Help with Bitcoin Core Transaction

[o_e_l_e_o]

I think I'll try with 6.

I'm going to disagree with Loyce here. The mempool is now filling up again, and 6 sats/vbyte is going to put you 5MB from the tip. There's a reasonable chance that that won't clear today, and if it doesn't, then it might not until next weekend. I'd probably be pushing up to 20 or 30 sats/vbyte if I wanted some certainty of confirming today.

BUT broadcast is greyed out.

You need to sign it first. Then you can broadcast it.

Went for 12 in the end, so fingers crossed!

So when I set that and click "ok" I get a confirmation screen

Transaction ID is unknown
And options along the bottom are Export / Save / Combine / Sign / Broadcast and Close

BUT broadcast is greyed out.

You have to Sign first before you can broadcast the transaction. Remember to not tick the box in the Bump Fee dialog to make the transaction final. It should still be replaceable.

I said 12 if you're unlucky, not 6. Usually fees drop several times on a Sunday. If you want certainty, a much higher fee is indeed the way to go, but for a total of ~50 mBTC with 15 kB transaction size, your recommended fee would be almost 10% of the total amount.
I think 5 sat/byte was just confirmed too.

Congrats The delay earned you a couple hundred bucks in increased value
What did you use in the end? Electrum?

[TallblokeUK]

Yes, Electrum in the end.  Glad to have got them out of Bitcoin Core and I have actually "cashed out"  Whilst I'm sure BTC will get much higher in 2021 the £1000 they equate too is well needed at the moment and considering when I got them all those years ago tidy profit!

Yeah, went for 12 as I wanted to be sure and to get it done!

Oh, and the added bonus, some HDD space back as I can uninstall core now

Don't forget:

Just so you know: after you've secured your Bitcoin, you also own about $22 worth of Forkcoins. Getting them is a bit above n00b level though, and you shouldn't try to get them before all your Bitcoins are confirmed on a new address.

So keep your private key.

Forkcoins?  What, huh, how do I get those?

Considering the total amount if quite low, I'd say just use Coinomi (on Android) to import your private keys on the BCH, BSV and BTG chain. That covers the main Forks.
Before you do this, you'll need to add Forkdust to your current address, so BCH/BSV/BCH-A don't move at the same time.
Coinomi doesn't support BCH-A yet, and it keeps telling me that my BCH isn't split yet (they're working on it) so moving them together might not be the worst. In that case all you need is some BSV-dust, then sweep the private keys on Coinomi for each Fork (starting with BSV in this case).
After doing this, never use this Bitcoin address again! Consider it compromised.
