Made two transactions stuck...Is there any thing i can do to help

[Modestlearner]

Here is the thing.
Last night I found it possible to broadcast a transaction with 0 fee and did so to see what would happen , and that's the TXID
2db9d1d0cd934ce74040de66e5a65cf4220ff319bf5cff9f09dc839a9347658c

Later I found it woud take quite a long time to make it confirmed , and tried to save the money and transfer the unconfirmed spent to the next address with some fees
b5cf39f62518a5dd8d9361498e8eae6865b6909f1ea862bb1d087fae0c82c42e

And this amount of money seemed stuck in the chain with another 50K transactions waiting to be confirmed.
So what can I do right now or just wait for weeks or months?

Rerally need your help if someone can give me some advice.
Thank you very much.

You should pay someone to push your btc tx on their pool miner. I see that Quickseller and macbook-air user can do that. Or you can try make an account on viabtc and pay 0.01 btc to confirm your tx

Yeah... your first transaction has 0 fee... so that's not likely to go anywhere fast... and the 2nd one spends the output from the first... so that cannot confirm until the first one does

What wallet did you use to send these? You need to make sure your wallet is not rebroadcasting them and wait for the transactions to drop from the mempool (could take up to 14 days if no one rebroadcasts them)... then you should be able to spend the coins again.

Is there any cheaper way to do so?
0.01btc is not a small amount of money...

WOW, I haven't heard about it before. So waitong for 2 weeks and all my unconfirmed transactions will be aborted and all the money can be reused again?

Asking a miner to push it through has worked for me in the past. It's a small fee. Not much more then the current fee you pay for it. They pushed one of my transactions through within 4 hours of me sending payment .

Just my two cents

It could take 2 weeks. It could take 3 days.  It could also take much longer since anyone can rebroadcast a transaction at any time.  You shouldn't count on the two weeks which is probably why you hadn't heard that before.  ;-)

Hi there! Every now and then I look around for info on 0 fee transactions - nothing other than an intense personal curiosity. But to my (limited) knowledge, there isn't any more any wallet than can let you pay 0 fees so I'm very intrigued: how did you do it?

I can sometimes send txs as low as 3 sats per byte but never actually zero. I do it to test the network and see if it will ever get confirmed if it just keeps rebroadcasting without intervention (such as accelerating services).

Anyway, since it seems to be a problem for you, I've submitted it for confirmation. Your second one should confirm on its own in a day or two...

If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to try a 0 fee trial spend myself!

Thanks a lot!!! Really!  The two transactions have all been confirmed, which surprised me this morning.

The software I use is Electrum, it has both the android and windows version, perfectly meeting my demand and also other version working on other platforms.

And if you want to find other software ,you can go to   bitcoin.org     to get more wallet info. And also you can use your private keys to signature a transaction and broadcast it using some website's free service,like the two below:
https://localbitcoinschain.com/tx/send
https://coinb.in/#newTransaction

And also I wonder how did you submitted the two transactions for confirmed, is it an operation only for miners or we normal users can also do the same thing? And also would you mind sharing what software did you use to rebroadcast the transactions? Because once the transaction was broadcast, I can't rebroadcast it later.

Thanks again for your help.

No problem! Happy you got that sorted.

Now this is strange. But wait. I've always used Electrum so I opened it right after seeing your post to try. My Electrum doesn't let me send 0 fees (I think it hasn't for several versions back). If I set the static fees to zero, it automatically sets it back to a min of 30 sats/byte. If I choose to set fees manually, the minimum on the slider doesn't let me bring it down to zero.

As you can see, I'm not much more a technical expert at this than you =)

The two "accelerators" I use are public, so anyone can use them. Just sign up for an account, choose their acceleration/prioritisation tools from dashboard (unfortunately needs phone registration for the latter):
www.viabtc.com (your tx needs a min 10sats/byte fee though)
antpool.com

In the past, occassionally, I asked some users from here but I no longer rely on them since bitcoinfees.21.co estimates are quite useful. I also wouldn't recommend using these services except in emergencies. We all need to learn to use appropriate fees for normal transactions.

Just leaving your wallets open should be enough to keep your tx broadcast. You also can use blockr.io, blockchain.info

Well, seemed to be an accident to set 0 fees, becasuse I can't set it 0 anymore. Same as you, the software always shows me the warning window of low fee.

Maybe there is a threshold got from the net and I by chance broadcast the transcation when the software hadn't got the number?

In fact, after reading your message, I tried and successed once when click the preview button with 0 fees, but when i changed a receive address I just could't  review it and so did i ater on.

The lowest fee i can set is about 0.08 CNY with a typical 226 bytes of transcation but may also take quite a long time.But a 1 CNY fee may work well if not in a hurry.
