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

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

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.

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

Didn't know that, so there is other optiion still, send same spent transaction again with higher fee. It will confirmm faster . 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.

The menpool is getting smaller with every block mined. Worry not, sooner or later your transaction will be mined They are not gone. They are in limbo in bitcoin core wallet.

I don't know any wallet that allows it
