Title: Unconfirmed transaction. 28+ Hours.
Post by: immadothistillidie on April 20, 2017, 02:49:15 PM
Yesterday around noon I made this transaction 77466e3ff95dff14b752edbc42fd50e4ad5224eb5e83b3fa82fe0c3246b4b3ab.
Now I'm aware that the fee is VERY low, what can I do to make it move? I have already used that bitcoin accelerator tool, I have no idea on what to do.
Is it ever going to be picked up by some random miner?
Or will it be dropped, and I am going to get my coins back?
If yes, how long is it going to take...

Quite frustrated atm, thanks.

Looks like it finally got confirmed... + 1,854 minutes later... that is nearly 31 hours...  :o and it was in a block mined by ViaBTC so I assume the TX Accelerator helped ;)

Next time, don't use such a low fee, or enable the "Replace By Fee" (RBF) option in Electrum... or investigate "Child Pays For Parent" (CPFP)... that will give you a couple of extra options to help push stuck transactions along. :)

Glad to see your transaction already confirmed. Be sure to double check that you are running the latest version of Electrum which includes bug fixes for fees and enables Dynamic fees by default. Dynamic Fees are great to avoid sending too low of fees on accident and I'd recommend using them as they have been very accurate for me.
