Title: Unconfirmed transaction Post by: abspeedy on May 08, 2020, 11:15:04 PM I have an unconfirmed transaction from 8 hours ago. The fee I paid was 32.505 sat/B. Is this expected for the low fee I used?

Right now, transactions are bearing the 50 sat/byte+ fee, so you will probably need to wait a bit more: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blobdd12f15300e0d86d.png Or, if you are the one receiving the transaction or you sent through Electrum with the RBF flag enabled, you may speed up the transaction with CPFP (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4odi90/can_someone_explain_cpfp_child_pays_for_parent/) or RBF. Title: Re: Unconfirmed transaction Post by: HCP on May 09, 2020, 12:07:52 AM Yeah, your fee rate is 4-5 full blocks from the tip:
https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/zjUYJ.png To get confirmed within the next 5 blocks, you'd need for no-one to add any transaction(s) with a higher fee rate than yours :-\ Given what is happening with the network right now, and the BTC-$ price flirting with USD$10k... I'd expect things to be quite chaotic for a while. As TryNinja has suggested, your only options at this point are: 1. Wait. 2. Bump the fee if your wallet supports "RBF" (Replace-by-fee) and you marked the transaction as "RBF opt-in". 3. Try and use "CPFP" (Child Pays For Parent) if you have control over any of the outputs created by this transaction. 4. Spend $$$ trying to use a paid transaction accelerator service like: https://pushtx.btc.com/ 5. Try the free (but difficult to get a slot) accelerator at: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ (limited to 100 slots per/hr, usually fills within 5 seconds of a new hour starting! :o) Be wary of all the "scam" accelerators tho... they don't work and there are plenty of them about! Title: Re: Unconfirmed transaction Post by: abspeedy on May 09, 2020, 01:45:38 AM It was through the blockchain app so that limits my options. Shits been unconfirmed for about 11 hours now.

I was reading your topic at '58 mins so, with nothing better to do, I did submit your tx in the first seconds. Anyhow, the mempool will start going down, the weekend is here.

Just wait a little more Title: Re: Unconfirmed transaction Post by: HCP on May 09, 2020, 04:08:14 AM The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 114 satoshis/byte Firstly, as I mentioned in the post immediately above yours, with the pretty pictures... OPs transaction is already confirmed! ::)Just wait a little more Secondly, where are you getting your fee information from? Or was your 114 a typo and you mean 14? Because 114 is WAAAYYYYYYYY too much... https://talkimg.com/images/2023/11/15/zVO4o.png Currently, anything north of 20-25 sats/byte is likely to be 1 or 2 blocks... 114 is just ridiculous!!?! ::) ::) You just copy/pasted from: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ right? Don't use that site... it's terrible at telling you what the best fees are... :P If you want "simple" and don't want to put any effort into figuring out what to use... try this one: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx It's much much better than the earn.com one. Title: Re: Unconfirmed transaction Post by: romelitounknown on May 09, 2020, 04:09:08 AM Yes that is normal, i did transfer my eth last night it would take 5 hrs before the completion of transaction so i decided to increase the fee and it goes well.

Pretty sure ETH & Bitcoin network has different congestion. 5 hours of ETH transactions does not sound so good btw. You might want to check your fees as that network spike more often.

Is this expected for the low fee I used? https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/5caaf02c7226d9c861838ae80187cd869fcd055b63a07ca6fa4f570134538798 Yup, that is usual specially if you select all remaining balance. make sure to either lessen your total amount to transfer or also increase the fee and that should solve your problem.

My recent transaction was stuck for two days because i used less fee too. I think we should use the default fee if we want the transaction to be confirmed on time. If you can wait for some time, you may opt for less fee but if you need to confirm in quick time, we need to increase the tx fee.

Lowering the amount to transfer wont always make the transaction faster, it doesn't work that way.If the user have received a lot of small transactions and it takes 10-30 of them to send the desired amount, then it will work, but most of the time (like in OP's case), the client will only use one input so lowering the amount wont do anything. Info: It all depends on the size (vByte) of the transaction (more inputs/outputs = higher size) and the fee rate that you've set. The higher the size the higher the total fee that you will need to pay but the priority will still be based from the fee rate (sat/B). Eg.:
This explains how to avoid having multiple inputs: Consolidate your small inputs!

I generally select normal fee for my transaction and they get confirmed within half an hour. If you reduce the fee then there are chances that your transaction might not be picked up by the miners. This can cause your transaction to remain unconfirmed for more than 24 hours or it might never.
