Title: Unconfirmed parent, all infos
Post by: StickBild on October 26, 2016, 09:57:28 PM
Hello,

I have a little issue with an Electrum transaction. I did not know that if there is a unconfirmed transaction, it is possbile to use this unconfirmed money for a transaction. After the unconfirmed transaction appeared, I sent my other money to a fresh Electrum wallet. A part of the fees was paid by the unconfirmed transaction (0.0099328 BTC), I sent 4.8 BTC to my other wallet, now everything is frozen. The first small unconfirmed transaction is not confirming and now I am sitting here after almost 30 hours, looking at my two wallets and the two "Unconfirmed parent" stamps...

First small transaction which wonīt confirm (maybe to small / fees -> itīs only Medium Priority)

And the transaction to my other wallet:

What should I do now? Wait untill the first one arrives? Double-spend (not 100% sure about what I have to do, need good tutorial)?
Canīt do my stuff...


Regards

It has already gone through since a long time. I see the date of this post and it was when we had a lot of unconfirmed transactions so it wasn't just you. I had one transaction myself stuck for 2 days and finally after 2 days it confirmed. It was not a problem of electrum it was a blockchain problem. You can close(lock) the thread now.
