Transaction not confirming, even after a CPFP

[AB de Royse777]

Howdy,

So i did a transaction with Electrum, set at high fee.

TX here: https://blockchain.info/tx/849d2109a9ac614947daa76990a233eee26a34e56f04ee9e9434e5a762941bde

I used Electrum to do a CPFP with higher fee as seen here:

https://blockchain.info/tx/0643409bfacc2e0b46cf7f8f6e7113c6e47631aad3a38f2b8ddcaf09d4a67f5d

Fee was still to low so i let Electrum put in a higher fee.

Still i can't seem to get it confirmed....

Anybody that can help?

Thx.

EDIT: seems to have gotten the first confirmation now.

At this time BOTH transactions have confirmed.

Just FYI, it looks like your original transaction was caught out by the sudden spike in unconfirmed transactions and resulting spike in transaction fees that you can see here: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#1,24h



Even though the fee estimation in Electrum is pretty good, sometimes you'll get surges in activity like this that will catch you out. It's always worth a quick look at a couple of other sources for unconfirmed transaction counts and current fee levels just to see if anything is happening:

I usually sanity check what Electrum suggests against:
