Unconfirmed transactions

[mexxer-2]

I'm not exactly know how to do this. With electrum i cannot do it, than i tried coinB.in. Problem there was, i have to give in a transaction No., so i not really understand this. Why not making a new Transaction no.? I tried with the old one but anyway, nothing cause forward. To complicated this stuff for an average user.

Not sure if Electrum gives you a possiblity to double-spend it(FYI, you have to include it with high fees). Try contacting shorena, he's the guy in these situations

If the fee was not high enough it can take a long time or it will return to your wallet in 1-4 days i guess

I choose not to use 0.12.0 but if he sent it with that client it will eventually timeout.  I forget the exact time it will take to clear from the nodes mempool but I believe it's 3-4 days.

Thats just for the transactions of others, currently its very likely that a node running for some time hits the 300 MB TX limit. This does not affect the TX create with the node though.

yes, I currently have 3 transactions at nearly 2BTC not confirmed for nearly 20 hours now, It is announced on blockchain and legit.

2 are outgoing, 1 is incoming.

I have since sent a transaction with maximum fee and it still took 2 1/2 hours lol. so my wallet is still working.

Other than waiting, nothing else to do?

you can double spend the outgoing transactions if you have the required resources to do that successfully (which I'm still not clear what.).
or stop broadcasting them so that the btc will return to your wallet. you still need to wait though.

but I suspect you already know these.

RBF suddenly starts making sense, doesn't it?
funny how many people were resisting the deployment of this feature, while now they are going to be the first ones to use it

the anti-RBF peoples say it will kill zeroconf, but I cant figure out when you would ever want to combine zeroconf and a non-permanent sequenceid. It seems those two are not a good idea at all to mix.

The RBF property of making the entire tx RBF enabled, if just one of the inputs enables it, combined with the entire bitspace of sequenceid (other 2 reserved) seems like we changed sequenceid to mean RBF. Cant think of when you would use non-RBF for a CSV/CLTV but not sure it would never be.

unconfirmed bitcoins are worthless.
I'd never take them as a payment, no matter the sequence number.

people who think they can build a profitable business with unconfirmed bitcoin transactions are lunatics.
unless they are to profit from stealing the money, by fooling others into accepting zero-conf transactions.

So even an unconfirmed with a 0xffffffff sequenceid is too risky in your view.

Am I correct in concluding that an unconfirmed with a non-permanent sequenceid is even riskier, so any such usage combining zeroconf and RBF is insane?
