i have a stuck transaction that wont confirm over 48 hours. My fee was too low, didn't think to change the default setting as this has never happened to me.
live and learn. now i know to set that slider to highest setting!
I'm using multibit HD version 0.4.1. Already tried the viacom accelerator thing. still waiting.  Any suggestions to get it canceled or
raise fee.  i've heard you can pay a bounty to a miner directly to get transaction confirmed in mined block. anyone know how you go about doing that?
repair wallet doesn't do anything.
otherwise i guess i wait. does anyone know what the ballpark max wait time is before getting coins back in wallet?
really appreciate any help and will send tip for any info that leads to resolution once transaction goes thru or is cancelled. thanx

I notice there is change in your transaction. If you control the address the change was sent to you could try using achow101's Bitcoin Transaction Fee Booster tool.

It can create a ‘child pays for parent’ transaction', which is basically spending the change from your previous transaction using a very high fee. If the fee is high enough miners will have an incentive to include both your original and new transactions in the next block they mine. They have to include your original low fee transaction to get the high fees from your new ‘child pays for parent’ transaction',

The tool and instructions for using it are available at this link. Achow101 is a bitcointalk staff member and one of the moderators of this board, so he's trustworthy.
