Title: Stuck TX Post by: Tyrantt on February 01, 2018, 12:02:12 PM S yesterday I've made a tx and blockchain.info gave me a min fee of 5sat/b apparently so I thought nothing of it since the fee has been constantly going down that day but it looks like the fee jumped and now the tx is stuck and viabtc isn't working anymore. Are there any transaction accereleration services that I may use?

Are there any transaction accereleration services that I may use? Did you send the BTC from blockchain.info to another Bitcoin wallet that you control? Then CPFP (Child Pays for Parent) may be an easy method to get your transaction confirmed. This trick unfortunately only works if you are in control of the recipient address. If you sent your coins from blockchain.info to an exchange or a gambling site this won´t help you. Irrespective of this I think that you will get a confirmation eventually, because the mempool only contains 39k transactions as of now and some of these probably have an even lower fee than 5sat/b. Title: Re: Stuck TX Post by: Alone055 on February 01, 2018, 01:22:01 PM No matter how down the fees get, paying 5sat/B is still not recommended if you want your transaction to get confirmed earlier. Miners don't include transactions with micro fees to their blocks and it causes the transactions to get stuck for a very long time. I think it is better to pay the recommended fees than paying a accelerator service to push the transaction. Anyway, you should try https://pushtx.btc.com/ or http://confirmtx.com/. Maybe one of them can do the work for you.

Title: Re: Stuck TX Post by: BillCoin on February 02, 2018, 01:51:10 PM Don't worry, coins are not getting lost.
First of all, I would recommend you to use other wallet then blockchain.info, as this wallet is cloud based and is not safer as a desktop wallet or an hardware wallet. If you are still choosing to use it, make sure that you update the fee settings so you won't broadcast any low fee transactions anymore. Bitcoins are not getting lost, it's either they are getting delivered to the destination(in this case, the address that you sent them to), or they are not getting confirmed at all and they are getting returned to the origin wallet. At both cases, you are not going to lose anything at all. Title: Re: Stuck TX Post by: ralle14 on February 02, 2018, 04:22:41 PM Blockchain.info's wallet recommends me the same amount of regular fee on my bitcoin transaction yesterday. I knew it wasn't accurate after I check bitcoinfees.21.co and used custom fees so I can increase the fees to 30sat/byte. I already learned my lesson not to trust the recommended fees from blockchain as they won't be accurate most of the time.

There are many people offering free transaction accelerators. I have previously used free ones to confirm a transaction where I mistakenly paid 7 sats/b instead of 70. Got it confirmed in about 6 hours.
