24 hours and still 0 confirmation. Please help.

Hi,

I made two transactions to move my btc from blockchain.info to bitpay. The first transaction was made 24 hours ago and the second one 6 hours ago. Both have 0 confirmation and both seem to stuck in 30000/56000 of priority forever. Can anyone help me please? Thanks! Here are the transactions:

All that I can recommend is that you try to submit your transactions to ViaBTC transaction accelerator. I believe both of your transactions paid the minimum fee to qualify for free service. The only downfall is that the accelerator only accepts 100 tx per hour. Then you have to wait until viaBTC actually mines a block.

100 FREE acceleration per hour

By order of submission, ViaBTC supports acceleration of 100 FREE transactions per hour.

Please resubmit your TXID at next new hour (e.g. 13:00 sharp) if it surpasses the hourly limit.

I'm not sure if they only include 100 "accelerated" transactions per block... or if they'll build a block using as many "accelerated" transactions as they can fit in a block, but given how hard this service is getting slammed, you may actually need to wait for ViaBTC to mine several blocks.

Given that they haven't found a block for around 7 hours... that's likely 700 transactions that have been added to the list. So, it's possible that their list of accepted transactions is actually growing if they don't find a block in every 1 hour period!

Thanks for you suggestions! Tried it just now but no more free request could be added. Will try the next hour.

Was able to accelerate one transaction but didn't seem to have made any difference...HCP's theory makes sense...

I’ll do it for you in 5 minutes. They only allow 100 per hour.

Edit - The first one said transaction input unconfirmed
The second one I was too slow, submissions are beyond limit. Try later

Just wait for the mempool to clear up a bit, it’s majorly overloaded at the moment due to the high volatility in the price & lots of people trading.

Thank you for your kindness! I got the transaction unconfirmed message too. What does it mean?

Were both transactions sent from the same address?
It so it means one is unconfirmed so the other won’t be until the first one is if you understand. I’ve had it before, these transactions WILL get confirmed. It’s like a forest fire out there atm, it needs to calm down

[dakelv]

Yes. Both were from the same wallet and address (blockchain.info). The first one appeared in the other wallet (bitpay) as an unconfirmed transaction, while the second one does not appear in the destination wallet (bitpay) at all.

You've ordered the TXIDs around the wrong way...

The first transaction is this one: 56bdf3da128c81602cafb07ed100a55648ab2b67399ee10509e5645bb073e62e
The second transaction is this one: d8063ef9e0affce8233fb914c14961d909a89790efe65c00c40f6bddd76c9e52

Both are unconfirmed. The reason you got the "transaction input unconfirmed" message is that the 2nd transaction (d8063...) is spending the (unconfirmed) UTXO from the 1st transaction. To be able to use the accelerator, you would need to submit the first transaction (56bdf...) and get that confirmed and then you would be able to submit the 2nd transaction.

The "submissions beyond limit" message simply means that it has already queued 100 transactions for that hour... given the state of the network with the big "pump and dump" that occurred the last 24 hours, the accelerator has been getting slammed... if you don't submit in the first half second of a new hour... you're going to get that error message

Thanks HCP. I made the two transactions separately from blockchain.com and made sure that for the second transaction I had enough bitcoins for the transferred amount as well as the fee. I don't understand why I would be spending the UXTO from the first transaction.

Because blockchain.com allows spending of unconfirmed "change"... You haven't really done anything wrong per se... it's just an unfortunate set of circumstances that have resulted in both your transactions getting held up.

Using a webwallet makes it harder for you to be able to do anything about it... because, to my knowledge, blockchain.com wallet doesn't allow you to use RBF... and you can't guarantee that a CPFP transaction would work either unless you shifted your entire remaining balance to be sure you were spending the change UTXO.

Apparently your first transaction has already been added to the ViaBTC queue, so it's really just a matter of waiting for them to find a block or two at this point and it should get a confirmation. Then you can try and add the 2nd to the queue.
