Bitcoin Forum

So I'm not very new to bitcoin but I've never had a problem with transactions getting stuck before..sent a relatively small amount of coin (about .114) with a fee of .0002712 (120.533 sat/B) at around 2pm EST yesterday and it still has 0 confirmations. I sent it off my blockchain wallet app and don't see any option to do a replace by fee or child pays for parent. When I try to broadcast the transaction it says "error parsing transaction".

I've tried everything I could find to speed it up and am still stuck. Someone please help! I might need somebody to walk me through what to do.

Theres nothing much that you could do. You may try to double spend the transaction with a higher fee (it depends if you wallet allow you to do this) and hope that it will confirm. Network is overcrowded last weeks which result in fees being higher and higher. You can try to use some Accelerator from miners for your transaction.

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ - this is free one but it might be full as many people want their transaction to confirm so you might end up trying few times a day.

So I just have to wait until it confirms or is forgotten and sent back to my wallet?

I dont see an option on my wallet app that would allow me to re-spend, it is the blockchain app. Does anyone know how to do a CPFP or RBF on blockchain?

I think it's just desktops that can do the RBF/CPFP double spends.
And it should be returned to you once it stops being broadcast by the network (in a few days).

It depends too if there are less transactions going through in the next coming days it could always go through. I would suggest that you accelerate with viabtc's accelerator (just google it). If it says there are too many transactions then you need to wait until the next time the clock is exactly on the hour as that's when it refreshes.

This' come to be a common issue with bitcoin users. Make sure that you're using latest wallet software and that you've set fee settings properly. The demand on the network is coming to put more and more stress on users but your transactions should be going through if you set fees up for it.

You wait. Or you use the accelerator. Or you find someone (maybe post something at services board) who can
boost/rebroadcast the transaction for you.

Saw a tx with the very same fee/byte as yours.

the blockchain.info wallet is rubbish... it supposedly uses a dynamic fee system, but it is so far out of touch with reality that it would appear that the devs at blockchain.info are either incompetent or just don't care enough to fix it.  As such, your fee was way too low. The current recommended fees are much higher (and have been for a number of days now):


I suggest you do the following:

1. Hit up the ViaBTC TX Accelerator (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) - submit your transaction within the first minute of a new hour or the 100 slots will be gone
2. STOP using blockchain.info wallet. It is rubbish. Go here: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet pick an app from the Mobile/Desktop section.

If you insist on using blockchain.info... then make sure that you click "Advanced Send" when you are sending out a transaction. Here you can see/set the fee to be used. It still probably won't work very well, as you have no idea what the data size of your transaction is going to be, so calculating a decent fee will still be very difficult... and the "recommended" fee that Blockchain.info calculates is pretty much guaranteed to result in around 120 sats/byte...

Hence the 235683245 threads on here from people with stuck transactions with fee of 120 sats/byte...  ::)

I'd suggest avoiding that website... it looks like a scam where they are just charging you $5 and then probably just submitting your transaction to ViaBTC accelerator (or worse, doing nothing)... they even copy/pasted the "FAQ" from ViaBTC and left in the bit that it is free!?!!  ::)

DO NOT, I repeat... DO NOT give any money to this website...

Im using core wallet version 13.2, does it not communicate with the network properly and set the recommended fee right ?

this is scam website

So we should trust a newbie account with 6 posts... which are ALL pretty much just "spam" about an "accelerator"... setup by an "independent miner"... that is apparently "Cooperating with main Bitcoin pools"... ummm what?? that charges $5... (although just dropped to $1 after getting called out as an obvious scam) and that has ripped info directly from ViaBTC (a well known mining pool)... riiiiiiiiight...

Good work on updating your website to remove the direct copy/paste of the ViaBTC website... shame I already have the screenshot... #tooSlow #obviousScamIsObvious

Can you prove this in any way at all? Perhaps a video showing you submit a low fee transaction that gets magically accelerated...
