Click tools in your menu bar, then prefrences. A popup window should appear like the one below. Click the fees tab, uncheck "use dynamic fees", and put whatever BTC/KB fee you want to pay in the "max static fee" text field.



When you send coins move the slider all the way to the right if you want to pay the "max static fee" you chose.

If you are prepared to post the transaction's ID here we could help you. It's difficult to work out what's gone wrong without a transaction ID.

Are you using multibit classic or multibit HD?

Whatever you are using I would suggest switching off your internet connection before opening your wallet, then exporting the private key for the address containing Bitcoins from the wallet.

Afterwards you can install electrum and import the private key into it using these instructions.

Multibit classic doesn't pay high enough fees when the network's overloaded, like today. Multibit HD has some serious bugs in it.

Disregard my last post, I successfully submitted your transactions to the viabtc accelerator. The viabtc pool will confirm your transactions in the next block it mines unless another pool beats it to it.

If it's vital to get your transactions confirmed as fast as possible you could hedge your bets by paying quickseller or macbook-air to get f2pool to confirm them.

You could try the free viabtc mining pool's transaction acceleration service at this link, but it only accepts 100 transactions an hour and it's overloaded with requests.

However, viabtc now also provides a paid acceleration service. It costs 0.01BTC to use its paid service, and you have to email support@viabtc.com to use it.

You could try could paying viabtc 0.01BTC to confirm each transaction.

There is a link at the bottom of the free accelerator webpage.


After you click it this text explaining how it works is revealed.



Another option you could try is contacting quickseller and macbook-air and offering them a small fee to confirm your transaction.

I managed to submit your transaction to the viabtc accelerator service. Viabtc will confirm it for you in the next block it mines, It's ten hours since it mined its last block, so hopefully it shouldn't be too long unyil it mines its next one. Blockchain.info shows it usually mines a few a day.

Viabtc now provides a paid accelerator service in addition to its free service. It costs 0.01BTC to use its paid service, and you have to email support@viabtc.com to use it.

Pestalent1 could pay viabtc 0.01BTC to confirm his transaction.

Unfortunately viabtc haven't done much to advertise its paid service yet.

Its put the link below at the bottom of the free accelerator webpage.

Is there any news from bitfinex? The longer it prevents withdrawals the higher the price seems to go. There's no one clear source of information, just multiple reddit acconts linked to bitfinex reps making posts in multiple reddit threads.

Try downloading the electrum wallet, installing it, then importing your private key into it.

https://electrum.org/#download

This page explains how to do it.

http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#can-i-import-private-keys-from-other-bitcoin-clients

Do you still have your backup? What sort of backup did you make?

If you were using multibit classic and you made a backup .key file that isn't password protected then try using these instructions to get the private key from it, then import that private key into electrum.

A user called Michail1 tested the procedure with multiple mycelium accounts and says it worked. You have to restore them individually using a popup asking which account you want to restore.

Can you install mycelium on your phone and import your mutibit seed into that? That might work.


If you use a multibit seed in electrum I don't think it will generate the same addresses as multibit does. You have to get the individual private keys from the addresses you want out of multibit, then use them when creating a new wallet in electrum.

If you can open your multibit wallet before it finishes synchronising you could probably get the private keys you want from directly inside it.

Bitstamp's crashed slightly below the $1800 ATH from three days ago again!

Alternatively you could try paying viabtc to confirm it with their new pay to confirm service. The bottom of their web page now says they also offer a paid accelerator service. You have to email support@viabtc.com to use it.

That's brilliant news. Thanks for posting the results of your tests.

You were sent coins that hadn't been confirmed in an earlier transaction, which itself was sent coins that hadn't been confirmed in an even earlier transaction.

This transaction sent yours unconfirmed coins.

And this is the earliest transaction that started the mess off by sending unconfirmed coins. You need to submit this one to the viabtc accelerator first, then the one above it, and finally your transaction.

Your transaction cannot confirm until the other two do.

I tried accelerating your transaction with the viabtc accelerator, but it says the transaction does not exist, probably because it contains dust. You can email them at support@viabtc.com and pay 0.01BTC to get it confirmed through their manual accelerator service.

Try contacting viabtc and offering to pay them to confirm the transaction. At the bottom of their web page they  say they also offer a paid accelerator service. You have to email support@viabtc.com for it.

The viabtc mining pool confirmed your transaction in  block number 466257. It now has 20 confirmations.
