirmed... However, if more tx's with higher fees get broadcasted, things might get worse for you.

In case of an exchange to exchange (or online wallet) transaction, the only thing you can do is pay a miner to include your tx, wait it out, or contact the SENDING exchange and demand a sollution.

Do you know how much a miner would charge for this? Any recommentation of a reliable one right now with a not so expensive bounty?

Also, any idea if the free btc.com accelerator is working? I've tried about 20 times already when the clocks turns (i.e. 10:00:00am), but I always get the message that 100 limit has been reached.

Thanks!

this transaction above has been stuck for 17 days and is now hurting me as I am getting error code 26 - so cannot send funds now. please help!

So to be safe, I'm goona ask u.
I will have to download the sharp pusher and input my raw transaction.
And my raw transaction can be gotten from the mempool @ http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw
am i right?

There are 2 working ones with an easy enduser gui.
tx: f78d950a689f8bd6835bbf50c987505f678751d520891c09411ce6d2d903033f
size: 225 bytes
https://pushtx.btc.com/ => $72
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (paid service at 0.01 BTC/kb) => 0.00225 BTC (= about $40)

Viabtc IS working, but heavily abused... Chances of succesfully pushing a tx are very slim


I've never used that tool, but the author is a verified member of the community, so that should be safe, yes :)


sorry, but it's almost impossible to help you without knowing the basic information, as specified in the very first post in this thread. It's obvious why the tx is stuck tough: it has a 5 sat/byte fee, while the optimal fee is 720 sat/byte

under blockchain how can i change the fee? i usually just press send and let them choose the fees. have never had this issue.

Hi mocacinno,

I sent bitcoins from blockchain.info to binance exchange, its been three days. previous transaction using the sat/b fee's went thru ok, so i assumed this transaction would too.

transaction info is here blockchain.info/tx/6af5a2353258604070564969fc7629f128e69e280a8214ddfdd27db415fda59d

Transaction id - 6af5a2353258604070564969fc7629f128e69e280a8214ddfdd27db415fda59d
Sender or the receiver (or both) - both, sending to fund account from my (blockchain.info) to (binance exchange)
Which address you were trying to fund - funding my binance wallet using my blockchain.info wallet. Binance receive address 16GNGhh8ot9Gyd8VYdqwYSnmcr5UTkvy2A
Transaction is in my mempool - yes, i have checked http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was shown the raw transaction in mempool.
Nothing "strange"going on with your transaction - no, i have checked for unconfirmed parents, dust outputs and double spends on blockchain.info, and could not find any anomalies Nothing strange, only rebroadcasted twice. simple blockchain.info wallet to binance wallet.
Rectified Situation: Will use http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate to check fee's moving forward, dont want to make the same mistake again. Also, will be using priority option on blockchain.
Tip: Would be pleased to give a tip if you can speed this transaction up, i dont have much in regards to bitcoins but i can send something as a thank you. no problem at all.

thanks Mocacinno, appreciated if you can help.

Hey there!

Saw this thread and also need some help, though I'm not sure if the state the transaction is currently in can be helped:

transaction id: 709c8e5894b8eb55b4a7dcc222c88a000578dcb179a5dff06db40af7630a99cb
sender/receiver: both, sending to myself on another wallet/platform
addresses: all addresses are mine
sender's address (and his change address to): 17LzQdVH4AK1t4Q5oLWjmjjJgmj3D5kVUY -> 37X8qjsHVBPUu9xR9xZFdJjn6XEADUG9GE
wallet software: Bitcoin Armory 0.96.3.99 (was 0.96.0 at the original time of sending) in conjunction with Bitcoin Core version v0.15.1 on windows 10
mempool: yes, i have checked http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was shown the raw transaction, so this transaction is in your mempool
something strange: As far as I can tell, no. I tried clearing/abandoning the transaction after 3 days in Armory, and then tried to do a double spend, but there was a mempool conflict and it wouldn't let me broadcast the transaction attempt. So now I'm either stuck waiting for the transaction to be abandoned by nodes around the world, or just trying to push it through I guess?
rectified situation: yes, in the future i'll use dynamic fees, and set the slider all the way to the right AND i'll use http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate for a second opinion
Yep, lesson learnt. Check fees before sending, didn't occur to me that the "automatic" setting in Armory wouldn't pick up on dynamic fees. Will also enable RBF next time to avoid this whole debacle -_-
tip: More than happy to tip once I'm able to actually send my bitcoins again :)

Any advice on how to proceed here would be awesome! Just not sure how long it's going to take to have the transaction abandoned, so if it's possible to push it through, would just prefer that then. Cheers! :D

Hello sir,

Thanks for the service.

it's like almost 2 days  :-\

Already helped me a long way here, thanks again for that. You're doing great work!

