Title: Transaction stuck - help Post by: crendore3 on November 14, 2018, 10:04:01 PM This transaction is not confirming. I added "20 minutes" in bitcoin core, yet it's not confirming for a long time now. What should I do? The fee is too low?

Title: Re: Transaction stuck - help Post by: LoyceV on November 14, 2018, 10:14:51 PM Fees are always an estimate based on past transactions. Fees can go up, which is what happened when mempool filled up with the recent Bitcoin price drop.
You can use CPFP or RBF, but unless it's time sensitive, I would just wait. Your transaction will confirm when fees drop again. |
