Oops, I hit the wrong button on my phone!

[intristin]

So I saw the Bitcoin price dropping yet again so I figured I should transfer it to Gemini just in case it really started to tank. But my stupid fat fingers accidentally hit the "send without transaction tax" option and now my bitcoins are floating in space on the interwebs all by their lonesome. It's been 8 hours. I read somewhere that it can take up to 3 days if i'm correct? Well lesson learned, turn on the light and have some coffee before messing with my phone.

3-5 days as far as I know , but there is nothing to worry about . If it doesn't get confirmed (which should be the case) you will get your bitcoins back eventually .

yup, not a huge deal really, I realized I did it almost immediately after and said "nnnoooooo", then I laughed and went back to bed. I have the worst luck, every time the price rises or falls my funds seem to get tied up.

[Amph]

there should be an option for automatic fee  in your wallet in the phone, i don't know how they work exactly(i don't hold bitcoin on my phone)but they should not be so much different than desktop wallet in that regard

You'll be ok. It will find its way trust me!

No worries about Bitcoins! They will get the target and you will see them in your gemini wallet in around 3 days.

In some wallets is option to add transaction fee. I don't use phone wallet so not sure if i can help you with that. But im sure that if you look for some thread here on Bitcointalk about your wallet, someone there will help you..

Hopefully, that will not happen anything terrible with Bitcoin price, while your BTC is traveling

[NorrisK]

Use those bitcoins to buy a smartphone with a bigger screen, it will allow your "fat fingers" to hit the key you want

Might suck as you have no control over them for a while, but it will be fine.

[ShetKid]

Can also just happen within a day. I think it depends on the traffic and the volume for that day. Last time I sent money with a much lower fees than 0.0001 BTC , it got confirmed in 5 hours.

OK, first at all ... NO WALLET emit bitcoin without fees except when you hit 3 buttons to ask this. 
Don't be a fat ... speak freely : you don't want pay fees.

[Mickeyb]

Just to add, don't worry, I don't think we will go much lower than this price wise!

[USB-S]

Good thing that you didn't exchange your bits into fiat. I guess bitcoin is trying to send a message. HODL until 10k+ flip flop zip zap ding dong.

I guess I'm an older guy here, and as such, I will never do anything financial on a touchscreen. I've been banking online for more than 10 years, but always at home, with a keyboard. Doing it otherwise just spells trouble. Don't do it, and you'll be safe.

Why not? What's the risk, it's basically what you'd do on your computer. Online banking is just as risky, what does touchscreen really change? I think that's being a little bit old school for old school's sake!

Funny thing about this is that I have a very large screen as I own the Galaxy S6 Edge PLUS. The problem was I had just woke up and had yet to drink my coffee and I hate the wrong button and didn't read the confirmation prompt, it was my fault entirely. There is no excuse for not being able to see it on this screen. I blame the curved screen, ya, it's the screens fault.

BlockChain, I just started using it and was not use to the UI at all. I'm use to the TAX being deducted automatically from whatever I'm sending. I'm sure there is a way to set it up to do that I just need to figure it out.

I was under the impression that blockchain.info does not let you push transaction with 0/low fees, don't know how you were able to do it. There are ways to re-broadcast the transaction with added fee but it requires a bit of knowledge and a computer and I don't think you'd be able to achieve it.

Earlier the transaction like these would ultimately get confirmed but with recent spam attacks I think the miners have set parameters to avoid low/0 fee transactions.

Depends on the size of the transaction and the age of the Coins
Rough calculations can be made from that, all said and done it will get there but in case your curious
priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes

Yes that sucks, I once send 0.02 to someone and I copy and pasted the address from a email he send me, and I only copied part of the address, because I was in a hurry. It warned me that the address was wrong, and I checked it quickly and just added the last number and clicked send. Not seeing that the last number was on the next line.

It completed the address and I send it to the dump site for idiots. Some day, some lucky bugger will pick up some free coins, when he generates that address. Lesson learned, do not do financial transactions when you just woke up.
