dead transaction in electrum

[ratinois]

hi,
I have a replaceable transaction since more than 2 weeks which seems to be dead.
I would like to remove it since I can't double spend with message "insufficient funds" because of this transaction.
transaction id : c3c4a4510795bc28850a183fb11c4bdb9f24d904a87f40cea5b8d834949de265
Thanks.

Your transaction has already been double spent, but neither it or its double spend transaction have been confirmed.

Blockcypher.'s explorer still shows your transaction that pays a low 10.106 sat/B fee.

Blickchain.info's explorer shows the double spend transaction that pays a lower 5.07 sat/B fee.

Both transactions are OPT-IN RBF, so you can choose to right click either of them and create a new transaction with higher fees.

Thanks for your fast answer.
You know everything o_o I only have the first one left in my wallet.
If I understand your answer well my only option is to right click it and "add more fees".
Is there a way to delete/cancel this transaction ? if not I will add more fees.
Maybe If I wait more it will be auto deleted but I don't think so.

Both transactions pay very low fees so if you do nothing the network should eventually forget about them . Afterwards your coins should return to your wallet and become spendable again. However it could take a long time for the network to forget your transactions. The default used to be three days, but recently the network has taken weeks to forget some transactions.

The two transactions both send coins to the same address, but different amounts of coins. However, they send left over change to different addresses. These are the relevant addresses and transactions.

If you want the transaction left in your wallet to confirm there are some options in addition to right clicking it and "adding more fees" in this quote.

These guys offer a free service.

There are other paid options in this quote.

Do you have paid accelerator service?

There's also a user who claiming he can get transactions confirmed who started this thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1934749

There's a thread discussing his reliability here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1945850.0

I can't say how reliable he is. You'll have to read his thread and trust rating, then make up your own mind.

The impressive answers o_o

I knew about paying services which accelerate transactions but I prefer not use them for now since I only have ~20$ of btc (maybe there are free services too but I'll see later). I Would like to have more but the famous online service doesn't confirm my account after 2 weeks ;_;

I sent more in the second transaction because I got some satoshis between both.

Anyway, in a first time I guess I will wait one more month and maybe the network will forget it. If it doesn't forget I will add more fees to confirm the transaction.

Thanks , at least now I'm sure of my options.

If you try adding more fees and get an error it's probably because the server your wallet's connected to doesn't accept RBF transactions. You can fix the problem by using the instructions in this quote.

... only some servers that electrum connects to will accept such new transactions.

If it doesn't work at first then click the green circle at the bottom right of electrum, and a new window should open. Inside it uncheck "select server automatically", then select a new server from the list and click the OK button. Try broadcasting the RBF transaction again, and repeating the process until you find a server that will accept your RBF transaction.

Try searching for it in blockcypher.'s explorer. It often shows double spend or forgotten transactions that blockchain.info won't show.
