I went to a reputable btc transaction accelerator site and paid them $60 to help push the transaction through. It confirmed in less than an hour after I payed him. I am also leaving bitcoin and any new headaches from it behind. I was advised to get the electrum wallet and/or to start learning about litecoin.
This was a journey I hope I never have to endure again, lol. Many thanks for everyone's advise and opinions here.
Virtually yours,

So it is this[1] wallet. I have installed the application but I didn't find any option to make a CPFP. I found an option to raise fees (you get access to it in the three dotted option that appears in the menu of sending bitcoin) but it is just a fee selector. It seems that you are not alone in this struggle per this[2] recent post of a user in Bitcoin StackExchange. Worst case scenario you can always backup your wallet (Safety -> Backup wallet) set a password and then import it into Electrum (for example) and proceed to make a CPFP transaction there by looking at your pending transaction. There is also the option to directly obtain the mnemonic seed[2] of the wallet but I cannot vouch for it's authenticity.
[1] https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet[2] https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/119615/how-can-i-raise-the-fee-of-a-transaction-in-bitcoin-wallet-appI may be misunderstanding what your suggesting I could do here. The Transaction in question here did NOT originate from my phone app. It is (however) my bitcoin that I had sent to another party. I then withdrew those coins from their website using their bitcoin withdraw system. I had the option of choosing one of 5 options for the bitcoin withdraw. Not knowing anything about current amounts needed, I chose the middle option. That option puts me to were I am today. I have severed ties with that agency since they said they cannot assist in increasing the fee rate for this transaction (which I believe to be false). My entire point with this posting was to ask: If there is a way to get this transaction to confirm faster. Even if I had the top notch bitcoin app on my phone, I don't think that would be possible since this transaction did not originate from my phone app. Also, and before others announce here, I will not spend $70 to increase the "chances" that I get this $200 back. I assume I'll just need to wait it out. "Normal" refunds can take 7 - 10 days to be refunded back to credit accounts so this is about right so far lol. I don't know enough about the mechanics of using bitcoin interfaces but I'm learning. All education costs something I suppose. This is just that. On the other hand, If someone tells me they can get this increased to confirm sooner, I'd be open to pay a "helpers" fee. All said and done, I'll sit this one out and simply hope it clears. |

I'm using Bitcoin Wallet App.
This[1] Bitcoin wallet app? Or this[2] bitcoin wallet app? While having similar names, do note that one of them (the first one) doesn't have any association with bitcoin.org (I don't know if you were aware of this). The first option supports CPFP though (not sure about the second one). As you may have noticed fees have gone up quite considerable since yesterday and if you're in a rush, CPFP is your best bet. Have you tried selecting the transaction on your application? I suppose that it should lead you to a new menu where it would present you the possibility of bumping the fees (assuming you are using the [1] wallet). Complementing Z-tight reply, you are able to use this method independently of having control of the sender address or not. What you are actually doing with this process is chaining together the outputs of the "stuck" transaction with a new transaction with a higher fee thus incentivizing the miners in processing both transactions, solving your issue.

There are no tools for adjusting anything with it. lol https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet&hl=en_US&gl=US |

I can only do this if I originated the transaction, correct? (I did not originate the transaction)
This is called CPFP and you can only do it if you are in control of the receiving address and if the wallet software that you use allows you to spend unconfirmed utxo's. You already said you control the receiving address, so what wallet software are you using? mempool has a button to accelerate the transaction but it appears the wait list to use it will prob be longer than it might take for this to clear on it's own, lol.
Mempool.space tx accelerator has not fully launched and if you create an account now you'll just join the waitlist. But if you want to use a tx accelerator to speed up your transaction, you can try both ViaBTC's free and paid acceleration service: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/I'm using Bitcoin Wallet App. |

It's not the best and kinda useless for tools. lol. mempool has a button to accelerate the transaction but it appears the wait list to use it will prob be longer than it might take for this to clear on it's own, lol. I'm wondering if there's a way to use bitcoin from my wallet to speed this transaction up? .
I did not use the Bitcoin Wallet, but does the balance appear in the “Bitcoin Wallet” app? If so, create a new transaction using any address from your wallet and pay fees higher than High Priority at https://mempool.space. Then your previous and new transactions will be confirmed within 30 min. If the balance does not appear, you will need to pay a mining pool to confirm it. You can try https://www.f2pool.com/user/tx-acc. If you do nothing, it may be confirmed within 9 days. "does the balance appear in the “Bitcoin Wallet” app? If so, create a new transaction using any address from your wallet and pay fees higher than High Priority at https://mempool.space". I can only do this if I originated the transaction, correct?

Okay, The transaction is hovering at around an hour to confirmation but it's been that way for over 6 hours now. I've been studying up in ways to "boost" the speed. As a noobe I have "Bitcoin Wallet" app, I know... It's not the best and kinda useless for tools. lol. mempool has a button to accelerate the transaction but it appears the wait list to use it will prob be longer than it might take for this to clear on it's own, lol. I'm wondering if there's a way to use bitcoin from my wallet to speed this transaction up? Keep in mind, I submitted a withdraw from the site I sent this bitcoin to originally. I have broken ties with that site since. any further advise would be appreciated, Thanks.

I want to thank everyone for your responses and taking the time to assist me. The transaction still looks like it's creeping its way to completion so I'll wait and see. Thank you all again. P.s. I'll post if it clears  |

I made a deposit of bitcoin into a site. I changed my mind and withdrew the bitcoin from that site. Here is the transaction ID: 5b9c8f7782f2a1e9089c954d9b8d1504ccae041e11c38856debe20f581c07cfd. Now within this transaction are 2 address' ; bc1qg9luqm2vlxmun90ta7mtudnn745zfq2na3lnpz , and; bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7. The second address "bc1q5ztklyqsqt3f06kh8jkunnzcps66pzqht5tnp7" is for my wallet. The first address does not appear to be doing anything. Is this transaction legitimate? Why is it taking so long to confirm? I'm very new to using bitcoin and could use some assist if anyone's out there. |