I have switched to electrum succesfully. Now I want to do the double spending, but feel uncertain if I'm doing this absolutely correctly. So I will bother you one more time, to make sure not to make any mistakes.

If I understand correctly, I now have to create a new transaction from Electrum. I enter the same address in 'pay to' and the same amount. Then send the transaction and broadcast it? Is that all?

Thanks. As far as actually paying to accelerate ($72 to btc or $40 to viabtc), is there any difference between doing with any of them? Looks like btc.com I just pay online with a credit card and  I have e-mailed viabtc, but haven't received any answer. Also, do you think I could pay for this and my transaction still not be processed?

Again, for my transaction, I am both the sender and receiver. What other methods do i have?

Hi Mocacinno -

Thanks for creating this help thread! I'm also experiencing difficulties, though I fully accept they're a result of my own lack of understanding of the current transaction climate... I hope I've appropriately listed everything.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

There is a link on the send dialog that says "customise fee"... Use that or "priority fee"


- You don't have control of the receiving wallet, so CPFP is not an option.
- I don't believe that b.info provides any RBF facility
- Fee was 90 sats/byte... so ViaBTC is an option, but VERY difficult to get in these days... I am about 99% convinced that the AntPool accelerator no longer works (most likely due to abuse :()
- I believe b.info does enable you to export private keys (or at least has a recovery seed which you can use to get private keys), so exporting and importing into another wallet that would allow you to create a double spend is a possibility.



Armory is a fairly complex client... I suspect that the issue with resending is just that your transaction is still in the mempool of various nodes... Unfortunately you cannot do anything about their setup and when they choose to drop your transaction.

Given your transaction is also in mocacinno's mempool, it would appear your transaction is fairly well propagated.

Try ViaBTC... Very difficult at the moment, or wait it out... Not much else that can be done :-\

Possibly try broadcasting your double spend via some of the broadcast services here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting



291 sats/byte fee... Not the worst fee in the world, it's just that fees are ridiculously large at the moment :(

There is a chance your transaction will confirm "naturally", but likely to take a few more days :-\

Unless you want to try a CPFP, your best bet is ViaBTC (maybe AntPool, but like I've previously mentioned, I'm fairly certain AntPool no longer works)



Given the massive chain of unconfirmed transactions, there really isn't anything you can do but wait... Unless you feel like paying $$$ to attempt the mother of all CPFP transactions! :P

Also, the reason your transaction doesn't show anywhere is because a lot of nodes don't like creating long unconfirmed chains, I believe the default limit is like 20-25... Some nodes will only hold a few... Once the parents start confirming, your transaction will eventually show up.

The service you are using is fundamentally broken. They need to fix their shit and start batching transactions rather than creating stupidly long chains of unconfirmed transactions.

If I were you, I'd seriously consider using a different service in the future if they don't change their system!



No. Double spending requires that you use the same inputs... If you just create a new transaction without knowing what you're doing, you could spend "different" coins and end up sending 2 payments! Best wait for mocacinno to help! ;)


Not really any difference... Check which one has the most hash rate here (www.btc.com) they're theoretically more likely to find a block...

The is always a chance you pay and nothing happens... Although these services are a lot more reputable than the other pay to accelerate services like confirmtx.com etc... Btc.com and ViaBTC are both large, well known mining pools and as legit as you get in the crypto world :P



If you're sending/receiving from a "proper" wallet with coin control and control of private keys etc... You can probably CPFP, double spend and possibly RBF



As above..

- You don't have control of the receiving wallet, so CPFP is not an option.
- I don't believe that b.info provides any RBF facility
- Fee was 65 sats/byte... so ViaBTC is an option, but VERY difficult to get in these days... I am about 99% convinced that the AntPool accelerator no longer works (most likely due to abuse :()
- I believe b.info does enable you to export private keys (or at least has a recovery seed which you can use to get private keys), so exporting and importing into another wallet that would allow you to create a double spend is a possibility.

Good thing I have not taken action yet, cheers for the heads up!

I don't know then what the same inputs means, I thought it would be the address and amount you 'put in', but I'm just a scrub.

HCP thanks for the reply - could you possibly provide a link I could read that could help me figure out how to do this process? I'm admittedly a little slow on the technical side of creating these transactions...

