Hi, so heres my issue, 2 days ago i transferred some bitcoin from a wallet on my laptop at my dads house via Bitcoin Knots, here is the current transaction via Blockchain - https://blockchain.info/tx/8841cfe96ead2d1351e381ac4438cf26f22572c133db1e8ab1904285192fb46f i used a fairly small amount for the fee.

Now, just after i sent coin to my current wallet that i use with Blockchain, Bitcoin Knots froze and crashed, however it said the coin had been sent so i left thinking it would do the 3 conformations without an issue and headed home - 75 miles away... so today, i attempted to sell my coin with Bittylicious, went through the normal process, checked the amount in my wallet, said the was coin there (0.008) sent it to the seller - here is the current transaction - https://blockchain.info/tx/264dd9a129977cccc1cbae99f05b6d5ccd7a09bde012ad6ee35e99e126f994d9

But 30 minutes later the transcation was cancelled due to no conformations, only at this point did i realise that the coin i sent from my laptop back at my dads place had not confirmed at all and is still currently pending.... yet 3 days ago i transferred 0.007 coin to my blockchain wallet from the laptop - same bitcoin knots wallet, again i used a small amount for the fee and it was all done in under 30 minutes (including selling the coin)

Now this would not be that much of an issue however im a student, im broke as hell at the moment and i have bills to pay, so until erlier i thought i was all good as its only a phone bill so i thought i would deal with it via selling some coin... now im in this situation...

Can anyone please tell me whats going on as on blockchain transaction it says "lock time - 480022" i dont understand this and researching is not helping, i have heard you can push transactions to get them confirmed quicker but i still dont know how or what to do...

Can anyone please help me out here  :'( :

Sorry for disrupting ur thread but I'd need some help with pushing my transaction aswell.

Here's my tx id : https://blockchain.info/tx/b20b14ffd85e0dd8a1b18685991709618846dfca91b6ac9d33dd94a8081ef3d1

Hope we both get some help, I was dumb, just bought some btc and didn't do any research cuz blockchain is probably worst wallet out there.

just ignore the "Lock Time Block: 480022" it won't affect your tx because current block height is already 498017
the problem here is you're using unconfirmed unspent from a tx with very low fee
both transactions are not visible on blocktrail, so there's a chance these don't exist in other nodes too
You should re-create new transaction for this 8841cfe96ead2d1351e381ac4438cf26f22572c133db1e8ab1904285192fb46f (https://blockchain.info/tx/8841cfe96ead2d1351e381ac4438cf26f22572c133db1e8ab1904285192fb46f)
and exclude 1BKTiAosfyFspEqLzoLeko2un7Xb2XpDr6 0.00001 BTC to save on tx size and fee
then set higher tx fee to it and broadcast it to other nodes, you could save even more by sending straight to 1EsJ2HjeQ...

and don't create this dust unspent 1QGuhTsSH481T1mt8W5jzZebjPYNb1XLr3 0.00000774 BTC
as in txid 264dd9a129977cccc1cbae99f05b6d5ccd7a09bde012ad6ee35e99e126f994d9 (https://blockchain.info/tx/264dd9a129977cccc1cbae99f05b6d5ccd7a09bde012ad6ee35e99e126f994d9)

I have accelerated the transaction 264dd9a129977cccc1cbae99f05b6d5ccd7a09bde012ad6ee35e99e126f994d9
You could accelerate transactions by yourself by visiting the free accelerating websites like confirmtx.com and viabtc . You have set the fee for the transaction ID 8841cfe96ead2d1351e381ac4438cf26f22572c133db1e8ab1904285192fb46f very low and that's why it has not been confirmed yet. The fee is just 1 sat per byte. Consider at least 90-100 sats per byte for any transaction. You should be more generous and pay the miners some additional fee for their contribution towards the Bitcoin network. This transaction was already been accelerated by someone else.

So can more then one person accelerate a transaction? plus nothing has changed so far? still not been confirmed?

Hello, can someone help me too:
https://blockchain.info/tx/29d502e1a3f48bd98326d9838fbcc9dbe947781d94a1f061182b5a5612e877f6

113 sat/B should've been enough...but it looks like it isn't :(!

Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat.  Used Blockchain many times but never had an issue before.  Mine says 91 sat/b but not sure how to change that, if thats even possible.  The fee was automatically set so I didn't mess with that.  Just used what they set up.

So even after people have said they have accelerated the transaction, still nothing? so guessing i will just have to wait?

https://blockchain.info/tx/8841cfe96ead2d1351e381ac4438cf26f22572c133db1e8ab1904285192fb46f
this tx most likely will never be confirmed with current high-fee-fully-jammed bitcoin network situation
I have similar transactions with 1 sat/byte fee that still stuck in limbo for a month now
you should either do RBF if possible or try double spend by pushing the tx with higher fee to other nodes

Yeah that's true. Any number of persons can accelerate a transaction but the catch is that a transaction can be accelerated only a limited number of times within a specific time. For example the transaction on viabtc can be accelerated once in every hour. So any person can be able to accelerate a given transaction.
You are having a really bad luck since the Bitcoin network is congested at the moment. Only the transactions with much higher fees are getting confirmed. The current transaction fee is around 275 sats per byte. God knows when will your transaction be confirmed.
