solution to unconfirmed and stuck transactions

[jmigdlc1199]

The known solutions for this are simple, stop rebroadcasting the TX and if the wallet is automatically doing that, close it. That should make the TX disappear in few days when the nodes reset, and you will have the balance again to spend this time with better fees.
Electrum allow the user to resend with better fee to the same address, not a double spend but a higher fee TX, it's a built feature in Electrum.
if you use core or armory, using a double spend can work in some cases, and hence sending a higher fee TX.

First time I had stuck transaction O was in terrible panic and thought I would loose my funds with no return. Then I found out about viabtc that solved my problem. The only thing is that is hard to upload your transaction ID because of high volume of requests to them so you have to be quick and punctual. But viabtc is my solution, it works every time.

[socks435]

In case you didn't read his post he can't use viabtc because fee is too low!

OP i can only suggest you to send PM to this guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1946761.0 he is speeding up transactions.

I didnt tell to use Via BTC... Via BTC is not accepting anything now
I had mining contract there  and only then they allow people to submit txn


I said another method CPFP

Viabtc has time interval better to send your bitcoin every 1 hour try to send again. To be able to sent you should send after one exact 1 hour not above sample its 02:45 pm wait for 15 minutes and exact 3 pm send your txid. im sure your txid will be sent just follow the forum time..
This is just base in my experience but just send every 1 hour. .or i'll try to send it for you soon this coming 3 pm..

Updated: When sending your TXID looks like the fee is too low.. that is why you can sent them..  how about this one https://pushtx.btc.com/#/
But they are asking for the fee.

First, use a wallet where you can control the fees, we have a software wallet for that purpose, I think Electrum.  That cannot always be done, and funds from an exchange can get delayed in various ways, from security holds, verification emails and SMS, and finally a small fee being used by the exchange. 

[Sweetbtc]

There are always many suggestions once a TX has been sent, from double spending to other services.  Basically, once it has been sent, the best course is to wait.  If you have used a service or site, make sure that you have been given the TXID, otherwise the TX may not have been sent yet.

Tried using multiple methods to solve this annoying problem, my issue was that with blockchain.info as the wallet, they will keep rebroadcasting the transaction infinitely so even waiting for it to be forgotten wasn't an option.
Tried uploading to multibit and then deleting and re-sending it, that did not work as everytime I opened the wallet after changing, it was corrupted.. ended up being pushed after 4 days.
Trying to download bitcoin core for the future, if I need to I can just delete the TX's.

I made a bitcoin transaction on the 2017-05-21 00:15:59 today is the 2017-06-12 8:26:34 that is 3 weeks (21days) yet the transaction is still unconfirmed and the bitcoins have not yet been returned to my wallet as others will suspect so am considering the bitcoins in the transaction stuck..

i have scared through the net for about 2 days now looking for solutions. i found soo many none of which could work in my case.
 
the first solution i saw was to use viabtc.com. which is a website that facilitates bitcoin transactions. but i when tried using them they said my transaction fee was too low.. Yes i blame my self on this because i intentionally set the transaction fee too low. this was because my transaction fee were getting alarming as i was receiving multiply small bitcoin payments which increased my number of inputs per transaction when i want to send btc. and since btc transaction fees are calculated based on inputs and outputs and not amount of bitcoin sent, my transaction fee had to increase. i paid equal amount of fee as the amount i wanted to send in  a particular transaction this is the hash of the transactions where i spent the same on transaction fee as the amount i wanted to send
f09a4f8165e622424cae9b2b0fbcb231688ec308336ab41dec2668f75181750b you can verify

it got so worse that i was to pay a transaction fee which was much higher than the amount of btc i wanted to send. so i ignored the warnings of bockchain.info wallet and went ahead and specified a small transaction fee.. here is the hash of the unconfirmed  transaction
41e96bf8db40818393ed3704a0de7dab97c5955f341644608a41e85a8007c3e5 you can

The second method i tried was the double spending method which i learned from bitzuma.com following the link below
http://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-clear-a-stuck-bitcoin-transaction/
you can know more about this method by visiting the link above or this link
http://bitcoin-development.narkive.com/NgSiQBmM/bitcoin-development-first-seen-safe-replace-by-fee
 it is simple a path which some nodes on the network accept. they replace an old unconfirmed transactions with a new one following some particular criteria in an attempt to to allow people to increase transaction fee in the new transaction so that their transactions can be confirmed.
after following the lectures i discovered that it were only possible when a single btc address sends send coins (that was the only example i saw)
and i am using a third party blockchain,info which provide different addresses per transaction so for this single transaction i acctually used 7 different wallets so using the double spending method is quite challenging
i have tried a host of others i have seen paid options but i do not trust them
i hope i will get help  here
thanks in advance

I tried viabtc for pushing transaction from pending to confirmation I tried couple of time it's not succeeded try you luck . It's completely deepened on what time your using

[Amph]

use this if viabtc is beyond limit https://www.antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm?m=savePrioritiseTx

but if you are against antpool point of view, better to wait until the submission limit is done

Send me your transaction here or to PM, I will see in what problem

[DoublerHunter]

This is the only thing that i know that is working for me when i got stuck and unconfirmed transaction in the blockchain but remember that you need to have at least a good amount of fee because if you don't have then it will not be able to push (Based on my experience). https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ most of my friends uses that and if it says it is beyond the limit then wait until the next hour because they only refresh every hour. I hope it helps.

You can use blockcypher or another site to watch it.  I have seen a TX take 48 hours and that is the longest.  I like using blockcypher because of two things, you get the network information of how the miner software sees your TX and a lot more.  If you sign up on there, then you can provide a wallet address and get email or SMS alerts anytime your wallet address has a blockchain change, including new TX's and older TX's that are now confirmed. That way you can stop eyeballing it on the web and wait for an alert.

Basically, watch it and don't mess around with trying to stop it.  It will confirm and when it does, make sure that you learn why it was slow and work around that in the future.

Same thing happened to me as well. I made a transaction many months ago (actually, received BTC). It currently has over 50,000 confirmations, but still says unconfirmed in my wallet.

cool i will try them out ..

You most probably already got the amount sent. The reverse is not possible technically. Some people lie and they say that the transaction stuck even a high fee, but this is not true.

Maybe it need some sort of upgrade in the system but i need no one knows how it works if theyou blokchain still like this it will habe athe overloading transactions or maybe we also need a new currency or alternative for a transaction for us to make a psyment fast.

what he is saying is his wallet is still showing unconfirmed not that some one is telling him that the transaction is unconfirmed "at least as i understand"
if that be the case then the wallet he is using is to be blamed because a transaction can not be confirmed on blockchain yet the wallet is saying otherwise