Hi mocacinno, I know you are very busy now, but I would appreciate if you can help me.

8 days !!!! omg, now i want to pay for it, but they ask me for 70usd to accelerate this

You've sent from one online wallet where you don't have access to the private keys to another online wallet where you don't have access to the private keys.

You cannot do CPFP
You cannot do RBF

Your only options are transaction accelerators... You can try ViaBTC (very very difficult to use these days) or pay BTC.com or ViaBTC (or contact the F2Pool guys macbook-air and/or quickseller).

Either that or simply wait.


You have a fee of 18sats/byte when recommended are 800+ ::) even 8 days ago they were a lot higher than 18... They were like 350-400+

Refer: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com and https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

If your wallet supports it, try RBF... If you control the receiving address, try CPFP... If neither of those options are available... Then either join the thousands of people trying for a near mythical slot on ViaBTC free... Or pay. Avoid the lesser known paid accelerators... Most are scams

This you are doing is great !! Keep it up.

A big thanks to HCP for helping me get trough the many requests... Couldn't do this without a little help from time to time  ;D

It looks like this is the only question left open at the moment:

I'll create a double spending transaction for you... The only thing i wanted to ask: could you tell me which output value i can take the extra fee from? You're funding 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn and 3AbZaaKj4ZVomw4YKTTpraqQYbaesByTpJ, i'll have to reduce one of these outputs to leave room for a bigger fee... It's up to you to pick witch one.

Once you tell me where to take the fee from, i'll create an unsigned transaction, since you moved to electrum, you *should* be able to sign said transaction with your electrum wallet and broadcast it afterwards. It's been a while since i last did this, so i hope it still works, but i don't think it'll be a big problem

I would be glad if you can help with:

92fedc84404843ff4d46c385aefb75b46e179668941107bcbfac795680b2af63

Thank you

Thanks for that! Hmm, so there's no other way of going around creating a double-spend or CPFP transaction then? Guess I shouldn't have waited 3 days before abandoning the transaction from the wallet :/

Also, how would I know when the transaction gets successfully abandoned? When it shows up as transaction not found? I hope my constant refreshing of that page isn't actually rebroadcasting it haha:

https://blockchain.info/tx/709c8e5894b8eb55b4a7dcc222c88a000578dcb179a5dff06db40af7630a99cb

I gave a reply in your thread.


you used a fee of 267 sat/byte, while at this moment the optimal fee for a 95% of getting into the next 3 blocks is 900 sat/byte.
If you want me to give you some advice on how to potentially solve the problem, i need a lot more information, as stipulated in the very first post of this thread


Don't worry your transaction doesn't get rebroadcasted by refreshing that page ;)
As soon as you stop rebroadcasting, the number of nodes having your transaction in their mempool will start to decline. It'll take a long time before ALL nodes dropped your tx, but that shouldn't be a problem.
If you're creating a double spend, i see no harm in starting to broadcast it once or twice a day, starting a couple hours after you stop rebroadcasting

I already posted a reply to your question in your thread... I get dozens of help requests a day (in this thread, on the forum, over PM, via twitter, via email, on other fora,...) , please don't duplicate requests, it gets very confusing for me this way.

Hi I am hoping someone could help me out.... I have been waiting 3 days for this transaction to go through and it's still saying unconfirmed. is there anything I can do. I've tried Via btc  (Submissions beyond limit) & Confirm TX (invalid transaction) I know the fee is small which hasn't helped but this is my total funds.

If you rather just handle this one for me, around 700sat/byte (1.5mBTC) is what Electrum automatically puts the fee on. This is fine if you think that is what it takes at the moment. Take it from 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn. I do see a Sign and Broadcast button when I preview a transaction, so I should be able to handle it from there.

Thanks again.

If your transaction doesn't confirm, and it's not rebroadcasted, the nodes will remove the tx from their mempools and according to the network, it'll be like the tx never existed.

I'm a big fan of people wanting to learn :)
The "problem" is that it's easyer to create a raw, unsigned transaction if you're running a synced node (like i am doing), electrum is perfect for signing transactions, but not so good at doublespending unspent outputs that have already been spent.

If you want to learn the basics, you can download the sourcecode of coinb.in, i've actually written a small post on my blog on it's basic usage a long time ago: http://www.mocacinno.com/blog/create-sign-broadcast-transactions-using-coinb/
I wouldn't use coinb.in to sign the transaction tough (so you don't need to follow the complete article).

