Have I lost My Bitcoin? (Low Transaction Fees)

[zaynedieo]

Hey guys,

I'm new to this and was just playing around with a wallet and sent 2 transactions
b634198f0d0f66a342a40327cab410946b0b95a270f36da7f6e65eaade1e7c36

But I played around with a fee slider and accidentally put only 0.0000113 fee for this transaction
now it says unspent and I'm not sure what I can do to get the bitcoin back.

thanks for any help,


I found a contributor who solves this issue and thanks for others who explain situation many thanks.

if you own the private key for the address maybe you can do option Replace-by-fee if you don't know how to do it then you can read this article https://medium.com/@overtorment/bitcoin-replace-by-fee-guide-e10032f9a93f

No, you didn't lose your bitcoins, you can either use RBF or a transaction accelerator like https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator or wait for somedays to see the bitcoins back to your wallet. I don't remember how many days to wait, something like a week maybe

You have already posted your TX ID here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034315.580 so you can close this thread as the TX has been accelerated. If by any chance it doesn't get confirmed, the bitcoins will be sent back to your wallet so don't get worried about it.

also no matter what you do or how low you put fees, if its not accepted by network funds will be back in your wallet in few days

Your transactions will go through when the blockchain network free up since you use a low fee it will take a lot of time before it go through you have not lost your bitcoin but you have to wait a little longer, some time it takes within 24hours far all transactions to go through and if you did not see a confirmation after that period you have to use bitcoin acceleration.

There is no set date or time frame for a transaction to fail and the funds to become available again. It all depends on the individual nodes and their configuration because one node isn't the other, and the state of the network plays a role too. It could be a matter of hours if the fees are extremely low, or days at worst.

Don't panic because you didn't actually lose it but it's a good thing that you're able to check it. You'll be needing to confirm it so you'll still have your pending funds in few days but it takes a long time in some cases. I have the same experience before and I thought I have lost my funds already. It's a good choice for you to ask about your situation first.
