After 6 hours still Unconfirmed transaction

[Gio.co]

Hallo

More than six hours ago, I made a withdrawal after buying btc from Bitstamp. Unfortunately, the transaction is still blocked without confirmation. I asked the Bitstamp operators, but to them the transaction is done.

I hope I can get some advice to solve this problem.
Thanks for your kind attention.

You can't really do anything about it. It seems that the transaction fees have spiked a bit. That transaction pays ~24 sat/byte while more than 2x of that is needed to get the transaction confirmed in few blocks (source). If this was your transaction then you would be able to use RBF to increase the fee. In this case, you have to wait until it's confirmed. It should take less than 24 hours.

Like BitCryptex said, there's nothing any of us can do.  You're not likely to convince Bitstamp to bump the fees on that transaction, and their customer service reps have no authority to do that anyway.

It's just unlucky timing, but you'll get your coins.  Just be patient.

Dear BitCryptex
 
First of all thank you for your fast and kind attention. I ask you for further advice, if i make another transaction, keeping the high fee, it could speed up and unblock the situation or double the problem?  (sorry for my english)   Thanks again

It's not going to cause any more trouble. What you are referring to is Child Pays For Parent. It could encourage miners to mine these two transactions but it's not a given.You might need to uncheck "Spend only confirmed coins" in Electrum settings.

You can read more about this topic with this post ---> All about "stuck" transactions and what you can do to fix them, but the solution mentioned by BitCryptex is the best (for your case,) by the way, what wallet did you use to receive this coins?

The transaction you mentioned^[1] contains more than 111 BTC ($735,672.58 with $7.58 fees,) surprised why the platform did not pump more fees for it?

Thanks Hugeblack

My transaction was a modest withdrawal from Bitstamp, but probably managed as part of a set of transactions.

I assume I'll have to wait until tomorrow, the 24 hours, when I hope the problem will be solved.

The same thing happened to me about two weeks ago, I received my Bitcoin after 12 hours! Maybe it's because the network was congested! Even today my bitcoin still pending since 7 PM and now it's 1:00 AM plus! So, wait a couple of hours more, you will get your Bitcoin then!

If your transaction still unconfirmed or stuck the link is already posted by hugeblack or go directly here https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/


Anyway, it looks like he doesn't need to wait for more than 24 hrs because the transaction is already received more than 10 confirmations.

Next time learn to check the current recommended fee from https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ and https://coinb.in/#fees but since Bitstamp doesn't have an option to set up the fee these tools are useless but you can refer on this to know if there is network congestion or if the fee for a faster transaction is low or high.
