Transaction got stuck for week so far.

[laniakeaspirit]

My following transaction got stuck for week so far - 4899d3952e3a20d6d3089f77c5cf08e69af67185708f2ec4a63dc9607adaa1c7

Did I do something wrong? This is first time I encountered this problem.

My fee was 0.0003685 BTC, is this reason why this is happening? Can someone help

First time it happened to you? How long have you been using and transacting? As the Bitcoin network has been experiencing congestion lately (at at several periods throughout the year), with tens of thousands of transactions waiting to be picked up by miners, you'll definitely need to adjust your fees manually to ensure it confirms in the time that you need.

To find out what you can do about "stuck transactions" like yours, please read the sticky: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0

Also, the amount you pay as fee is not what determines how miners prioritise, rather the effective fee per size of your transaction, expressed as satoshi per byte of input. You can refer to estimators like https://bitcoinfees.earn.com to estimate how long you would take to confirm a tx based on fee.

Based on your TX, you've paid a fee of 55 sats/byte, so you can expect a 90% chance of confirmation within the next 18 hours, but be aware this changes dynamically.

Meanwhile, you can try to submit it for acceleration at services like https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ or https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx

Thank you so much for info, I've been using blockchain transactions for past 7-10 months. This is first time when I encountered 7 day transaction time.

I did try to accelerate transaction time, but I got following message: Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later. As it seems a lot of people are using this service as well.

If you mean you're using blockchain wallet, then yeah, the dynamic fee adjustment there hasn't been very good and seems to screw up even more during peak network use. Gotta learn to use manual fees as mentioned above from now on

Yeah, viabtc opens only for 100 txs every hour, around the hour. You can imagine hundreds of others are trying to submit as well... so you've got a wait ahead of you. If you're really desperate check out the Services section for threads that offer free acceleration: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

Do try and read the sticky posted above... I recommend moving from Blockchain wallet to something like Electrum that supports options like RBF.
