Title: 1000$ worth in Bitcoin stuck as unconfirmed transaction for 5 days
Post by: BuddhaGeo on December 13, 2017, 06:36:14 AM
I am in a bit of a pickle alright:

I bought around 1000USD in Bitcoins during the bull run in December 6-7 on an extremely low-maintenance site that has virtually no competent tech support.

Needless to say, they screwed up and attached a small fee (about 6.54 dollars) to the transaction. It has been up in the air since then and shows no signs of showing up in my designated wallet (shows up as pending with 0/2 confirmations).

This is it: https://blockchain.info/address/1KX47CJADYvZeU6CNk6d1emokj3pK2Dz62 & https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/b1f8fb905754dc36ad89c0c7b7989c297a06fd690e21806fd82f4d7c9183b2aa

I am also new to this myself, so I'm unsure if they actually had made the correct transaction on their end. Does all the data on the aforementioned look standard to you? It is the case of an unconfirmed transaction stuck due to a low fee?

I am ready to pay 20$ to anyone who figures out a solution to this problem. Is it possible for someone to actually mine this block so I get the money?

Please advise and help.

I've seen those, but I'd like someone with a tech-savvy eye to take a look at the transaction and tell me why there are so many unconfirmed inputs for my transaction? It's up to 5500+ bytes.

Plus, most of those services look very fake. They have just a homepage and demand payment up front, with no online review to attest that they are actually real and not scams.

Contact your site admins or support(where ever you brought). I also have issue with cex.io and they will sort out it.

They said they cannot re-broadcast it with a higher fee and that there is nothing else they can do.
