Title: TRANSACTION STUCK, how to cancel? Post by: jisokoo on December 20, 2017, 06:03:21 PM Hi all,
I made a transaction this morning and put by mistake a fee that is too low, for this reason 8h later no confirmation... How can I cancel the transaction to make a new one? https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/d81402c8a26f232075e73cc528e4974cb5cccd7d15d79e40fae9931beccb70c7/ Title: Re: TRANSACTION STUCK, how to cancel?

Maybe someone else knows a way? You may be out of luck. Title: Re: TRANSACTION STUCK, how to cancel?

Maybe someone else knows a way? You may be out of luck. Indeed, a transaction doesn't get cancelled by request. There are 2 options: 1. Wait until the network forgets / drops your transaction. 2. Double spend: Send a new transaction with the same inputs as the bad one, but send it to yourself and use a much higher fee so you make sure it gets confirmed. The problem with [1] is that the wallet may re-broadcast the transaction. Some wallets do that, but I don't know which does and which doesn't. To solve [1] you can make the wallet forget the transactions (-zapwallettxes option if you use Core wallet, you better backup it first). For [2] you need the same "forgetting" and also either send out (to yourself) all your money, either ask somebody smarter than me to build a transaction for you with the correct inputs. From what I know [1] may take 2 weeks after some changes in the newest Bitcoin Core and [2] may be very expensive.

Post by: jisokoo on December 20, 2017, 11:59:25 PM I cannot double spend either I think, it just says "Coloured coin failed to broadcast the transaction"
