You used a very low fee, 88 satoshis per byte. The recommended fee for a fast transaction is 240 satoshis per byte.
Use this to push your transaction so that it confirms: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
And this to determine what fees to use next time: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Didn't realize my fee was too low as I put the slider beyond the default point.

What am I to do at this point? I tried few moments ago the accelerator service.

why do the bitcoins I never send/spend have gotten "locked out"? How long this is going to take before I can get my btc back?

Hello all,

I originally bought around 70 bucks of btc which is now not to my disposal.
I used MultiBit classic to send a few bitcoins with a appropriate fee however the transaction remains stuck for 6 days now and not only that the rest of my balance
has also stopped being spendable. $0 spendable is what i get now. What should I do? i tried accelerating the transaction but nothing. I tried reseting my blockchain
and while it seemed to work once and i had all my balance back and spendable once i closed the MultiBit application and re-opened my balance became unspendable again.

no matter what happens you are not going to lose the funds. because there are only two possible scenarios:
1) your transaction is confirmed at some point which means it is complete!
2) it is not confirmed, it stays in the mempool for a while and drops out eventually (~72 hours) and then you can spend it again.

also go to this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0
and see all other similar situations like yours and the solutions are all the same.

p.s. you have 26 satoshi per byte which is too low for your transaction size (https://bitcoinfees.21.co/)

also you can use this tool (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/) to accelerate your transaction for now.

Thanks a lot.

I used viabtc and it says "acceleration succeeded" and now my transaction finally has a confirmation. Many thanks buddy!

 I will be careful in the future to set higher fees.

I send this to another wallet only to receive 0 confirmations after 3 days. I googled for possible solutions to my predicament
but I don't understand the "how to" in what they advice you to do. Using pywallet and input a command etc. I have no idea how to do that.


Am I at risk of losing these funds? will they return to me automatically at some point ? how long?


Imagine if this was a lot of money. This has made me feel concerned using btc for big amounts.

Looking for an easy to comprehend solutions please. I am a pc n00b.
