Title: Unable to increase fee of Replaceable transaction
Post by: setec on December 23, 2017, 01:46:06 PM
In Electrum I have a bunch of transactions that have been stuck for about 3 days now. They are labelled as "replaceable".

Right click > Increase fee and move slider all the way to the right to set the highest possible fee. Then I "sign" the transaction and then "broadcast". Then I get an error saying "error: the transaction was rejected by network rules. 66: insufficient fee"

Currently the fee is already listed at 236.25 sat/B on blockchain.info: https://blockchain.info/tx/ab163d32abc0b008f233ede45f5f7fb481016d92916ba4d3384446f27a202b8d

How can I get this transaction unstuck?

Have you tried changing the server? If not, go to green/red light at the bottom right, you will see a list of servers, right click one of them and choose "Use as server".

Hey, thanks for that. I selected another random server. How soon should I expect to see some movement?

you can try bumping the fee again. currently recommended fees are 400 sat/B
