I believe you're referring to this transaction (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/7943344c764ee175f290274761e52954614287ea17284bce0c1601a1923fa874) you posted some days back;
Hello, can you handle my deal please?

The feerate you set is very low considering the state of the network and Replace By Fee is not enabled. There's also no change address, so you can't perform CPFP, except you own the private keys of the receiving address.
You could contact (pay) a miner to confirm your transaction or wait for it to get dropped so you send it again using much higher fees to get it confirmed quickly.

How do you know when a deal will fall?

A very low fee and it's already 2 weeks since you've made the transaction, it's the estimated timeframe for a btc transaction to drop.

You have to wait until it finally drops. If the time comes and it drops. Check how much recommended sats/b you should pay for quicker transfers.

Do you have a way to contact the receiver?
Because the only way to accelerate this is for him to perform CPFP to the output;

How do you know when a deal will fall?
If you can not contact the receiver and you want the nodes to drop it after approximately two week since last broadcast, just do not "re-broadcast" it using push or (fake) accelerator services so it won't linger longer than 14days in the network.
Also, some nodes must have already dropped your transaction due to limited mempool size but reacquired it from the nodes that kept it, that might've extended the days before it get fully dropped.

Lastly, depending on the wallet, creating a new transaction after it was dropped can be easy or hard (like requiring some commands, etc.)

Could it be because I did free trade advisors so it's delaying me?

It's a few hundred dollars stuck in the mempool so you need to pay a miner to include it in their block. Some miners who offer this service are:

- ViaBTC: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator?lang=en_US (use the paid service, not the free one which has lower priority)
- Poolin: https://pushtx.com/ (PushTX is the name of their paid service and only takes up to a few hours for them to include it in a block).

Could it be because I did free trade advisors so it's delaying me?

Please clarify what you mean with this phrase.

I just put the tx on the website and it looks like OP needs to pay at least $100 so they can accelerate it. As of now, that means nearly half of his tx value. I don't think it is worth it, since there's no guarantee it will be confirmed soon anyway. Especially because the service is not refundable.

Your fee is just too low, it has nothing to do with your trading activity or anything like that.

No, it's as explained by the first two replies.

It's best if you can at least try what's been suggested;
there's also a chance that it will get a confirmation during this weekend since there seems be a downtrend in the average mempool size, but please don't expect it.

Lastly, if you find it hard to understand the replies, you can post in your local language instead,
here in the local boards: Local Boards (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php#5), if your language isn't in the list, select "Other languages/locations".

No, it is nothing to do with anything like that. It is purely because of the fee rate that your transaction used. It is not a "First in, First Out" transaction queue. Miners want to maximise their money, so they tend to take the transactions with the highest fee rate first. If people put higher rates than you, they will get priority. There are a LOT of people who have put rates much higher than you.

What wallet did you use to send the transaction? It is possible that your wallet keeps rebroadcasting the transaction which is why it has not been "dropped" yet.

Pretty much zero chance of that happening really... there are something like 200+ blocks worth of transactions in the mempool at the moment, and some 72+ blocks worth "above" the OPs transaction... at the average of 144 blocks/day, we're at least 0.5 days away from the OPs transaction being anywhere near the tip if no further blocks were added! :-\

According to mempool.space, we currently seem to be averaging over 1500 vbytes of transaction data being added per second[/t]...
