unconfirmed transaction on blockchain.info

[funnyjohn20]

I sent a transaction without any fee from my blockchain wallet
it's been more then 4 days, transaction is neither confirming nor its expiring
what can i do now ?
and how much time it takes to expire this transaction or can i push it anyway?

I am surprised that Blockchain.info still lets anyone do this in the first place, because nowadays zero-fee transactions are mostly likely to be ignored/rejected by all miners. Furthermore, I don't think that the Blockchain.info wallet lets you increase the fees of an already broadcast tx.

However, there are "external" options to expedite or salvage zero-fee transactions, for example this one from BTC.com mining pool

PS: your post is likely to be moved to service discussion by a moderator, so I'd suggest you to do it yourself

EDIT: oops, I just realised that payment at the accelerator link that I provided seems only available to Chinese bank card holders... there might be other such services available though.

i sent 2 transaction of different amount to the same bitcoin address with same fee one got confirmed and other one is showing 0 fee
i don't know what happened but I didn't send this transaction with 0 fee
i have also created a ticket to blockchain.info support but their reply was not satisfying
can you please tell how much time it takes to expire this transaction?

Unfortunately I can't, only they can. That's a downside of using an external service such as Blockchain.info instead of a real wallet (which should be open source and provide you with your private keys if desired). If you have any trouble with them, you are at the mercy of their good will, just like you would be when using PayPal or a CC

Typically, Bitcoin Core would have allowed you to abandon such transactions and/or bump its fees. The typical network-level expiry time is 3 days. But it doesn't mean that BC.info wallet will follow this, it might be re-broadcasting the transaction for a long time. If the ticket response was unsatisfactory, I suggest getting back to them anyway, they should be able to provide you with at least an expiry time for your transaction.

Good luck!

You need to be careful with blockchain.info. I've made a mistake where I've used their recommended fee and the tx got stuck for 12h before I used viabtc. I can't help you right now, maybe find someone to push the transaction. Next time, it's best that you optimize the fee, be careful with fees when using that wallet.

Your transaction will very likely never get confirmed, since it has a fee of 0 BTC.

Wait a few more days until the transaction gets dropped by the mempool and you will be able to send your coins again. Just use a fee next time -
preferably a fee of at least ~130 satoshis/byte or ~200 satoshis/byte for a faster confirmation.

Yep you can keep waiting but this transaction will never be confirmed. You will get back to your wallet, but after 4 days I think it is supposed to be already done? I don't remember after how many days the transaction get returned to the sender :/

It'll be ignored by miners. With the legacy wallet, you could export private keys. I think you can still do so if you have legacy wallet addresses in your current wallet. Export the private keys in question and import them into another wallet.

Otherwise, I believe blockchain.info now uses a master seed (BIP32?). I haven't used their wallet in months, but I recall setting one up and receiving a deterministic seed (12 words long). I think such seeds can be imported into another wallet such as Electrum (which will give you access to that wallet), but I haven't tested it from blockchain.info myself.

Upon looking at your TXID.

Everything is fine now, you've got 6 confirmations you will receive your bitcoins good for now.

Next time, try to settle a good miners fee.

I didn't expect for miner to consider such transfer since there 0 fee have been set and I thought it would really be stucked and not to be transferred and surprisingly it hasn't been neglected by miners which is still a luck for this transaction not to be stuck in the chain. This would really be a lesson learned for op, don't really forget to set fees when you do make transactions to avoid future problems.

I even thought that the bitcoin from that transactions will be returned.

Well thanks to those miners maybe they also included this transaction upon seeing that it is now taking sometime.

Just learn the lesson from this incident.

Might be someone have submitted your tx in transaction accelerator because normally transaction with 0 fee couldn't get confirmed.
You seem lucky this time but never ever send bitcoin without any fee in future. Also you can now lock this thread because your problem is now solved.

It should be returned to the original address if it will never be confirmed.

But well everything goes well and congratulations to you, again next time put some fees.

And please close the thread.
