The standard version have all the features you need. I would imagine that you cannot speed up your transaction, because you didn't have RBF enabled in your Preferences before sending the transaction? (I can't remember if this is checked by default, or not).

See the menu -> Tools -> Preferences -> Replace-by-fee and then try to make another transaction, right click it... and see the options that show.

Electrum standard version?
What do you mean by the standard version? There are no such things as standard and advanced versions of electrum.

Did you download electrum from its official website? Electrum official website is electrum.org.

You made a transaction and it is stuck and you downloaded Electrum and import the seed phrase of the wallet that you make the transaction from which is now stuck? If that is it, the transaction is not supporting replace-by-fee fee is the reason you are not able to bump the fee.

But if it is that you make the transaction on Electrum, right click on the unconfirmed transaction, you will see bump fee.

And hope you downloaded Electrum from the official site https://electrum.org

I took this as a reference to "standard wallet"[1] (Could you confirm @ContentWriter ?). If he meant something else, then this is bad. He probably downloaded the wallet from somewhere he shouldn't have.

Replaced-by-fee is by default on Electrum. Electrum do not support transactions that does not have opt-in replaced-by-fee any longer. Even before that all transactions must be RBF on Electum, the feature was by default at the time but you can disable it from preference.

Yes. I was given 3 options (I believe) during installation. I chose the second one. [Standard]. Are there fake ones? Still can't find the RBF from Tools. Sorry I can't post too quickly.

When you create a new wallet in electrum, there are four options.

1. Standard wallet
2. Wallet with two-factor authentication
3. Multi-signature wallet
4. Import bitcoin addresses or private keys


Can you confirm that you download electrum from electrum.org?


It doesn't matter how you created your wallet in electrum. If your transaction has been flagged as RBF, you should be able to increase its fee.
Take note that all transactions that are made by electrum itself are automatically flagged as RBF.

To increase the fee, you should right click on your unconfirmed transaction and select "Increase fee".

I believe I did download from Electru.org. I also believe I saw the Multi-signature wallet option. Could have seen 4 options thought they were 3.

I believe I did download from Electru(dot)org. I also believe I saw the Multi-signature wallet option. Could have seen 4 options thought they were 3.

I think you made a typo and you downloaded electrum from electrum.org. There is no website hosted at Electru(dot)org.

Since you bolded the second option, are you saying you have a 2FA wallet?

Anyway, it doesn't matter you have a 2FA wallet or a standard wallet and you should be able to increase the fee of the transactions that are flagged as RBF and have been made by yourself.
Again, if the transaction has been made by electrum, it's RBF-enabled.


Did you right-click on your unconfirmed transaction and check if you see any option for increasing the fee there?

[Abdussamad]

To increase the fee you right click on the transaction on the history tab and choose "increase fee" from the menu that appears.

Forget the wallet type, all of those support Opt-in RBF and your transactions are automatically flagged to be replaceable.

and other advanced features.

If you're looking for the settings, there are small "tool" icon [] in every nook and cranny of Electrum.
Each containing options related to where it's located.
For example, in the upper-right corner of "Send" tab, there's the setting icon containing the 'send-to-many' and other invoice related options;
After you click "Pay...", in the "New Transaction" window, there's a setting icon containing transaction-related options.
You wont find RBF anywhere though but it's enabled by default.

If in doubt and to make sure that you're actually using Electrum, just verify its signature.

Fake or official, it depends on where you download Electrum wallet software for installation. Fake wallets have similar UI like official wallets that help them to scam.

Verify your wallet before using.
