Hello all,

I originally bought around 70 bucks of btc which is now not to my disposal.
I used MultiBit classic to send a few bitcoins with a appropriate fee however the transaction remains stuck for 6 days now and not only that the rest of my balance
has also stopped being spendable. $0 spendable is what i get now. What should I do? i tried accelerating the transaction but nothing. I tried reseting my blockchain
and while it seemed to work once and i had all my balance back and spendable once i closed the MultiBit application and re-opened my balance became unspendable again.

You used a very low fee, 88 satoshis per byte. The recommended fee for a fast transaction is 240 satoshis per byte.
Use this to push your transaction so that it confirms: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
And this to determine what fees to use next time: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Didn't realize my fee was too low as I put the slider beyond the default point.

What am I to do at this point? I tried few moments ago the accelerator service.

why do the bitcoins I never send/spend have gotten "locked out"? How long this is going to take before I can get my btc back?

Same question here: Sent my BTCs from Multibit Classic to Multibit HD, waited a whole week. Now I clicked on Repair wallet, but still "receiving". I let the fee at default when sending. What to do? Can I resend and adjust fee?
