Question about BTC transaction

[famous_]

I have a question about one of my pending transactions, 5613f7de027a76011cb6ab88488ade90dd1a330f2c451846c4680c27fcb1a6e5.

When I look it up on blockchain.info, it's showing a transaction with a .0002 fee. But it has been unconfirmed for days and it's not showing in my wallet, also when I look it up on other block explorers the transaction doesn't return anything.

Why is this? What can I do to make my transaction go through?

Thanks in advance for any and all responses

That transaction has a dust output. A dust output is an output that is less than or equal to 0.00002730BTC. Transactions containing dust outputs are considered nonstandard and are not relayed by most nodes. Most miners will also reject those transactions.

Since it has been a few days since this transaction was broadcast, many nodes have likely forgotten about it so you can try sending the Bitcoin again. But this time make sure that there are no dust outputs. Do this by either lumping the extra dust into the fee or into the other output.

Thank you!

Do you know how long it will take for that node to drop the tx since it's invalid?

You don't need to wait for blockchain.info to drop it. It looks like most other nodes have probably dropped it already.

Well, for this tx I used a third party to handle my coins so I don't have direct control and can't rebroadcast :S I'm trying to get in contact with them but just out of curiosity, how long does it take for a node to drop a tx by itself?

Sure you can rebroadcast it. Just get the raw TX e.g. from -> https://blockchain.info/tx/5613f7de027a76011cb6ab88488ade90dd1a330f2c451846c4680c27fcb1a6e5?format=hex

and push it via your own node or a service that is offering this -> https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting

We cant tell you how long exactly it will take every node to forget about your TX, but its a matter of days rather than hours. If you want I can rebroadcast your TX every ~1 hour.
