Accelerate Unconfirmed Transactions

[kbit4000]

Hi

I mistakenly submitted a transaction with zero fees and it has been unconfirmed now for more than 4 days.

I tried pushtx.btc.com but it only works with AliPay which in turn is not accepting my card.

Are there any other PAID services to accelerate my transaction?

I already tried ViaBTC and it wont work since I have 0 fees in the transaction

I think you have only to wait and maybe the amount will go back to your wallet, but the transaction will never be confirmed as no fee

I thought there were paid services that I can use to accelerate and confirm transaction. No?

ViaBTC has a secondary paid service which is mentioned in the FAQ of their ordinary accelerator.  It's for unusual transactions that they will not accelerate for free.

It costs 0.01 BTC per kilobyte and you can contact them at their support email, support@viabtc.com.
Seriously, what kind of Bitcoin transaction accelerator would only accept fiat?

There are wallets that will allow you to create transactions eligible for acceleration on your own by bumping the fee. Greenaddress allows such a thing, as well as other more complicated wallets.

This is the time you have to be patient for a while till the amount go back to your wallet.

That happened to me once...

Dont mind waiting but I had significant money in that transaction and made a dumb mistake. That's why I am willing to pay extra to get it confirmed. The receiving wallet is also mine.

How did it take for your transaction to be forgotten from the pool ?

There is app made for Android by Samourai wallet that you might want to check (I have never tried it myself): https://afterburnerapp.com/ I believe they are only taking 5.99$ + miner fee for their efforts. You will need to enter your HD wallet recovery words in order to make this work for some reasons. Trust shouldn't be an issue as the project is open source.

since you are sending from yourself to yourself there are a lot of options you can choose as long as you own the private keys!

the first thing is to double spend the transaction this time with higher fee. it may be hard because double spent transactions are mostly rejected and also you need to go through console usually to make these.

the other thing is CPFP (which i recommend).
assume you sent bitcoin from first address to second address and that is pending.
use a third address from your wallet and send the funds from your second address to your third (new address) and pay extra fee as much as it covers 2 transactions (the one that is unconfirmed + the new one) and broadcast it.

I have written to ViaBTC to see if they can help with a fee.

I dont mind paying I just forgot to add a fee when I submitted the transaction

If they cant help, I'll try the other options.


Is there such a thing to cancel transaction ?

It should eventually be either rejected by the network or the wallet will ignore the previous transactions(as it was never confirmed) and "refund" the money back to you. If it hasn't already, that's kind of surprising but it should be resolved fairly soon. I don't think that it takes longer than a week for the network to reject a transaction in most cases.

If you have a wallet.dat file with the state of the wallet before the transaction you should be able to re-send it.
