Problems with a transaction

[Kirarik]

Hey guys I have big problems with a transaction from mycelium to safepal. Can one miner help me to activate the transaction? Please... I wait now 3 days and nothing happens. Very nice greets for helping

I would have told you to use ViaBTC to accelerate it, but it can not be used because minimum fee of 10 sat/byte is needed for a transaction to be freely accelerated, but the fee you used is 6 sat/vbyte. Most probably, mempool will be less congested by tomorrow (Sunday), very possible your transaction will be confirmed by tomorrow, but this is just a probability.

Can one miner help me to activate the transaction?

No one here can mine your transaction. For including a specific transaction in a block, you need to have a big amount of hashrate and I don't think anyone here in the forum has that.
Transactions are selected by mining pools and people who join a mining pool have no control over selecting the transactions that are included in a block.

Seems that:

- You have used a relatively low fee (6 sats/byte) when transaction fees have been relatively high due (50-100+ etc) over the last few days due to the massive price crash causing a flurry of transactions.
- Your transaction is unfortunately not marked as RBF (Replace By Fee), so you cannot "bump" the fee
- Your fee is too low to use the one working "free" transaction accelerator (https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator) as they require a minimum of 10 sats/byte.


Your options at this point are:

1. Wait... the transaction fees have been slowly decreasing over the weekend... If things continue on this trend over Sunday, you might find your transaction is confirmed in a block before Monday.

2. Pay for one of the ridiculously overpriced "pay" transaction accelerators. You'll pay a HUGE premium for this though... pushtx.com want ~US$100 to accelerate this transaction:


3. Try and execute a CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) transaction... you would need to spend the "change" from your transaction that went back to your wallet, but spend it with a HUGE fee to make the total fee rate across the 2 transactions to be at least 30+ sats/byte (at current fee rates)

So either the output that was sent to:
1PZxFDvHdcwn71URz12vr2iaXvsrFNVNfz
or
16snBgigUF6x1THE8hmnmAx8aaqpPgR2gQ

(I would guess it was 16snBgigUF6x1THE8hmnmAx8aaqpPgR2gQ)

This will be complicated by the fact that your transaction is using Legacy addresses, so the size is quite large compared to SegWit based transactions But basically, you current transaction is 373 bytes... the CPFP is likely to be 192 bytes (best case scenario for 1 input/1 output)... so in total, you're looking at 565 bytes total... at a "good" rate of 30 sats byte... your total fee would be: 565 * 30 = 16950 sats... you've already paid 2184 sats... so you need to pay 16950 - 2184 sats = 14766 more...

so, assuming 1 input/1 output 192 bytes, you would need to pay 14766 / 192 ~=77 sats/byte fee for the CPFP transaction.


I would recommend you try #1 and just wait to see if the fees drop low enough over the weekend to get your transaction confirmed. If it doesn't, then you can investigate option #3

Note that unless you are super confident with what you're doing, I would not recommend #3... You might just end up getting a 2nd transaction (and more of your funds) stuck in a low fee transaction if you don't do the calculations correctly!

Transactions are selected by mining pools and people who join a mining pool have no control over selecting the transactions that are included in a block.

I agree about transactions selected by mining pools but miners can able to request to include their transaction to mine for free.
The only pool that I know that you can able to request to include your transaction is F2pool. Only participants can request but not all participants are lucky to have the access because they need a referral code to be able to use their PushTX service.

Here's the link where you can request to include your transaction https://www.f2pool.com/pushtx

1. Just for you to know: the hash is more useful than a screenshot
2. The fee you have used is too small, others have been using higher fee hence their transactions keep getting confirmed before yours.
3. Look at option 3 in HCP list and try to do CPFP if you're in a hurry. If not, just wait and the transaction will either get confirmed, either get reverted, but it may take weeks. However, there's a fair chance that in the next week-end the fees will go low enough to get your tx confirmed.

There are few accelerators you can use, but I don't know if they work and you may also have to pay more than you'd want for it. The only one I know for sure it works needs bigger fee than what you used.


Edit: It looks like I was too pessimistic this time. The transaction is confirmed.
