electrum transaction 'pending' for 2 days

[tomjones]

Hi guys, here is the code (the copy and pasted ID to clipboard code) for my transaction -1284af9b40091467aad76f26e2f4b47eaa67254a53696e127fdbf09503c32adc

Can you please update me as to it's progress? Usually transferring takes no more than 1 hour from my bitcoin
wallet to a site but it's been two days. And if I need to re-send can you advise me how?

Best regards

Rob

Your fee is considerably lower than the typical fees needed for a transaction to confirm. If you wanted to resend it, you would likely need to perform either a CPFP transaction (if there are sufficient funds sent to a change address you control), or double-spend (by taking Electrum offline, creating a new transaction with the same inputs as the stuck one and a considerably higher fee, signing it, and broadcasting it using a tool like bx or a node that hasn't seen your original transaction)

you can try service by BTC.COM
https://pushtx.btc.com will cost you nearly 5-10 USD based on your tx size.

Thanks for the swift response!

The thing is this transaction fee is higher than my usual! It's about $90. Is that nowhere near enough? I also don't know how to do the two things you suggested. I will check the service link you sent. Is there no way to let this transaction through and I will always go higher in future. best regards

Your transaction fee was definitely nowhere near $90. According to blockchain.info the fee was about $0.23.

I currently have the same thing with my transaction. Fee at 50.222 sat/B which are default settings in Electrum. Should have been set to Dynamic fees in tools/settings.

I tried this https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ in the first minute of the hour and the accelerator succeeded. Will let you know if it worked for me.
