Hello everybody,
i am a new User and have a (small) problem, and would be extremely happy if you could give me some Tipps or Tricks, i read some threads already but couldnt find an answer.
So I use Electrum as my Wallet, and i sent about 0.02 Bitcoins to a Coin Mixer (coinmixer.se). Usually this always works, and takes no longer than 12 hours or so. This time however it says "Low Fee" and an exclamation mark, in the bottom of Electrum it also says (0.02 unconfirmed).
When going to my Coin Mixer Status Site (which refreshes automatically every other second), the confirmations still stand at: 0/3. Above that, it says: Remaining time until the Input Adresses Expires: 4 days.
So now i am worried, that this could take weeks or months, and the Input Adresses of my Coin Mixer will expire, and the money will be lost! My Knowledge on the Topic of Bitcoins is really low at this time, i now know that the problem is a too low fee, but i do not even know how to SET the fee, i never did it, and it always worked, so my questions now are:
1) How in future do i make sure, the fee is enough, WHERE do i "type it in" or "set" it? In Electrum i found an option, "Enable Replace by Fee", i activated this yesterday, but nothing happened? Where do i do it?
2) In THIS case, what do i need to do, to get my money back, respectively, to get the money over to my coin mixer quickly, i read that you can ask someone to mine it, but how do i do this, or can i just delete the transaction and make a new one (with a high enough fee this time)?!
Thank you very much for all your help, Brett
