Title: Bad transaction?
Post by: ghostbtcuser_69 on December 19, 2017, 08:00:59 PM
Hi to all,
09/12/17 I entered with Bitcoin Core 0.15.1 for Mac one transaction with to low fee (I'm a BTC wallet inexperienced user   ::)) transaction ID: 7e4c59354b46d75a2f2df689dc0b03905aab85acfcacd02f1acc2e40c82d38de

16/12/17 I abandoned that unconfirmed transaction (after the related menu option became available) and re-entered the same transaction with an higher fee
transaction ID: 3c25bb7e62833533c87aea751f8998701ac6771fc6a684fad63a2126c49c0962

My wallet now display the 1th transaction as abandoned and the 2th as unconfirmed, but on https://blockchain.info/ the 1th transaction is displayed as unconfirmed and the 2th as "not found".

Please, what should I do to exit from this vicious circle?

Thanks in advance

Blockchain.info shows your first transaction. But with a fee of 1 sat/B it won't get confirmed.
However.. blockcypher[1] for example abandoned your first transaction and recieved your second transaction sitting in their mempool.
In this case you have to wait until a miner (with the 2nd tx in the mempool) will mine a block and include your transaction into it.
Quite a few don't even accept transaction with 1 sat/B anymore.. so this TX probably will get 'dropped from the network' soon.

You mean that your transaction is still unconfirmed? https://blockchain.info/tx/3c25bb7e62833533c87aea751f8998701ac6771fc6a684fad63a2126c49c0962 has a fee of 50sat/b, which is extremely low.

The only way your transaction is going to be accepted is if you let a miner prioritize it. (Accelerators such as https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/.) Note that due to the enormous amounts of requests you literally only have 5 seconds at the beginning of each hour to try and get your transaction in.

Or, if you still control the private keys of the (un)spent adress, Do a CPFP transaction with ~1000 sat/b fee.

There are a few tx accelerators you can use but almost all of them charge fees, if its not worth paying more for, simply wait it out. Or you can try https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ , good luck with that though as they only attend to 100 free per hour.

Bro now the fees completely not bearable one in the all the wallet providers but the fees are modified to cheap means it takes more than 3 days or something. You will find the transaction reached to destination wallet for sure it delays that it. Since the segwit2x is inprogress so you will not get the transaction reached to your wallet soon.
Please wait or use the below antpool accelerator link. It may work for you so try it bro.

If I don't pay any accelerator service, how long I should wait for the pool delete my transaction so I can see my BTC as available in my wallet?

Depends, really. The default behavior for reference client is 2 weeks. It's not about the miners, mainly. If the majority of the nodes still have your transaction in their mempool, your transaction's propagation would be terrible and your transaction would have a miniscule chance of getting to the miner.

Your fees are still way too low for it to confirm anytime soon. You have to do the abandontransaction again and send it with a higher fee for you to have any chance of it confirming.

Run Bitcoin Core with -zapwallettxes. It would remove and rescan the blockchain to only display the confirmed transactions. Both of your transactions will be removed.

Sorry, how can I run Bitcoin Core with "-zapwallettxes"? I use the Mac version: do it exist a terminal command line version?
