i’ll wait for now. if it’s still stuck in - let’s say - a few days, i’ll increase the fee on that second transaction.
(i guess i was wondering what the difference is between vbyte and byte there, i mean, if 828sat/vbyte is the "same" as sat/byte, but i guess i’ll have time to google and educate myself in the upcoming nervewrecking days.) :-)

again, thank you so much!

at this screen even electrum tells me "RBF enabled". for both transactions. but no option when right-clicking the first transaction to "do" it.

as long as it DOES work .. sigh. well. what can i do. :/

(i’m kinda hesitating to post the txid here because it’s a rather huge transaction. but would that help in diagnosing things?)

yes, and that (82 sat/vbyte) is also what mempool.space tells me when i view the transaction.

as i’m not familiar with "vbyte" yet, does that mean i can "increase fee" on the second transaction using electrum and set it to .. 828 sat/byte?

actually, electrum doesn’t show any RBF option there. but blockchair as well as mempool.space tell me "RBF enabled" looking at that transaction. not sure why (or what that helps me) though. :-)

it is in fact legacy, and evenworse ... 50 of those (paper wallets/addresses) to be merged into a single transaction. :-| i guess that doesn’t make it easier/faster, huh? :-)

but, anyway, as long as there’s hope (that it will confirm "some time"), i’m fine.

in my understanding importing those keys would have meant i couldn’t have spent them "in fractions", only in total!? that’s why i swept them. but i guess it doesn’t matter anymore now anyway.

electrum doesn’t show any RBF options on that first transaction, yes. i was thinking by deleting/cancelling the second transaction i could "enable" the ability to use RBF on the first one maybe ..

RBF is possible at the second transaction (unconfirmed parent) only, electrum tells me. not at the paper-wallet-sweep (unconfirmed before) unfortunately. i would easily cancel the kraken-transaction (it’s not urgent at all) if i could get access to the coins from my paper wallets (first transaction) though ..

"timeout of 10000ms exceeded", every time i try ..

anyway, thanks so much guys, i’ll just wait a bit more and keep my fingers crossed. will get back to you for some more help if this doesn’t confirm in a few days though. :-)

i’m not, i was just worried because it "never took so long" in the past (and additionally apparently i don’t know what i’m doing). :-)

(so cancelling the second tx by using the "double spend" feature wouldn’t help as well? so that afterwards i could increase the fee on the first one maybe?)

not sure what this means (?) - i just swept all the keys in electrum (worked with other wallet keys just fine yesterday, confirmed and ready to spend after 1-2 hours). but as long as "just wait until it clears up" still stands, i’ll try not to worry too much now ..

thank you!

hey guys, i guess i need help/advice. :/

i swept some paper wallet keys (using 80sat/b fee), transaction (A), and didn’t wait for confirmation. created a new transaction (B) to pay (from half of the paper wallet amount) to kraken.

transaction A is stuck "unconfirmed" now for 6+ hours, "position in memepool 15.3MB from tip". transaction B tells me "unconfirmed parent" (obviously) with 137sat/b. i’m not sure what i can do now to speed this up (or to fix it, at all). there’s no RBF- oder CPFP-option on transaction A to be seen, and im not sure if "increasing the fee" on transaction B (or trying to cancel it with "double spend" option) would clear this up or make it worse.

any suggestions?

electrum 4.1.2, windows, ..

thanks so much in advance!
