2 txs from Blockchain.info stuck for weeks due to low fee

[Chorche]

Hi guys, I just wanted to transfer BTC to my paper wallet public address 1MnUs1sMifBaAFaCqu6qN2tsWuxWFrBJ5m but I just waited and waited, then started to check the status on Blocktrail so that they are not rebroadcast and maybe get forgotten by the mempool, finally I tried to accelerate using Antpool and Confirmtx but no change. Feel helpless now.

According to your both transaction you send your fee is really too small 1.183 sat/B i don't think it can be work in antpool you should need to hire someone that owns miner  if ever the accelerator didn't work. Next time always use the default fee from https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
To prevent having problem the same as this.. I'll try to submit your transaction again in antpool in other accelarator and hope it can confirm in few hours..

Edit: Accelerated done hope sooner or later your transaction could be confirm..

At this point, they are unlikely to be confirmed by the network. I'm not sure why they are still showing up in some nodes' mempools multiple weeks later.

I would extract the private keys from Blockchain.info, import them into another wallet, and send the transactions with a higher fee. If your wallet was created 1.5 years or more ago, you can just go to Settings>Addresses>Imported Addresses and click "Private Key" from the dropdown. With these WIF private keys, it's easiest to use the Electrum wallet to import the keys and send a new transaction.

If your wallet is newer (HD wallet), you might need to export your seed from Settings>Security>Wallet Recovery Phrase, and then import the seed into another BIP39-compatible client like Breadwallet or Coinomi.

Next time always use the default fee from https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

I agree that earn.com is a useful resource for gauging how much fees are required. However, I never send the fee required to be confirmed "in the next block." I usually pay 5-10% of that cost. I usually avoid the bottleneck at 1-5 or 1-10 satoshis/byte by paying slightly more, and I never have stuck transactions. People react to network congestion by overpaying, which is a mistake.

I also have the same problem with blockchan.info.

I selected their "Regular" fee and they've automatically set it too low.
Now my BTC are stuck.

how do you check if your transaction is getting rebroadcasted?

I just want to cancel my transaction and get back my BTC

If you post the transaction, we can see the fee rate and whether accelerating it makes sense. Or you can submit the transaction to an accelerator yourself:
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
https://pushtx.btc.com/

You should just drop Blockchain.info and start using a more secure, user-friendly wallet. If you use Electrum and click "replaceable" before sending transactions, this will never happen again because you can always manually bump the fee if needed.

Check the block explorers or your Blockchain.info wallet. If they are still showing the unconfirmed transaction, it's probably gotten rebroadcasted. It seems like some of these dodgy transaction accelerator services are just re-broadcasting transactions rather than working with pools to get them confirmed.

Hey guys, I wasn't around BTC for a long time and today I used blockchain for a transaction and when I choose their regular fee it was obviously too small and it got stuck . If anyone can help, please do so.

The included fee is not that low. It would have confirmed after a few hours if the mempool is not overloaded. Most probably its because bitcoin is pumping greatly.
I wouldn't trust blockchain.info's fee estimation as it is known for making stuck transactions if I were you. Better use guides such as these: https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx l https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

Anyways, I quequed your transaction in Viabtc as well as on Antpool. It should received confirmations after a few hours or so

EDIT: It's now included in block 498042 by viabtc

Thanks a lot its confirmed now ! Yeah I just read few guides here after confirmation got stuck and realised blockchain sucks nowadays. I wasn't around BTC for a long time, last time i used it was 2-3 years ago and back then I used blockchain so thats why I used it this time aswell, but won't anymore. Thanks once more

Hi, how did you manage to accelerate on ViaBTC, i'm getting this: "Submissions are beyond limit. Please try later." been trying since yesterday.
I've sent it as "Priority (0-60 min)" and no confirmations since.

As I said above, Blockchain.info's fee estimation is far from accurate and it'll likely make your transaction stucked particularly if the network is busy which is currently happening now.

Anyways, Viabtc has a limit of 100 transactions per hour and since this has a high demand, The slots might get taken in just a few minutes so you have to submit your TXID once an hour starts XX:00:00. You can use our forum time (top right)

Still not confirmed:( I have found pushtx.btc.com but they require around 60,- USD to accelerate a tx. I would be OK to pay that in case it does work. Would you recommend that or is it a scam? If a scam, what next?

Please don't put any money on such sites which promise accelerating the transactions but fail to do so.Recently,someone fell victim to the same scam where the refunds were not processed by the site neither the transaction was confirmed.I would advise you to wait for a day more and see if the transaction gets dropped out of the mempool,it should have !
Otherwise,check the free services in the service board of the forum where they offer free acceleration methods.
Always remember,don't pay for tx accelerations and check the network fees before broadcasting a transaction.

Thanks for letting me know. Will check the free ones as you suggested.
