Tried sending btc from https://blockexplorer.com/address/1Kefj9Sca7ZRvGhxRi9LcnPJjCGYC8kkcQ to the address of https://blockexplorer.com/address/1CV3PFdb8ssf88fhpQDHtSBoH9Tts95ajs

Was my fee too low? How to get my btc back? This is the first time it's ever happened before and I'm worried about losing my btc that it will never confirm and just be stuck.

No the fee is not really low but at this time maybe it is a bit low not very low.
It is totally normal fee I have sent transactions with that fee and everything goes correctly.

Now you can only pray that It get confirm or you can use free transaction accelerator such as ViaBtc, Or I have seen many guys here who push transaction for free try to use them so your transaction get confirmed soon.

nope you paid a decent fee.
you won't lose your bitcoin the worst thing that can happen is that the transaction will be dropped by the network and you will get your bitcoin to your first sending wallet, what you can do now is try some free btc accelerators such as this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2392715.0;topicseen

hope he can help you

You can increase the fee you pay after broadcasting a transaction if you have either the private key of a sending address (via replace-by-fee) or the private key of a receiving address (via child-pays-for-parent). If it's not urgent you might as well wait it out.

I don't think that it will be dropped by the network, the fee is not low so I think that it will get confirm in next 24 hours max. If he uses some transaction accelerator it will get confirmed soon. Next time dude put a bit higher fee then usual.


Yes, This method will also help you @OP.

blockchain.info doesn't accept replace by fee nor childs pays for parent method

The transaction shows 261 sat/byte.
https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx shows that a good fee now would be 1000 sat/byte.
I find that unreasonably high, but the network is again under spam attack...
Quite shame too few use SegWit...

Edit: try to ask somebody to accelerate this for you
Edit2: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2393902.0 to accelerate

Sure it does, I just did CPFP the other day. If you have the private keys blockchain.info can't tell you what you can and can't do with them.

yeah i know but you are missing the point here.. you can't get your private key from blockchain.info

You are able to generate your private key from seed phrase.
Here is the way to do it - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2063572.0

Thanks a lot for this info man i really needed this. i tried contacting blockchian.info support before to export my private key but they refused to give it to me they said that they don't have access to users private keys bla bla bla...

Thanks again for the info cheers ;)
