I transferred my bitcoins from CEX.io to Gemini exchange but it has been stuck unconfirmed on blockchain for a while... the fee was supposed to ~ $110, but it has been over 8 hours.  Can some good miners on this community help ?

I believe the tx number is:

 e7651c62ed1b693a561b36f319de0184ee6ea408654994d1282279a2eace985c

Thank you in advance for all your help - and happy new years to all !

You have such a huge number of inputs that the fee you offer makes only 22 satoshis per byte.

I withdraw from cex.io they didn't give me any option for fast transaction...

Some miner on this forum offered to help for free - will see !

A gentleman, who is also a miner name Damir offer to help me and here's what he found:

Hi Damir:  Thanks a lot for trying to help.  I'm keeping this conversation on here so other could benefit from knowing my situation.


I'm posting this to inform others my situation because I did my trade recently with CEX.iO ( located in England but perhaps being run by Indian or Polish immigrants) - though I think newly immigrant business in general are doing very well in the U.K. And the US.  These people are conducting  quite a shady business practice...they took on my bitcoins without any issues, but have done a terrible job at providing clear information and made my life and others very difficult when it time to withdraw your funds...I've read many nightmare story about they hold people funds for long time (up to months) and come up with excuses not to allow the customers to withdraw their money....So I made a big lost and purchased CEX bitcoin at 11% higher premium in order to transfer my coins back to Gemini.  The withdraw was confirmed by Gemini but since CEX.io did not give me any options for fast transaction, my bitcoins are currently stuck in low transaction unconfirmed status...

Keep in mind I've been using Gemini to do all my trading previously and never faced any delay, none what so ever !  The longest was when I transferred my bitcoins to CEX.io and it may have taken ~10,15 minutes... but this is a nightmare...

Do you know how to raise the fee to speed it up ?

I can't believe a supposedly professional exchange would pay such a stupidly low fee. If I were you I'd raise hell with Cex.io and other than dodgy accelerators that's your only option. That particular transaction is going nowhere with that fee.

I could not believe it either CEX.io is a terrible company- they do more bad stuffs than just low tx fee.  Here's my comments with one of their rep on reddit:

After lots of reading still I could not get my tx confirmed:

ViaBTC wanted 2.5 BHC

CONFIRMTX is a hoax


Help !

Check out https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.

yet another cex.io's blunders. They're starting to get on my nerve, another one of my friend user on this forums is currently facing the similar issue.  I see the fees was 22s/b which is ridiculously low, whats even worse is the denial of option to change the fees.
what are their replies on this? Please let me know.

Thank you for your support:

The transaction size is 40907 bites, the size of tx when I moved from Gemini to CEX.com was only 280 bites...

So far there has been no response from CEX.io customer support yet - albeit , it's the New Years , so I will wait for a couple more days.

I plan to HODL my bitcoins for now so I think I could wait.  But, so long as I don't have my bitcoins on my hand, I'm a little nervous...

Just a quick update:

The viabtc (free one) does not work for my case - even with someone else, a hero member from this forum who regularly help others, could sneak in my transaction...

The viabtc paid service wanted 2.5 bcc, which is ~ $6,500.

I escalated with cex.io the exhange whose supposed to transfer my coins to Gemini never responded back to me...

BTW, I tried to send some btc to the other hero member (whose tried to help me) from breadwallet, a $10 worth of btc will cost $13 transaction fee...Is there a better way for me to donate btc to others...?

It seems that at the current stage, there is nothing we can do about the transaction as we cannot impact the blockchain. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think the first 100 pushes every hour or block or whatever on the Viabtc accelerator are free but by this point bots must fill it instantly.

As for tipping someone, you're better off - and whisper it - using something like LTC instead.

i also sent my btc from blockchain to binance yesterday. Its been more than 12 hours now.
what do you guys think?

You're up shit creek. Your fee is only 29 satoshis per byte which is far too low. You might get lucky and activity will fall, but at this moment in time you're likely to be stuck for a lengthy time or it'll come back to your wallet unmined.

In future check this - https://bitcoinfees.earn.com

so i cant do anything? Just wait? ??? ;D

Other wallets would let you repay with a higher fee, child pays for parent, but I don't think blockchain.info does. You can try the various accelerators but there are now so many and I don't know how many are any good. Other than that wait and pray.

Alternatively you could import your blockchain.info seed into another wallet that does have the child pays for parent feature and you should be able to do it from there.

It's 118.316 sat/B and 29.579 sat/WU which is the normal fee but since blockchain is over loaded with over 1 lakh transactions, none of the transactions with even 400 sats are getting confirmed in time. Exchanges on top are making it even worse by sending 100's of transactions at a time with minimal fee.

Anyone could write short step by step guide for me how to do child pays for parent payment?? Keen to pay 2 ark coin for guide:)

Import your seed into Electrum and do this.

When you're importing a blockchain.info into Electrum seed you need to click on the options buttons and check bip39 or it won't recognise it correctly.

Unless you're in an insane hurry it might be worth waiting a couple of days to see if you clear. I misread your fee. It's still too low but not ridiculously low as I misinterpreted.

ill wait day or two and then try your guide. if works then 2 ark is in your pocket :)

Buy yourself something nice and remember me when I'm dead and gone instead.

It takes 3-5 days now

Hello CEX.io support:

It's been over five days since you have sent my transaction with such an extremely low fee (22 sat/ B).  You cannot claim that it's not under you control.  In the contrary, it was  completely and solely under you control when you had decided to pick 22 sat/B for my withdrawal transaction...I see it is still waiting in line, but your fee keeps letting people keeps perpetually cut in front me.  The line is only getting longer - waiting for how long is reasonable, two days ? Two years ?

Once again, claiming that your customer's  transactions get stuck unconfirmed on the blockchain - because you don't give them any choice - as you decided to pick the extremely low and unreasonable fee for your customers withdraws is solely under your control !!

On the perhaps of all your customers and the victims of your bad business practices ( borderline unethical), we demand that you to fix your mess as soon as possible !

Accelerated through viabtc. Should get confirmed soon.

Hello Anarc Senior, I found myself in same transaction. CEn you pls. check private massage. REgards.

How did you do that 17 minutes past the hour? Usually you only have around 1-2 seconds whenever the new hour starts. ( Due to the massive amounts of users willing to accelerate with only 100 slots).

Are you using their Customer-Only Service? Something here tells me you're lying about accelerating his transaction  ::).


Or did it really take you 17 minutes and 45 seconds to typ that sentence?  

I wouldn't say that that is the norm right now, more like 220 sat/b, according to https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

Hello you refered to another person tx, not mine right ? Because another Hero member and I have been trying ViaBTC and so far it doesn't work...

My txID is below, if you could give it a shot at, I'd be greatly appreciated it...
