Title: Bitcoin Transaction Stuck for 7 days,HELP!!!!
Post by: kyll_7 on December 05, 2017, 08:03:48 AM
Hi Guys,

I chose the lowest fee to send Bitcoin via Bitcoin Core :'(

I've tried running -zapwallettxes to delete unconfirmed transaction, and send BTC again, but it didn't work. WHAT SHOULD I DO ???

Please HELP!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!

this tx doesn't exist on blocktrail explorer (at this time) and maybe a few other nodes
so if you can create a new tx with higher fee you can try push it to other nodes
if you do it fast and right, your old tx with lower fee might be dropped by current nodes

What does it mean if the tx doesn't exist on blocktrail explorer??
How to create a new tx with higher fee??

I've tried send BTC with a higher fee again, but the new transaction shows "0/unconfimed,in memory pool", also cannot find the transaction on block explorer.

Thank You :)!!!!!!!!

exactly what you just tried with higher fee. doesn't exist = not seen by that particular node

get the hex rawtx by going to debug > console, then type getrawtransaction "your-new-txid"
and push it here https://blockexplorer.com/tx/send or https://insight.bitpay.com/tx/send to broadcast the tx
make sure this time the new tx has sufficient, not too low tx fee

Is the new transaction fee still too low?? It's still an unconfirmed transaction...

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

well it's still somewhat low (11 sats/byte) compared to current recommended min tx fee
bitcoinfees.earn.com ~150 satoshis/byte or btc.com ~125 Satoshis/byte | 0.00125 BTC/KB
but you should just wait, you might get lucky ;) it gets queued and included in a blockcain within a few days

could've saved a lot if you just wait and see for a day or so
even with 50 sats/byte probably would be confirmed in less than a day
but all is good, it gets confirmed really fast "Time until confirmed   after 32 minutes" on blocktrail

Hi Thirdspace

my transaction has been unconfirmed for 13 hours now

Tx id f00c57a1b8029484f20cf9671428c214c58fc7657e162f8aab2ea7ba9ac0facd

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Because you send it with the lowest satoshi per byte. You should send with normal transaction. Or wait for the transaction fee to go down
