On the contrary, why did you not use a bigger fee in the first place? The free is pretty small for any miner. But they get confirmed eventually.

I would suggest you not to pay anybody and leave the transaction as it is. If you are using Electrum then you can use the RBF (replace-by-fee) to increase the fee but if not having such feature, just wait it out. I had to wait like one day for a time when I cheaped out on fee, but nothing more.

You are more likely to get ripped of 15$ if you send it to anyone promising you that they can "accelerate" it for you. Very likely they are going to use free services online, and then ask you to wait. ViaBTC had one such service but it has shut down and there is no such thing as paid accelerator service. It is a gimmick.

This guy helped me accelerating one stuck transaction a few days ago. after waiting for almost 24h, it was all over in about 20 minutes.

Accidentally my wallet selected a very small fee by default and i didn't check on time....

It's a little to late to tell you to opt-in rbf... But next time, make sure you opt-in rbf :)

In your case, there are a couple things you can do:
  • I see 2 outputs, one is probably going to your change address... You can do a CPFP
  • You can use a free accelerator... AFAIK, viabtc still works but needs a minimum fee of 10 sat/byte (and you payed 3 sat/byte), but you can still submit it to antpool. Antpool gives those transactions a higher priority, but in case of a very low fee it still won't "solve" your situation
  • You payed 3 sat/byte, the mempool usually clears during the weekend... If you just wait your tx will probably get confirmed... If it doesn't get confirmed over the weekend, you can rebroadcast it next week
  • You can pay a big mining pool like viaBTC to include your transaction in the next block
  • You could try to double-spend the unspent outputs used in this transaction and create a new transaction with them, funding the same address but with a bigger fee... Difficult to get it to propagate trough the network tough

Realistically, your options are:
  • CPFP (quasi guaranteed fix + fast)
  • antpool's accelerator (no guarantees + slow)
  • waiting, eventually rebroadcasting (quasi guaranteed fix, but it might take a while)
  • paying a big pool operator (quasi guaranteed fix + fast)

Like i said in the beginning of my post: make sure your wallet sets the rbf flag in the future, avoid these kinds of problems....

You scamming people charging 100$. I understand you want to take gains for a work but you using different accounts on telegram and not have clear prices trying to scam others.

Shut up you scammer, scamming others by trying to be oversmart.
Lol
OP trust feedback is neutral, while you already got 4 negative trust on your account. So, who is the scammer? ::)



Be careful before trade with member in this forum, especially if they afraid using escrow and use telegram. And the most important look their trust feedback first.
