Title: unconfirmed for over 24 hours / FINALY CONFIRMED AFTER 30 HOURS!!!
Post by: kcsunshine on December 08, 2017, 01:44:41 AM
Hi guys,

I have an unconfirmed transaction that was sent over 24 hours ago to by an associate of mine to my exchange. He used the blockchain.info  wallet to send it, and sent it with normal fees. The total sent was 1 btc.

I realize now that the network is very congested and that fees have sky-rocketed, and as a result, the normal fee might be too low.


Upon examination of the blockchain, nothing appears to be wrong. The fees per byte are   100.322 sat/B. Can someone please take a look at this and see if everything seems O.K.


Can he resend the transaction with a higher fee? He said he would be willing to do so. What would be the exact procedure to do this without getting myself into anymore trouble. Again he is using the blockchain.info wallet on his phone. I am adding the txid  and send address below.

txid
https://blockchain.info/tx/08663bd4faea1e61b2db5e007d333b132fbbeef7339399609b225dece377d11d (https://blockchain.info/tx/08663bd4faea1e61b2db5e007d333b132fbbeef7339399609b225dece377d11d)



UPDATE:

CONFIRMED BY USING ACCELERATOR SERVICE. SEE MY LAST POST! I AM SO HAPPY. THANK YOU GUYS!!!

thank-you kindly

This post should help a lot:

You are right from what I saw, it just has a lower few. He could also try child pays for parent -explained in that  link along with accelerators.

Hi,

yes, i saw that post, however, I am not that technical, can someone tell me if this transaction looks clean, and if it will eventually confirm? I read that post and I am actually beginning to worry now, all kinds of things could happen.

Thank-you kindly

It does look okay to me.  You might try this

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

Try it right at the top of the hour since it only takes a limited number of submissions.

Also the child pays for parent is easy in some software. I’m not sure about blockchain.info though.

It is clean insofar as it doesn't generate any dust UTXOs, and it isn't spending from any unconfirmed parent transactions.

The only "problem" seems to be the low fees... current recommended fees are in the 350-400 sats/byte level, this transaction only pays 100 sats/byte. :-\

It *should* confirm at some point, but given the current network congestion of 170,000+ unconfirmed transactions, it could take a while for fees to drop back to a "normal" level and for this transaction to be included by a miner. As suggested, try the ViaBTC accelerator... otherwise, your only option is to simply wait.

I will try viabtc again, however, earlier i tried it, and it told me maximum request received, please try again later. Will the network eventually forget about my transaction if it takes too long to confirm and return it to the sender or is that unlikely?

to be clear, this was sent to my poloniex account for trading, and the sender sent it from his blockchain wallet.  What about using a paid service such as btc.com? they are accepting payments in bitcoin cash and say they can get it confirmed in a short period time. I am really worried that the network will forget. I also don't want this to turn into a double spend. could the sender screw me here in any way?

Like I said before, try viabtc right at the top of the hour, e.g.
xx:00:00

Make sure you use the clock on your phone or computer so they are accurate.

Everything looks fine, except the fee is low.

OK,


I just used http://confirmtx.com/ (http://confirmtx.com/) to accelerate the transaction, hopefully this will work. The fee that was used to send is not that terrible, but it does have me a little worried.


Can I accelerate more than once? Does it help or will it cause problems?  How do accelators work, and do they really work??


Thanks, again

Ok,

I will try viabtc at the top of the hour like you said, but does it matte at all that i allready accelerated with another accelerator?

thanks for your help

O.K. I just successfully accelerated with viabtc as well. Now I will wait. I hope this gets confirmed, and thanks again for your valuable help. Everyday is a learning experience for me with this.