If you succeeded in creating a double spending tx using coinb.in, please post the unsigned transaction in this thread and i'll review it for you and give you some pointers on how to sign it using electrum :)

no, it'll not be gone... It'll either be rebroadcasted indefenately, it'll be confirmed or after a long time most the network nodes will have removed it from their mempool and they will act like the transaction never happened.

Wether or not it'll be rebroadcasted: no idear, since you didn't give the information i asked for, and the answer to this question depends on this info.

Wether or not your wallet will react like the transaction never happened: no idear, since you didn't give the information i asked for, and the answer to this question depends on this info.

rectified situation: yes, I always make sure I give a proper fee and I will not use a particular exchange anymore and also I'll use http://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate for a second opinion

Thanks for the insight! So I'm assuming I can't use Armory to create a double spend, since it keeps coming up with the txn-mempool-conflict error message? Does that mean I'll need to use my private keys in another wallet (such as Bitcoin Core) to access the funds and do the double-spend from there? Or would it be better to do a CPFP using that method? Not really keen on chucking my private key onto any web wallets if possible...

Depends on how your exchange handles this issue...
This is exactly why i keeped asking you for more information... If you'd have said it was a transaction between two exchanges, i would have immediately told you there were only 3 options:
1) keep rebroadcasting your tx and wait it out
2) pay for an acceleration performed by a decent pool
3) contact the exchange, ask them to clean up their mess


Don't upload your private keys to a web wallet, i'd never suggest such an attrocity  ;D
It *might* be possible to use armory to create a double spend, but to be honest, i haven't used armory in a really long time, so i can't give you any advice in this matter... I think HCP might know a bit more about this wallet than i do, maybe he'll chime in?

hey, can you take a look at this?

00 sat
OK, this one has a fee of  312 sat/byte. Eventough currently the optimal fee is about 900 sat/byte, this one *should* eventually confirm if you wait long enough and make sure you rebroadcast it regularly.
If you want a quick confirmation there are a couple of options:
1) do a CPFP, the problem is that your wallet used the change that was funding your change address    13bq5aDGxanR7TFSdsKhk12JRg8tj1E6gX to create a new transaction, and than another one... So you'll have to use the unspent output funding your second change address to create a CPFP. I don't really know how to sign transactions in breadwallet, so you'll either have to find out if this is possible, or if the private keys can be exported

2) you can double spend the input of this transaction... But transactions that depend on this one will be cancelled, and the same problem as in the first point arises (you need to sign a raw transaction)

3) you can pay a trusted pool to accelerate your tx

4) you can keep rebroadcasting the tx and wait it out

Hi - This is the first time I have asked for help with this - I understand the basics of bitcoin an have only had a couple of minor issues but two days ago I sent some coins and they are still unconfirmed - I wouldnt have minded but the fee was a third of what I was transfering!! Any way of helping?

Thanks in advance

It has a fee of allmost 400 sat/byte, this isn't technically sufficient, but i'm pretty sure that sooner or later, it'll get confirmed as long as you keep rebroadcasting the transaction from time to time.

If you want to speed things up, i'd like to know if you were the sender or receiver (or both) and which wallet software you used.

Can you please process this transaction? 6fa701e74f81ca64c43ee0621124c091dd90fcad4df195f3d751530cda2c66d5

It uses a fee of 200 sat/byte. The payment was sent to me, so I may not be able to provide TxRaw, wallet used, etc.

Hello All - I've been struggling to understand what could be holding up a transaction I made a few days ago.  I use the bitcoin-qt client and used it's fee calculator (I set to 40 minutes which worked fine for 2 transactions 2 days before that).  I have also made a transaction since this "stuck" one without problems. Some of the details:

Status: 0/unconfirmed, in memory pool
Date: 12/19/17 19:30
To: XXXXXXXX 3KSheFnMYCrtCqakBnU8L4VKPPMztkhSDa
Debit: -42.50000000 BTC

Transaction total size: 1872 bytes
Output index: 0

I paid almost 379 sat/B which should have been enough 2 days ago (I trusted the fee calculator in my client).  I've tried some of the free accelerators but I am not sure they do much of anything given the huge trading volumes we're all suffering through.  I've been reading a lot about the backup as of late - is my only option to wait for this transaction to kick out of the memory pool?  Any way I can accelerate the kick-out (or ensure I don't accidentally extend it)?  Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

I was sending from my tab wallet running github Bitwallet to myself on a website - but do not really have control of the web wallet just its spending balance - which it wont let me do until 2 confirmations - how do I re-broadcast?

