Transaction stuck for 2 weeks

[mra201]

Hey, tomorrow its 2 weeks since I tryed to buy something with bitcoin in that time bitcoin almost doubled the price.
Problem is that I paid a really low fee by mistake .Except of paying someone to manualy take my transaction and confirm it , is there anything I can do?I read a lot about this and everyone says if it doesnt go through after a while , transaction will be dropped from memory pool but its 2 weeks already , it feels like will be stuck forever.
Anyone else with similar problem and eventualy the bitcoin came back to their wallet after 2+ weeks?

Like I said I'm aware if I rly want to go through I can pay someone to take it but if it comes back to my wallet I can pay half for the same thing since bitcoin doubled in price.

Any suggestions are wellcome , thanks.

If you are talking about Ethereum it's due to cryptokitties

He clearly said it was bitcoin.

If I were you I would just pay to let it go through. I havent experience once that it goes back to me but it did take time so I use the ViaBTC just so it could go through.

If you paid bitcoin to bitcoin then you should not be converting it for the price now.
Next time dont pay too less for your transaction. This is a good lesson for all, this is also for us to avoid heavy traffic again.

Just wait for a little longer, I mean its not worth it if you're just going to pay someone else just for that. I'm sure its just a minor issue that some of us experienced once in a while. If a friend of yours experienced the same thing and he got it back then you don't have to worry. Besides, if it does really come its a win-win, because not just because you earned it back but also you've got your hands on it as the time that its price goes up.

Question, is there really a way that a person can cancel that transaction, I mean this is the blockchain we are talking about.

yes , I'm going to wait about 3 weeks because I dont even want the transaction to go through , I paid with a card for what I needed

reinject the raw transaction. You can also make a new transaction with a higher fee, and inject that one instead. I'd do that to make sure it goes through instantly.
