Well, it didn't go through and it had been 12 weeks (3 months) and the transaction is still stuck somewhere. It was never returned to me and it was never committed.
Is this the same transaction that you've mentioned in your topic in
July?
I recently submitted a single small transaction (less than USD100 worth of bitcoins at today's price) with lower transaction fee at that time (1 satoshi per vB or about USD10 at today's price).
A $10 equivalent of 1sat/vB fee rate should mean that the transaction's size is about 1500vB.
Your "
point-and-click" earnings must have seen sent in separate multiple small transactions for the transaction that spent those outputs to reach that size.
-snip- - to hope some developers will pick up the transaction and remove it from the blockchain and return the BTC; or to go ahead and push it through.
Developers do not have any control on which transactions to include to the Bitcoin blockchain or which should be removed from a node's (
your node) mempool.
Miners decide which transactions to include to the block that they are mining,
for your transaction to push through, it needs a competitive fee rate which isn't 1sat/vB at the moment.
Refer to my reply to your old thread on how to bump it, current recommendation is 2.5sat/vB which will add about 2200satoshis more to your current fee.
Take note that the "
high fee" you're experiencing isn't normally experienced by most Bitcoin users, it's just because you're probably spending a lot of UTXOs from that point-and-click withdrawals which increased that transaction size.
You are in control which transaction to drop from your node's mempool.
In case of wanting to cancel the transaction, you should use "
abandon transaction" if it's already dropped from your mempool (
should be available after 14days since last broadcast).