OK thanks for the quick reply.
I don't think technically i can do options 1-2, I do not know where to start. And bread wallet is very limited, I will switch to another wallet.
And I understand that you cannot somehow execute those options either, correct ?
Is there a trusted pool you can link to? I have so far heard of pushtx.btc.com, is it legit?
Thanks alot!

Alright, I have tried following the tutorial, but getting stuck far too soon already lol. I think I will need some more time to learn slowly and will keep working on it. For now, would you be so kind to create the double spend tx with around 700sat/byte from the 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn wallet?

Thanks bud :)

So just a follow-up for anyone who's been reading this and has come across the same issue as me, here's what a dropped transaction looks like:

I was able to resend my bitcoin, but pheeeeew fees are high! Let's hope it goes through this time :)

if it wasn't obvious, I'm trying to send BTC (not receive). 

So with a reasonable transaction fee - why wouldn't this have gone through three days ago like my other transactions?  Any ideas?  Is something else at play here?

I regret that I did not put a bigger feed but if somehow it is possible for anyone to make this transaction work I would even pay just to have it confirmed.

I tried: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ but with no success it's impossible to get one slot.

This is the transaction from 19 december: d4ca7ba3702754406af052ed52b87ed575964fc2fce2df8c55022dd40921746e

This one's stuck.

Can someone please help to make it goes through ?

Hi, first of all, you are being most generous, thank you.

But before enlisting your help, I have a question. Yesterday I imported a paper wallet:
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/39f9ddbb24897f6dabd3394a2e7de0e7253e0d996d96236ff7ca95f94e156eb3
Or blockchain.info link (shows fees are 611.224 sat/B ):
https://blockchain.info/tx/39f9ddbb24897f6dabd3394a2e7de0e7253e0d996d96236ff7ca95f94e156eb3

The transaction is stuck although I believe with ~600 satoshi/byte I added enough fee to at least have it confirmed in a couple of hours (it has been 21 hours now).

My question is: I next preceded to transfer the btc to Bittrex:
https://blockexplorer.com/tx/812c46b909d4ab88abf7c8c2f2d7c2de6133b84c35788e4da96449fd2cf694dd

This is of course dependent on the first transaction because the wallet does not contain enough BTC if the first transaction is not confirmed.

Can the fact that I spend unconfirmed BTC be the cause of the delay of the first transaction? I can add fee to the second transaction in my Android wallet, but not to the first.

Thank you for your help, I might later on ask for help confirming transaction 1. If you want I can tip you, what would you think is appropriate? If I decide to do so, I will fill out a post properly for you.

Highest regards.

I just woke up this morning, and saw a lot of unanswered emails, PM's, replies on my blogposts and questions in this thread... I'll try to answer the questions i got in my thread in this post.

I'll be updating this post and adding more and more answers, so please check back untill your question has been answered.

I'd like to note that, since i seem to get a couple hundred help requests each week, i won't be able to spoonfeed any answers... I'll try to give everybody a push in the general direction to help them solve their problems by themselfs.
I no longer have the opportunity to push any transactions to any accelerator, this is something you'll have to do for yourself:

https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Question 1:

It's confirmed... My help is no longer needed :)

Question 2:

Well, the sender seems to have cheaped out on the fee... Depending on the wallet you used to receive the BTC, you can do a CPFP... Could you tell me the wallet software you used to generate the receiving address?

Question 3:

Since you were using core, i can only assume you created the last couple of tx's while the fee was still in the ~400 sat/byte range, then closed your client? When you re-started your wallet, it didn't immediately knew the "correct" fee, so it used the last-known good fee, which was, at that point, to low...

To solve your problem, there are a couple of options:
1) wait it out and try to double spend the inputs of your stuck transaction... You already figured that out yourself ;). Since you're using core, you'll need to start up your core wallet. I just found out the wiki has a nice how-to: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fee_bumping#Bitcoin_Core_GUI (the first 9 steps are necessary for your wallet to stop broadcasting), i'd personally suggest to wait a couple of days after step 9 has been completed, that way your tx will have been pruned from the mempool of most nodes

2) It seems there was a change address.. That fact will allow you to do a CPFP:  you could potentially use the output funding your change address 1JpkfjEz1LsefQWayGHPFGfp1mnV1QjJLv  to create a new transaction with a fee that is high enough to pay the fee for both the stuck transaction (parent) and the CPFP transaction (child)

3) if you're really desperate, as a last resort, you can use the payed accelerator service of viabtc.com or btc.com or f2pool

