unconfirmed payments and recieving addres only valid for 2 hours

[sparkyboi]

so i decided to try some bitcoin mining and hashflare.io and paid for my order via btc anyway it said the recieving address would only be valid for 2 hours 4 hours on the payment is still unconfirmed and on hashflare it says the order has timed out so what will happen to my btc when it does confirm if the address is no longer valid and order is timed out will i lose bitcoins?will they go to someone else account if the site links that address toa  new transaction?im a bit of a noob and am just worried that ive lost the monies!! the transaction id is

 0f4d3fd563ec454ad9fac0f39de73ff1d4e8d3465645cf1a6376a94922456b39

could anyone tell me why this isnt confirming and why the input and output is higher than the amount transacted??

i also have another 2 payments to different people made shortly after which are also unconfirmed after 4 hours is this first transaction stopping them or is something stopping all 3? the other 2 tx ids are


54e47d2a553f1e4c424c08139610d536ea8fbe0d8b8163ecab3166a190b14e4c

if they help at all

i use electrum which automatically works out fees so dont think its that and have never had this problem before....ive seen other threads and from what they say the payments will either eventually go through or be returned but cant find anything about what happens if you are making a payment to an address the site says is only valid for a certain amount of time


any help or info would be MASSIVELY appreciated as im a bit of a nervous nancy lol

Yes the first transaction is stopping the other 2 from being confirmed but it's quite surprising why the first transaction is not getting confirmed even though the fee of 0.00010856 is not small for 225 bytes, have you tried to push it? https://blockr.io/tx/push

Addresses do not expire. Addresses are not linked to a transaction. The site simply means that they will no longer actively watch for a payment to that address so they will not mark your order as paid. You will have to contact their support in order to fix that issue. Bitcoin transactions are not reversible so if your transaction confirms, you will not be refunded. You must ask them to either refund you or proceed with the order.

Your transaction has not confirmed because the fee is too low. You paid a fee of 7390 satoshis (~32 satoshis per byte). A fee that will allow your transaction to confirm within one block would be 20160 satoshis (90 satoshis / byte) according to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/.

This transaction depends upon your first unconfirmed transaction. It cannot confirm until the first one does.

The fee is too low on this one.

i use electrum which automatically works out fees so dont think its that and have never had this problem before....

With Electrum, you can set it to use dynamic fees (it figures out the best for you) by going to Tools > Preferences and checking the Dynamic Fees checkbox. To get the fastest transactions, move the fee multiplier slider to the right so that the fee you pay is higher thus your transaction confirms faster.

thanks for the help guys they are still unconfirmed but im not worried about how long it takes aslong as i know they are safe and not just going to credit someone elses account in a couple of days!! i wont bother messing around and trying to push it as im not exactly sure what im doin with the raw data am still a complete noob everything bitcoin related just thought a bit of trading and mining looked like it might be quite a fun and hopefully profitable hobby!!will change my dynamic settings in electrum now to avoid it happening again thank again for the help!!
