Hey,

I just sent my first btc yesterday, and forgot to set a fee.
Now I dont know what to do and its a payment about 100$ so I am very sad at the moment.


Maybe you can help me to get my btc back or to speed up the transaction?

Here are a few data:

If you need any more data please tell me.

It would be great if someone could help me.

Thx in advance guys..

You just need to wait,it will get confirmed in 1-2 days.

Most transaction without a fee generally require longer time to confirm, but eventually they will get through.
You may need to wait a couple of days and it will pass.

Yeah there's nothing you can do but wait. Dont worry you havent lost your btc.

Worst case scenario is it'll get returned to you but it'll probably confrim within a couple of days.

A 0.185btc transaction should take 5 days to qualify for a free transaction. So yours should confirm in 4 days' time, less if you are lucky. Don't worry about it, your coins are not lost.

No, Bitcoin transactions are irreversible. You can't do anything, you have to wait.

Nope, if a transaction can't be confirmed then the money is sent back to the original wallet

That is not a small amount you're trying to transfer, just include a 0.0001 or 0.00001 fee, it wouldn't hurt

Don't worry It will get confirmed transactions without fees just require much more time ;)

I don't think you really know about Bitcoin. If it's not forked blockchain or double spend attempt, Bitcoins always go where you send. It is irreversible.

Whatever he's saying is not wrong but not right either, it's half info.
If this transaction is sent from blockchain.info , it will stop relaying that transaction after 4-5 days and funds will get credited to OP's wallet.
But It's not possible if OP used some other wallet software., however OP can delete that transaction via pywallet and rebroadcast it with fees on other client.

You need to be patient and wait now.
If it didn't get confirmed in a few days, you could rebroadcast it, or simply create a new one after the tx is dropped from mempool of the network.

As escrow.ms has explained, all three of you are wrong (or at least making unreliable guesses without enough information to give an accurate answer).

First M0rris needs to tell us what wallet they used to send the transaction.  Then we can give useful advice about what will likely happen and how to proceed.

It's already confirmed. No actions necessary.

Always keep in mind : be patient

Don't worry wait a few days and everything will be fine.

A transaction can be considered pending until it is added to the block chain. Until then, the bitcoins haven't actually been sent. A pending transaction can be reversed by attempting a double spend. If the transaction is never confirmed, then the bitcoins aren't returned because they were never sent in the first place.