4) do nothing but keep rebroadcasting the transaction... I really believe (but cannot know 100% sure) that at some point, the fee will once again drop. If you just keep rebroadcasting the transaction (with bitcoin core, just opening your wallet once a day should be sufficient), sooner or later it'll probably end up in a block without any interference

Question 4:

I have a hard time understanding your problem, but rebroadcasting is pretty simple and can even be done using online tools only
1) search your transaction on blockchain.info... Make sure the url is like this: https://blockchain.info/tx/c33be8f735d280826cd13dbdee0e286b6b7268c80998f7835537bf1e9a85ec96 (sample tx from an earlyer question)
2) add ?format=hex at the end of the url (sample: https://blockchain.info/tx/c33be8f735d280826cd13dbdee0e286b6b7268c80998f7835537bf1e9a85ec96?format=hex )
3) copy the raw transaction printed on the screen
4) google for "bitcoin transaction broadcast online", find a couple of nodes that offer a gui for transaction broadcasting. Timelord2067 even created a thread where he collects nodes that allow rebroadcasting transactions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938621.0
5) just open the web gui's from step 4, paste the raw tx from step 3, submit and you're done
:)

Question 5:

Well, i don't have a lot of knowledge about breadwallet, if you succeed in switching to a wallet i know, like electrum, i can potentially guide you trough the next steps. I don't know if breadwallet uses a seed, if you can export your private keys, or your xprv... I'd personally try to find the answer to this question using google.

As for your second question, there are 3 pools that offer an legit paying txacceleration service (i've never used a payed service myself, but i've read positive things about these pools):
pushtx.btc.com
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
f2pool (you can contact them on bitcointalk by talking to macbook-air, the owner, or quickseller, a member with push privileges)

Question 6:
As a receiver, you're more or less bound to a couple options:
1) waiting it out while regularly rebroadcasting the tx (see question 4 for a howto)
2) creating a CPFP, which is pretty hard to do from an online wallet... I think you can switch from blockchain to electrum somehow. From electrum you can actually do this pretty easily. If you are unhappy with option 1, please try to move to electrum and ask me how to create a cpfp afterwards ;)

Question 7:

Sorry to tell you, but it's basically the same answer as question 6... As a receiver, you can either wait it out while rebroadcasting a transaction, or do a CPFP, which is really hard to do from a web wallet... Is there a possibility to switch your wallet from the web wallet to electrum or core? I have no experience with those web wallets, so i don't know if it's an option

Question 8:

Sure, just for reference, in case anybody wants to try this at home, i'll give the necessary steps:
there is one input with a value of  2.2599 BTC :  "3c43248fb49c6041860610c32be5659039499bf3ccda43a28ccb2d47bf4353d4" vout 0
there are 2 outputs, funding addresses 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn  and 3AbZaaKj4ZVomw4YKTTpraqQYbaesByTpJ
since the unspent output used for this tx is funding an address starting with 1, i can defenatly say it's not a segwit wallet without thinking twice
Some commercial interruption: i used my very own tool: https://www.mocacinno.com/page/feeestimate option 2, 1 input, 2 outputs, a "reasonable" fee is: 0.0017 BTC (it's not the best fee, but it should work)

So, we'll fund address 3AbZaaKj4ZVomw4YKTTpraqQYbaesByTpJ with 0.06418718 and we'll take the fee from the funding of address 1Nejxrk4Y9Q2eQ6YTd3hMi46uSnnN4Ghbn, so it should receive 2.2599 - (0.06418718  + 0.0017) = 2.19401282. I'm going to round this down to 2.194

From the command line

the resulting, raw, unsigned transaction is

Since i don't take responsability for any typos, you should run this unsigned tx trough a decoder before even attempting to sign it!
https://blockchain.info/decode-tx

In order to sign it with electrum, you should create an ascii file with a txn extension, and paste the following data into it:

Now, you should be able to go to tools => load transaction => from fille
Sign the transaction
Paste the transaction in a post and let me have a look before we broadcast :)

If this doesn't work, it might have something to do with the fact that i didn't try this procedure for quite a long time... It's possible you'll have to start up electrum in offline modus, but i can't remember from heart how to do this (info should be available in the electrum documentation, or questions can be asked in the electrum subforum)


Question 9:
Allways nice to see a followup, thanks for sharing :)

Question 10:

Well, the fee was reasonable, not really perfect i'm afraid... A fee this high gave you a good shot at getting a confirmation within a reasonable timeframe, but defenatly not a 95% chance... Calculating fees is maximising the odds of getting your transaction into the next x blocks... You had decent odds, but they were not optimal.

