Can I speed up unconfirmed incoming transaction?

[slovakiacoin]

I have a incoming bitcoin transaction that hasnt been confirmed for 12 hours and it goes between "confirmed in 3 hours" to "confirmed in 70 hours" all the time...No confirmations.
Can I as receiver do anything else then wait? Can I offer more fee somehow when being receiver in pending transaction?

Yes you can, copy your transaction id and head over to viabtc, just at the start of the hour enter your transaction id and it should go through and get confirmed in an hour or so, if you want i can do it for you, just send me the transaction id.

Viabtc says it hit a submission limit. I will pay you $4 in eth to speed mine up, please post an address.

ViaBTC changed the location of it's accelerator around the time of the Bitcoin Cash fork: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Viabtc says it hit a submission limit.

It resets every hour, but usually fills up in seconds again.

As an alternative, you can use http://confirmtx.com/ even for transactions with lower or no fee, as long as it's no more than 500 bytes. Larger transactions cost $4, which can actually be cheaper than paying a high fee on the transaction itself.

$115 fee for 10k bytes! Bitcoin is badly being held back by small blocks if that's not enough

http://confirmtx.com/ can do this though, for $4.

I paid confirmtx $4 48 minutes ago and coinpayments is still showing no payment. Opened a support ticket but not expecting much. This is annoying as shit

Still nothing...And Ive tried viabtc for like 50 times last hour and now but only get "maximun su...." ....

Can anybody tell me why this is taking so long time to confirm? Can I do anything?

It is taking so long because there is a mass amount of transactions in the mempool, driving the fee price up, see https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-size.

You could try to do a RBF - Replace-By-Fee, if you're using a hardware wallet like electrum, or a CPFP - Child-Pays-For-Parent transaction,

https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10733/what-is-replace-by-fee

If you don't exactly know what these terms are, simply google then and you'll receive a better tutorial of how to do it then i could ever describe.

Have also accelerated this using AntPool... You've included a relatively decent fee of 197 sats/byte, you've just been caught out by the ridiculously large spike in transaction activity...

https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count

It's creeping up towards 90,000+ unconfirmed transactions!!?! 

And as a result, fees have spiked... There is currently 6+ blocks worth of data all paying fees greater than 200 sats/byte: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

Fingers crossed that either ViaBTC or AntPool hit a block soon!

Here is the link to antpool accelerat transaction/prioritise transaction antpool.com/user/prioritiseTransaction.htm you must register or login and you will see empty box. Just paste all txid that you want to accelerate it. Its easy for sure.

People are offering services here to confirm or spped up a transaction. Check the link below. it should work fine

i advise u just patiently wait cos this things can be very tricky

[aleksej996]

RBF is used for outgoing transactions, as far as I understand, even tho a transaction can be both outgoing and incoming at the same time I doubt that this what OP meant. CPFP method is designed for these situations, there is no need for using third party services, however there shouldn't be any harm to try, except perhaps privacy issues as the accelerator service is linking your transactions to your IP, but you can bypass this problem with the Tor browser.

You could use services provided by some people in this forum under the title bitcoin transaction accelerator.Some charge a little for it but most of them offer it for free.

You have to just post your transaction id in their thread.

It was very useful for me when lots of transactions got stuck during BU issue.Even with very low fee per byte are also confirmed quickly with these accelerator services.

[zokizuan]

visit website like antpool and register to have the options

[wonderchaff]

yes you can use viabtc accelerator or btc.com accelerator i use these two every time i'm using btc

[AltCoinProject]

Confirmation fees rise around bank fees nearly. Not Fair! People do not prefer BitCoin soon, if this situation continue. 

[wonderchaff]

i always use viabtc and btc.com accelerator
