If you want to no longer spend from that address, click onto the "Reset" link on bottom-right, on the line with coin control active.
If you do want to spend from that address, you are good: go to the Send tab and spend the money; you'll spend only from that selected address.


Edit: you may find more detailed explanation in this related thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275116.0

You've seen the numbers. They mean that "your" 36 sat/vbyte tx pays for those 5.9 - 10 sat/vbyte transactions too.
It's difficult to calculate all those ramifications, but I would not expect to see the transaction confirmed until the fees drop to 10 sat/vbyte or even less.

You are scared and it's normal. This should be a lesson for you: if the money is transferred, it means nothing, it has to also be confirmed. Only then you can say that you have received the money.
Now the situation is indeed stressful, since if the seller is a scammer and somewhere on that path he has a RBF transaction, he may replace that, break the chain and leave you unpaid. Or if the fees rise for too long the transactions will get dropped and again leave you unpaid.
On the other hand, if all goes well and Bitcoin's price won't have too big fluctuations today, the mempool could clear up and confirm your transaction.

The problem is not there. I've seen in the last 12h at least one block with 30-ish fees.

The problem is that the transaction has 2 unconfirmed parents (45187fd8c235887fcf7afe93985c727d8dd2238be2a83817d681216d4fda37f8 = 10 sat/vbyte, dbea9c449d4ec4b3719cece14ea515430ea14f7f68ac757b07de98aa7965068f = 5.9 sat/vbyte) and both of them has at least one unconfirmed parents (659abc5c3cf1fa765720d68518767a0815df4859ff1369a89a9b13d65b36c0e0 = 10 sat/vbyte, +3 more) ... I went to a good number of levels back and I keep finding unconfirmed parents.
So it's going to take a good while until these will get confirmed, if ever.

In the last 12h there was at least one block including transactions at 30 sat/vbyte.
But the parent transaction is paying only 7 sat/vbyte, hence you'll need the fees get much lower than 30 sat/vbyte to have them both confirmed.

Now... the parent transaction is old (9 Feb) and because of the age and the rather low fee certain nodes will soon start to drop it ("forget it").
This can be a good news or a bad news. If that (parent) transaction will get forgotten, the money will return to sender wallet. If that's yours, it can be good (although I don't know how good is blockchain.com handling those cases) because both transactions' will get back to you giving you a better chance to send those coins. If that parent tx is not yours, or you simply want to wait until it gets confirmed, please let us know to try to re-broadcast it and try to get you more time.

I've done that myself. Long ago and only for a couple of months.
I was overly lucky and overall didn't lose money. But at the moment I understood how lucky I was I gave it up.
I had no experience, no knowledge in TA, just I was trading a coin that happened to be mostly on a rise back then. After a few failures I stopped while I was still on a small profit.

Yes, many do trading without enough knowledge, they treat trading as gambling. Is not advised because it can easily go wrong.

Yes, it is. It means that you want to spend money you didn't receive. Even more, if the transaction that sends you that money has even lower fee than yours, both will be confirmed only if the fee drops (much) more.
And it can even happen that the money you want to spend will never reach you (since it's not confirmed, this can happen in multiple ways).

If you want more exact details, I'm afraid you will have to post your transaction's tx ID, which means that we will know your address. This may or may not be a problem, depending on the person.

If you don't know what to do, my advice is to don't do anything. And I mean it. The idea is that it's you who has to do the reading and don't rely on random people over the internet.
Also if you want to invest, keep in mind that you should use money you afford to lose or to keep locked for years.

This being said, the answer should be Bitcoin.
The reason is the Dogecoin, hyped or not, is a cryptocurrency with infinite supply. ~14M Dogecoins are mined every day, and this number won't change.
Since Bitcoin is fixed supply, with the rise of the demand there's better chance for the price to keep growing, as average, over time.

1. At exact hour you can try yourself with ViaBTC free accelerator (one of the very few that works)
Use atomic clock (eg. https://time.is) and keep in mind that you have very few seconds time gap to succeed.

2. Wait. There was reached 34 sat/vByte ~1h ago, it should easily go under 30 sat/vbyte in the next 48h (with some luck)

While Electrum is very good, Ledger Live is not. I recommend the use of Ledger Live only for firmware and software updates. I've seen too many people surprised by it; sometimes it was only not sync-ed, sometimes it was worse. Safer to avoid from start when there is such a good alternative.


Maybe I am not as forgiving as you are. The hack was bad and the steps done afterwards were disappointing.
Just days ago somebody complained about another problem with their shop - his details have ended up at another customer.
I don't think that others can make this many mistakes in a row.