Question 11:
I can give you a few tips and pointers...
First of all, your transaction added a fee of 15 sat/byte while at this moment, a fee of >1000 sat/byte is optimal if you want a 95% chance of getting your tx in the next 3 blocks... So a transaction with this fee might take multiple months to confirm (if you keep rebroadcasting it).
Your non-technical options are rather limited
1) keep rebroadcasting the transaction (see question 4) and hope it'll *eventually* confirm
2) make sure the transaction is defenatly not rebroadcasted, wait a while, then try to restore your wallet on a different phone from backup and hope your wallet software "forgets" about the transaction. If it doesn't, it probably means that there is a record about this transaction stored in the backup, you can ask if there is a possibility to remove this record in the schildenbach wallet's subforum (i think it still exists).

The technical options could also work, but i don't know if they are possible using a mobile wallet... I think there is an option to export private keys from a schildenback wallet backup and import them into electrum or core... If you don't like the non-technical sollutions, i'd urge you to look into this option, as the technical sollutions actually need to be performed on a wallet i know (unless you find somebody else to help you with more intimate knowledge about the schildenbach wallet).
As a sender AND receiver, you can do the following things:
- double spend the inputs in a new transaction
- create a CPFP

Question 12:

Mycelium messed up, since this fee is defenatly not enough to have a decent chance of getting into any blocks the next couple of days/weeks... It's sufficient to get a confirmation *sometimes* tough, just don't hold your breath for it being any time soon.
Since the receiver is an exchange, the only thing you can do is from the sender point of view:
- there seems to be a change address, so you can attempt a CPFP
- you can double spend the unspent outputs used as an input for your transaction
- the tx isn't opt-in RBF, so you can't do that
- you can keep rebroadcasting the transaction and hope it'll *eventually* confirm
- you can stop rebroadcasting, save the raw tx (see question 4) "just in case", then try to restore your wallet in a couple of days, and hope mycelium will no longer show the stuck transaction and allows you to use the same unspent outputs to create a brand new transaction

In order to do a double spend or a CPFP, i think you'll need a decent desktop wallet... I don't think i can help you create one of these transactions using mycelium. Can you look into moving your wallet from mycelium to electrum or core?

Question 13:
I don't have time to wait for viabtc's tool to allow the next 100 free accelerations. I posted the link at the top of this post.
If you want more advice, please give me the information i need to put you on the right track (read the very first post of this thread)

Question 15:
I haven't had time to go trough your tutorial (yet), but any help i get is greatly appreciated :-)

Question 16:
If you want my advice, i'll need a little bit more info: like which wallet you used.
If you're willing to pay for an acceleration: the link you posted to viabtc also includes information about their payed acceleration service, btc.com and f2pool.com are also known to accept and execute payed accelerations.

Good luck!

Question 18:
I'm happy to help you out :)
There are several roads you can take:
1) wait it out, keep rebroadcasting the transaction by opening your wallet once in a while.. But with a 30 sat/byte fee, it *might* take weeks before the transaction finally confirms (it might even take months... It's all about odds, and right now, the odds of ending up in a block with a 30 sat/byte fee are really low)
2) you were on the right track with abandoning your transaction, you did forget a couple of steps that might explain why it didn't work. I stopped explaining the problem in my own words, since the guys of the wiki did a far better job than i ever could: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Fee_bumping#Bitcoin_Core_GUI . You need the first 9 steps to abandon the tx, but since you were sending to Bitpay, i'd suggest also spending at least one of the unspent outputs again, funding one of your own addresses... That way the "stuck" transaction will no longer be valid
3) a more nuclear option would be to stop your wallet, and restart it with the -zapwallettxes option, this will force a full rescan of all the blocks, and it will only add confirmed transactions to your wallet.
4) since you are the sender, but it looks like a change address was used, you could also attempt a CPFP by spending the unspent output from the stuck transaction that funds your change address in a new transaction whose fee is big enough to cover both the fee of the stuck transaction AND the CPFP transaction. Let me know if you need help

On a sidenote: i would contact bitpay before attempting step 1 or 4, i'd try to find out if they are still honoring the payment first ;)

Question 19:
Hi, could you add the extra info, as stipulated in the very first post of this thread?

