I sent a 4 BTC transaction and it's stuck because somehow no fee was attached

[cryptoknightt]

I got .1 BTC for the person that takes care of this for me.

Take part of the fee or give part of the fee to pay whats necessary to get this confirmed ASAP.

I will give you .1 BTC total to solve this issue and see the transaction confirmed.

you may need to just wait.

this is correct board.  i will ask mods to move it.

if it can't be pushed it takes 2 days to drop off and come back to you.

i have had it happen on blockchain.info

It would be good if you can post the transaction id, but i believe that since it is a large amount of bitcoin then it should be confirmed but it will take some time, try to push your transaction time by time.

You can't do anything about it once sent, however, I would make sure to change your settings around to make it allowing estimated fees, and not placing them yourself.
No one can help you besides telling you about this, it will arrive when it arrives
Sorry if this isn't what you want to here.

But yes, it will confirm someday.

I would love to pay the .1 BTC. I am not understanding what I have to do right now to make this confirm. Make it happen, or walk me through it step by step and the .1 is yours. I pay first if the person is a trusted member

1) How did you pay?  ie Blockchain.info, Bitcoin-qt, mycelium, electrum, bitgo, trezor...
 
2) Do you have the transaction ID?

also, why do you care if the person who helps is trusted?  You're taking the help first.  I should be the one not trusting you to pay once assistance is rendered... fortunately I am naïve, like to believe in the inherent good in everyone and I don't need your money.

[unholycactus]

I wouldn't pay anybody here anything, you haven't provided any information that could help us help you. See post above mine.

In most cases I've seen on this forum, time and patience is the solution.

[Arcteryx]

I just pm'd you the solution.
Let me know if it works for you. If not I got another one that is easier to do.
Then I will send you my btc  address so I can collect the 0.1btc.

Cheers mate!

No fee, likely because you didn't add any optional fee in the settings of your non-upgraded Bitcoin client. Bitcoin up until 0.12 had a priority system that allowed large transactions of coins to move for free with relatively little aging, and there was block space reserved in each block for the processing of free transactions, since they are not spam-like.

Since there was no monetary incentive for including these, some miners reduced the free transaction space, or opted to include transactions for only paying customers. Bitcoin 0.12 has largely disabled the priority system for both sending and for miners, so a fee will always be included that should get you fast confirmations. Since the free block window is minimized, there may be increasingly fewer miners actively including these legacy transactions.

It is still a valid pending transaction that will be in most client memory pools, and I would wager would be picked up within six blocks by somebody.

You could hedge your bets by removing the broadcast transaction from your wallet and sending another with fee, but:

1. You can't guarantee that the same coins will be used for the second transaction unless you are a coin-control expert; you could end up sending the recipient two completely different and valid transactions funded with different coins, and they receive both,
2. The original transaction will still exist in relay and miner mempools, the second will be seen as a double-spend attempt if it sends the same coins, and will be dropped.

Is this yours?

I am assuming you are using blockchain.info because the "Relayed by IP" is blockchain.info.

Because bc.i is a web wallet, all you can do is wait. Wait for three days, and if it is still unconfirmed, bc.i will automatically remove the transaction. Your Bitcoin will "return" to you; it will be as if you never spent them in the first place. When this happens, you can send the Bitcoin again but this time you should include a fee.

Alternatively, you can export your private key from bc.i (although this is not possible with the new version) and import that into another wallet. You could send another transaction now which spends the same inputs but has a higher fee (aka an RBF transaction). If you want to do that, please let us know, but be aware that this requires some technical skill and advanced computer knowledge.

Take your bounty and offer it to a pool, give them your transaction information and they'll include it in their work.

[xhomerx10]

You'll just have to wait it out.

ok, where do I find a pool? one that is legit and will do it?

One of the ones here should be able to help you

Ask Kano, they find a few blocks per day on average and he includes the pools transactions in the pools work so for a fee I don't see why he wouldn't take another transaction.

To pick a good one find one that has an active pool op and averages a few blocks per day, send a PM and see if they would be willing to include the transaction, the transaction you sent isn't that "bad" as its very small (~400b) and is for a reasonable amount of BTC.

You can also try some of the larger pools as 0.1BTC is a decent sized amount, but you might not have the best of luck getting in touch with the people who can actually add the transaction to the work in a timely manner.

You will get a confirmation after 6 blocks or more,depending on network.

This has already been suggested, but you could always create a double spend of your inputs...

1) export your private key*
2) download coinb.in sourcecode*, put it on a usb-stick
3) on an online computer, open the index.html from coinb.in on your usb-stick
4) click on new-> transaction
5) fill in the address "1GAzLcKNdTaNPHc4oVG2EuxNFciASNUZ8r" and click "load"
6) since you only have 2 inputs, and you need both, you don't have to mess with the inputs...
7) create 2 outputs => one to 1Fh3km4GUMYhAqqchNLdcxYGu7R6wBZqnX (4BTC) and one to 1GAzLcKNdTaNPHc4oVG2EuxNFciASNUZ8r with the change... Make sure you don't send everything back to yourself, all the "leftover" coins will be used as a fee. Make sure you calculate your fee correctly!!!!
click on submit
9) copy the transaction, put it in an ascii-file and save it on your usb-stick
10) reboot your pc, preferably using a linux livecd* WITHOUT internet connection
11) insert the usb-stick, open index.html
12) click on sign, copy your private key from step 1 in the private key box, copy your transaction from step 9 in the big box, click on submit
13) now you'll see a hex encoded bitcoin transaction, copy it, paste it in an ascii-file on your usb-stick
14) reboot your pc again, now in your "normal" os, with internet connection, open index.html again
15) click on broadcast, paste the hex encoded bitcoin transaction from step 13 in the box, and click broadcast

you have now created a double spend
There are many other ways of doing this... But i think this is the easyest one

Edit:
1a) open your blockchain wallet
1b) click on import/export
1c) click on "i understand"
1d) the easyest is clicking on "paper wallet"
1e) re-enter your password
1f) you'll now see a paper wallet, showing your private and public keys

It's confirmed now as I can see.

Next time please add a better fee so it would not be stuck again