You can buy from an official reseller. Or even better, read the steps you should do to buy safely and see if you can follow them.
Also, it's not only Ledger and SafePal, there are 2, maybe 3 alternatives from what I know.
The point is to secure your funds from anything - from hackers to the 5$ wrench. And that requires a bit of attention.

I own Ledger Nano and I would not use or recommend the desktop wallet.
Still, the hardware is pretty good, especially compared to Safepal, which is breaking GPL rules and have serious vulnerabilities.
But since Ledger's shop has leaked a lot of customers' details, I would be also scared to buy anything from that shop, especially as in the last months they went from bad to worse in containing the damage.

Some see 0 balance, some may see incorrect values.
Allegedly they are working on a fix and the funds are SAFU.

Indeed. Spot was 0, card wallet still has the money on it.
Checked twitter, they are working on fixing the problem.
I guess that it's related to the fact that some cannot even access their account.


Update: it looks like my coins are back

It doesn't matter where you transfer. As long as it's a transaction, it has to be confirmed and the miners' fee has to be paid.
So yes, if you can wait, please do. And keep an eye onto websites like https://mempool.space/ to see the current fees. Last week-end the fees have fallen under 10 sat/vbyte, which is much better than the current ~120.

About hardware failures, since you have Electrum (I assume that you imported one or more private keys) and want to transfer, you can generate a new wallet and this one will have a 24-words seed you can write onto paper and you're good (as long as the paper is not lost). And you'll send the coins to an address of this new wallet, obviously.
Just you have to do all this carefully and safely, since nowadays everybody tries to steal BTC.

It may worth mentioning that the fee you pay is related to the size of the transaction and not the amount you are sending.
That's why people are asking about how many inputs you have (how many times did your address receive coins to gather the current amount), since they increase the size of the transaction and the fee.

You'll have to also pay attention if you talk about BTC, mBTC or sat/vByte.

And as advice, beware of 3rd party services, whether it's Coinbase or others.
1. They do also pay the transaction fees and also add their own margin on top.
2. They will pay bigger fee to make sure the funds are sent quick, and, after learning this and that, will be able to send your funds cheaper, especially if you are not in a hurry to get them sent.
So Coinbase may make sense only if you trade/want to sell those coins. (Of course, it's your money and your decision.)
3. As others said: not your keys, not your coins, hence they can do whatever they want.

Well, I voted "after 22" (I was expecting 23).
It's not possible to have everybody get it right every time 

It's an unexpected nice surprise. (I mean not for today already.) And the week-end is young.

For those who don't like to click links, I think that this briefing is important and tells it all.
Taxing the Bitcoin related income is a normal direction, but it can be done in many ways, good and bad.
Still, as said, it can change a lot, so ... let's wait and see what happens next.

In primul rand, e gresit. Nu doar agentiile americane au implantate asemenea backdoors. Nu uitati, ca vorba aia "Components, American Components, Russian Components, All Made In Taiwan". Well, de fapt in China. De ce credeti ca se incearca ingroparea Huawei? E o lupta pentru suprematie.

Toti infiereaza Windoze si ma distreaza ca unii cred Linuxurile invincibile, cand hardware-ul este acelasi... (nu zic ca Windows ar fi nu stiu cat de bun sau sigur, doamne-feri)

All in all, daca vrei ca un dispozitiv sa fie sigur, il tii offline. Nu exista alta varianta. Punct.

Da, un pic de preventie ici-colo e buna. Prea multa sare in ochi la agentii, prea putina lasa si alti curiosi si se ingroasa gluma. Niciodata nu au fost bune extremele, nu?

If any of the locations where you keep the randomized seed can be tracked back to you and the potential thief understands that it's a seed, he may come after you and the 5$ wrench can help him de-randomize it fast.
I think that I would rather save the seed in a different way than a list of 12/24 words.
An example for your case could be a notes page where you can even have the seed in a correct order, but written like:

answer = raspuns
real = advarat¹
swallow = randunica
..

[1] -> But then you have to find a seed that doesn't contain words too similar with Romanian equivalent, in order to avoid writing:
real = real

Well said.


I'm sorry, that was by far unconvincing for me.
There are far too many people on social media showing off "their wealth" of cars and planes that are actually rented by hour or mansions they are visiting or they work there.
Somebody wealthy (and sane) usually doesn't show this on social media.

There are exceptions too, but I don't consider them sane. And since you wanted an example, here you are: Risto/rpietila got rich from crypto (I think it was Monero)