Question 20:
There are a couple of problems with this transaction... The wallet used for sending was just a 'normal' (non-segwit) wallet, so (like you assumed correctly), the 400 sat/byte fee wasn't sufficient (it could have been sufficient if you were sending from a segwit wallet tough). But this isn't your main concern.
A 400 sat/byte fee will *eventually* confirm. I can only take a wild guess here, but i don't think it'll take weeks to confirm, as long as you keep rebroadcasting it.
The main problem is that this transaction uses an unspent output from an UNCONFIRMED transaction as it's input. Your transaction cannot confirm before transaction 472bc48974906b8727163c52d401d8a4b3f23c71c73e6ae6db6787108f273e61 confirms. Sadly, this parent transaction has a 24 sat/byte fee, so chances of THIS one confirming are not that good at the moment i'm afraid.
Could you tell me something about this stuck parent transaction, since this is the root problem?

Question 21:

Hi, i can give you a push in the right direction if i get more information about the problem (see the OP)

Question 22:

Hi,

Without a doubt, the stuck parent transaction is the reason the child isn't getting any confirmations.
Since the sweeping transaction still isn't confirmed.. I would personally try to double spend the unspent outputs that were funding your paper wallet in a transaction with a much higher fee... You could potentially fund bittrex'es deposit address directly, that way you only need to pay fees once.
In one of the previous questions, i showed how you can create raw transactions using bitcoin core, i also posted a link to a blogpost on how to create raw transactions using coinb.in

Let me know if you need any assistance!

Hello.
 transaction from local exchange to my ledger nano s stuck.


https://blockchain.info/tx/4d045b3127538d23e2de9c191a01ff28f346f594b892e7ab7d220081da13fe33


 should i wait for exchange to act?
 
did transfer get dropped/back to exchange after 72 hours?

is it to soon to accelerate it by myself( costly) or wait more(how much)?


thank you in advance                         regards

You, sir are A hero. Indeed I understand that the child will not go through without the parent, but I thought that was just a question of waiting for the parent to be confirmed, then waiting for the child. Since bot have > 600 satoshi/B fee they should come through, right? My question is, are the processes linked in the sense that the first transaction hangs because the second is dependent on it. Meaning: would the first transaction have gone through by now if I wouldn't have performed the second one without waiting for confirmation?

I can wait for another 12 hours, no problem but if you tell me that it will probably never go through, I will go for the options you present. And please post an address where can tip you. Your help in invaluable.

Edit: Sorry, just read the fninshing of your post, will PM you now.

Edit2: Sorry, hitting some limit in posting so the PM is saved as draft. Will PM later.

Question 1:
This transaction depends on an unconfirmed transaction, it can only be confirmed once the parent is also confirmed.
You can either pay for an acceleration service like viabtc.com, btc.com or f2pool.com, create a CPFP transaction paying the fees for the 3 transaction (the parent transaction, your transaction, and the CPFP transaction), wait it out while rebroadcasting the transaction, or demand that the exchange cleans up their mess.

Question 2:
Can't help you with the amount of information available, can you tell me if you're the sender/receiver and which wallet you used?

Question 3:
This is basically exactly the same problem as question 1, so the advice i gave this poster should also work for you

Question 4:
I saw that you posted right after my public service announcement, so i decided to move my public service announcement one post down and include your question to the final answer round, since the answer might also be interesting for other members ;)

It's basically the other way around: a parent will never get stuck because it's child has a low fee... But if the parent has a low fee, and the child has a much higher fee (in sat/byte), the high-fee child might actually speed up the confirmation for the low-fee parent.
It's quite simple actually, a miner wants to maximise his revenue. He cannot add the high-fee child to his block if the parent is still unconfirmed. If he wants the big fee, he is forced to add both the child and the parent to his block... This is what is commonly known as a CPFP :)

It doesn't work the other way around: if the parent has a high fee, and the child has a small fee, a miner can just add the parent to his block, and he doesn't have to add the child... This way he maximises his income even more :)

Public service announcement: This weekend is christmas weekend... I have a week off next week so i won't be hanging around the forum quite as much as i usually do.
Since i'm providing a free selfhelp service in this thread (i'm not getting payed to do this, i have no affiliation with this forum, nor with any service i recommand, exept when i link to my own website), i'd like to have the weekend with my wife and kid, so i'll be locking this thread for NEW questions for at least a week.

If you have RUNNING requests, you can PM me for follow up questions (include the link to the post where you initially asked your question on my thread. PM's not clearly proving they're follow up questions will *probably* get ignored). I do not give any guarantees as to the timing of my replys to any PM's.

If any other longtime member with basic knowledge wants to take over this thread during my absense (well, not really absense, i'll be hanging around, just not as much as i did the last couple of weeks), i can unlock the thread upon their request in PM.

Any posts below this one will get ignored, or deleted... Whichever i fancy!
