The best way to learn is to experiment.

As I told, I did the "Remove" tx through Electrum but it didn't really do anything.
The transaction was still there, unconfirmed.

I tried to make a new sweep, as sugested and the new transaction (with higher fees) simply replaced the pervious one.
Okay, it's more expensive, but at least I can get the rest of my sats !

I would still be interested in what you would have done in this situation.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Best regards

Hi everyone,

I bought some BTC (50$) on a cold card for Xmas and I tried to sweep the private key in Electrum (4.4.6) some days ago.
The fees are way too low (28 sats/vbyte) for the actual network and I wonder if there is a way to cancel this transaction.

I have my wallet open on Electrum and I can see the specific transaction with the status "Only available on your computer, ..." and the software allows me to "Remove" it with a right-clic on it.

I did it.
It disappeared from my wallet but the transaction is still on the mempool, naturally unconfirmed.
Is the "Remove" feature really efficient ? Or is my transaction really stuck ?

Just wondering : can I try to sweep again this private key with higher fees ? Will it replace the old tx ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

That's exacty that. My bad.
The import works perfectly.

Thank to both of you for your help.

Hi everyone,

I imported a bitcoin private key in Electrum and the balance is still 0 sats.
I did the procedure many times, following the official documentation (link below) and the balance is still 0.

https://bitcoinelectrum.com/importing-your-private-keys-into-electrum/

I imported the public adress to create a "watch only" wallet, still in Electrum, and my balance is actually displayed.

The public adress does contain some sats, for sure. I even confirmed this by importing my private key (the same one) in Bitcoin Core and it works perfectly.

I'm using the portable version of Electrum, v 4.4.6 (latest).

What am I missing ?

Thank you in advance for your help
