Title: Bitcoin transaction unconfirmed since 8 hours Post by: fentanyl08 on August 25, 2020, 03:06:20 PM Hello! I sent a $2 worth bitcoin transaction from my blockchain.info wallet and set the fee to the recommended "Regular" but the transaction is still unconfirmed since 8 hours https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/ec135ab9221318121a1994598425886f126a7101438a8b9a563c83628400205e
Is there any way to get this confirmed? Title: Re: Bitcoin transaction unconfirmed since 8 hours Post by: ranochigo on August 25, 2020, 03:14:59 PM The mempool has been spiking periodically today. If the trend persists, you should have the transaction confirmed within a day or two.
A little advice, don't use Blockchain.info wallet. They are pretty unreliable in terms of fee estimates and is generally a bad wallet to use. Legacy addresses results in you paying a higher total fee as compared to a bech32 wallet. Try looking for alternatives like Bitcoin Core or Electrum.

To have a transaction confirmed within the next hours, a fee roughly 10x higher is necessary. Since RBF is disabled, you can not simply replace the transaction with a new one. However, if you are in control of either 3KmJRzcoUYNy96jPZjtjsMd1akKtfVAMjW or 18nMCYpPe9W7FWFaCEgt983b5van2Q4rg4, you can spend that new unconfirmed output with a fee high enough to pay for both transactions. This will confirm both of your transactions at the same time. But since the overall value of the transaction is ~5$, it really is not worth it. RBF would have been a cheaper option. I would recommend you to stop using blockchain.com. Use a proper wallet. Not a web wallet. You could have chosen an appropriate fee easily and would have been able to bump the fee.

It's at only 3 sats/byte. You might have to wait for over 24 hours or beyond for the transaction to get confirmed
