Im am currently transferring my funds from my old blockchain wallet to my new coinbase wallet and I paid the fees for this transaction.It says it will be confirmed very soon(high priority) but its been 12 hours and still no confirmation,it hasn't even listed as unconfirmed in my coinbase wallet.Is something wrong?As I need this money ASAP to buy some GFX from an artist

I think it is because of this previous transaction which you sent with '0' fee https://blockchain.info/tx/504658563f231e71f79312e96da2cc13e779875ac262269b1b8f9f04e527dfc9 and because the next ones contain the unspent output from this transaction, until the '0' fee one goes through I think it wil stay stucked.

Nope. Due to blockchain Stress test or Spam attack recently the miners are avoiding low fee/0 fee transaction, so you will have to wait either it will get through or it will get dropped in few days and then the btc will be back in your wallet. You can't lose the money. It is always advised to add atleast 10k satoshi fee to every transaction.

Then you wont lose any coins you have, if the transaction got throught then your coins will be on your 2nd address but if the transaction got dropped then your coins will be on your first address

Don't worry mate they are not lost.

It's just that the first transaction has no fees and will take some time.

Good Luck

So it is actually still possible that I send a transaction and it will not happen because it will be dropped eventually (if low fees and/or spam attack)?

I actually had this problem myself and ended up downloading and installing electrum then importing the private key from the wallet that had a stuck transaction.

Cant for the life of me remember what I did after that but I know It was all done via electrum.

Hope that helps.

Both the transactions are now showing 'Not Found' on blockchain block explorer so I guess it's safe to assume that they were indeed dropped and you must have gotten your coins back in your wallet and that you added the right fee for the new transactions.

You can close this thread from the bottom right of the page. Thx
