Stuck transaction....

[SuperDerpBro]

Dumping all i have into my new Ledger.

I didn't want to pay the $50 ish CAD the auto fees in my wallet wanted to use so i set it to 0.0003. I chose that because that is what the pool i mine to uses for all transactions. Figured it would work. :/ Stuck for over 24 hours now heh

I see some people on here offering free acceleration? Is this some kind of scam?

The scalability problem of Bitcoin is now very much magnified with the recent surge in the transactions. People are complaining about the ridiculously high amount of transfer fees imposed by the wallets and exchanges. This can't go for a long time without affecting the very viability of Bitcoin. I can sense that Bitcoin is not yet ready for the mainstream adoption because of this big challenge. Something has to be done ASAP about this big problem...yet Bitcoin leaders could not come up with an acceptable solution.

No you did not, the worst that could happen is your bitcoin get stuck for few days. If it does not confirm in 2 weeks, the mempool will cancel your transactions.

You can use accelerators in the service section to speed up confirmation. I used to use viabtc to accelerate my tx, it is free. It only takes 100 tx per hour so got to be time it right to get in.

Alright, thanks.

You can safely use the transaction accelerator as I have used it multiple times form the forum. Check in the services section. I don't think its a scam but can't figure out why they offer the service for free though.

If you are willing to wait for several days then you don't have to worry about you coins. It will eventually get it through and be pick up by miners. I have transactions in the last couple of days stuck for 3 days but I don't mind. I pay a fee similar as yours. As far as free tx acceleration, they aren't scam, they can really help you, others ask for tips though if you are not comfortable giving tips then don't them.

Correct, it peaked at around 270K unconfirmed tx during the height of bitcoin price surge, but I look at today unconfirmed tx and its down to 100K. I suspected that the spam attack of low fee is again doing its job, clogging the mempool once more. On the other hand, maybe Lighting Network (LN) could really be the solution.

Well we have to see then if ever implemented, it can drastically improved the speed of our transactions.

is this the tx you were referring to? (from other thread) it has 38 sats/byte tx fee
it is opt-in RBF, you could re-send with higher fee if you're impatient
otherwise just wait or accelerate the transaction on free acceleration service whenever you have time

Yea, that's the one. Im not sure how to resend. Afraid i will fuck it up further lol. I tried https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ but its always full and i just found http://www.txfast.net/ .. but im not sure if should use it as im not sure if anyone has alread accelerated it for me on the other thread.

Due to the number of transactions occurring nowadays since the price is high, there has been a data traffic in their end, making the transactions slower. We hope that they are able to fix this sooner.
