Fee = 0 ... you have the answer.  Roll Eyes
no fee = long confirmation (in a week).

Although it will probably confirm eventually, there is no guarantee that it will ever confirm.

There is no good way to accurately predict how long it will take to confirm, and there is currently no way to speed up the process.

If mining pools would implement "child pays for parent", then they would increase their profitability and there would be a way for you to speed it up.  Unfortunately, I don't know of any mining pools that have implemented "child pays for parent" yet.

Elegius supports Child Pay for Parent according to something I read on the internet (can't really confirm).

The transaction doesn't even show up now on blockchain.info - "Transaction not found".  There are many variables with no fee transactions such as where it was sent from, the pools which have it in memory, the number of transactions waiting etc.

I doubt the TxHash you have posted is real at all. Double check with the counter party if he/she has sent at all as it seems this is an invalid TxHash. tx-indexes are smaller numbers, not so big.

It is showing up other places - assuming it was 0.0750 BTC  going from 1JJ6QjNpE1DSr7x1wwtLh5TtCk5rm3fhvd to 17oUDTDPgZ961o1sasbYS1YrtWD7ha1UAu .  Is that correct?


It will in all likelihood go through eventually, but with no fee, and no confirmations there are no guarantees as to when.

If you are doing this in the future, it is recommended to always use a fee unless you trust the person or don't care about the length of time to confirm.

You are right about the addresses - and guess what happened!

The BTC was returned to the original senders address! Luckily I paid with PayPal and I am getting my money back..

Well, you are lucky, since the transaction actually got returned.

And actually forever, since it probably won't ever get accepted.

Why did it return? Must be the wrong destination address, I assume...

I suppose some pools are nice and take the transaction but reverses it...

It returned because it wasn't confirmed and both wallets stopped broadcasting it.

That's how bitcoin works

I suppose some pools accepts the transaction, and sends it backwards. Otherwise it would be stuck forever in limbo.

This is not how bitcoin works. A pool cannot "send it back". There is nowhere to send it to, and they don't have the private key.

The pool either confirms it, or they don't confirm it. There is no way for them to "accept it and send it back"
