Super low transaction fee

[whereyamamiat]

So I use paxful to purchase and then sent to my other wallet..lately their fees have been pretty low but today takes the cake.

So low I can't even accelerate it! Any other options other than waiting and praying it gets confirmed?

First of all, next time post the transaction ID and not your address.

Here is the tx: f2db4d2bd8a8fbdb9454b41825e2c77f97583ce3596ae68f54d47f2d6945bb29

You will need to wait until the transaction gets confirmed. According to this site[1] I found a thread today, 5 sat/byte is a hour fee. But it's not accurate. I believe that you may wait 1 day to see if if gets confirmed.

21.co's fee computer is much more accurate and in-depth if you want to estimate your fees.

If they placed a low fee, you should try to accelerate it using viabtc's accelerator (if they still have it after this bch fiasco). Or, if you know how to do parent-pays-for-child (or whatever that is called) then try that.

Unless paxful has options to raise fees on your transactions then there is not much that can be done, especially since it's a service that doesn't provide users with private keys of addresses. It's all up to them.

No, it appears that they won't have it anymore, ViaBTC transaction accelerator seems to be gone for good. If I want to access it: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
then I am getting "404, Sorry, Page Not Found" Furthermore even if the service was still there, they have a limit of the initial fee which needed to be used in a transaction first.
Op's transaction appears to be under this limit - so no acceleration would be possible anyway.

https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ is their updated site. But yeah mine is too low nonetheless.

This will require a little more time.
Your transaction has 1 confirmation.

I wouldn't say that. IMO 120 satoshis/byte is WAY more expensive than it should be. I have been doing transactions with 60 satoshis/byte and none of my transactions took more than 1 hours to get confirmed.

He can't. 7 satoshis/byte is too low for their accelerator to accept the transaction. I believe that the minimum is something like 10 satoshis/byte.


OP's transaction already got 1 confirmation. I believe that it took 1 or 2 hours.

Pretty good for a 7 sat/byte transaction right?
