I need some help please, and willing to pay for your trouble.

I need a miner to please please include my transaction id a block.
I received a payment from a "guy" that did not added the fees and the transaction is stuck for ages in queue even if is listed as "Estimated Confirmation Time    Very Soon (High Priority)"

I really need it confirmed today. I will pay the fees and a coffe/coke/beer to whoever willing to help.

Transaction ID:
1df84d3949b05b5acbe017304e44fbb4403d4c87bbc9b1dfc332dccbc5dcfee9



you need a miners anyway :) you need more than 1 confirmation to be able to spend your bitcoins.

Anyway I think you will have to wait few more hours to get confirmed.

Do not worry :)

Kind regards!

You can try to re-spend the output.  Send it to another address that you control and include a fee large enough to compensate miners for both transactions.

If any miners have implemented the "child pays for parent" concept, they may confirm both transactions at once to get the fee from the second transaction.

Honestly, I don't think any mining pools have implemented the concept yet.  I really think they should.  It would provide increased income for the pool and would solve problems like this.

Hehe :)
I hope you will get confirmations soon.

I guess in few hours you will get it for sure :)

and for 100% you will get it - just can't say when :P

Educate your customers - they should put at least minimum fee 0.0001 BTC which is cheaper than a box of matches :)

Unfortunately, I don't think this is a great idea. It creates a moral hazard where senders don't include fees with the expectation that the recipient will make another transaction with a lot of fees if they really want the coins that badly.
