Hi, I have a problem with a transaction that's been unconfirmed for days.
I thought I added a sufficient fee but the fee my wallet (bitcoin core) recommended was probably too low/not up-to-date and now my 0,202 bitcoins (which is quite a lot for me, the largest amount of bitcoins I've owned) is basically gone.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
The transaction ID is 734ab7af5a74c4c4ed432da2cc2c635ccf990418aac2256b60c333d0dd468986-000

I'm sorry but all you can do is wait for it to pull through or return to your wallet. Seems like the network is still getting spamed by miners. I'd abstain from using BTC as payment option for a while.

The fee on this is far too low. You could try ViaBTC's accelerator, but you'll need to get lucky with timing. Alternatively, you could try double-spending it (or doing CPFP), which I can try to assist you with if you'd like.

I have recently become active again after a long period of inactivity. Cryptographic proof that my account has not been compromised is available.

They are not gone. They are in limbo in bitcoin core wallet. There are other wallets that let you spend this amount again with higher fee.
I think Electrum can do that, use replace by fee to get back ur money and send it again.

No problem Smiley

RBF is only useful if the replaceable flag was originally set on the transaction.

Didn't know that, so there is other optiion still, send same spent transaction again with higher fee. It will confirmm faster Smiley. Again some wallets allow that (not Bitcoin Core or Multibit). Try Electrum but im not sure if it can.
There is always solution in computer science world.

Just an update for you.  I have successfully entered your transaction number into ViaBTC.   The acceleration is confirmed.   Now we wait a few hours to see if it helps to get you to your first confirmation.

 If it does not work, there is another option, however you will need to pay a small fee of about $8 to get your transaction accelerated.

The menpool is getting smaller with every block mined.

Worry not, sooner or later your transaction will be mined
