Wasabi coinjoin unconfirmed forever..

[BlockCheney]

I started a coinjoin (about 0.1 BTC) with Wasabi about 12 hours ago. still nothing has been confirmed at all, which is starting to get really annoying. is it worth to wait and how long can this take? I have no idea if it's being confirmed at all, it seems to be very low values:


1.350 sat/B

2.235 sat/vByte

0.559 sat/WU



also is it a good idea to repeat the coinjoin although it's not confirmed? I don't want to spend any unnecessary fees

Yeah, that is going to be quite a long wait. There are at least 17vMB of transactions paying a higher fee rate than you and would take 17 blocks to clear them alone.

Problem with CoinJoin is that once the transaction appears on the blockchain, it is difficult to do anything to it. Using RBF requires the agreement of all the users for which I don't think Wasabi provides. You can do a CPFP on that transaction which also means that you're paying a much higher fee as you're in effect making a fee increment for everyone for which you won't get any compensation for.

That's the cons of using CoinJoin compared to using a mixer instead.

The Coinjoin is not good at instant mixing it takes a while before it mixed and also depends on the network condition.

Reducing the anonymity target would also help to speed up the mixing process but it reduces the anonymity.
You can find it on the settings to edit the anonymity set take note reducing the number might reduce the anonymity of your coins and the higher number increases the anonymity but the mixing process will take longer to mix.

All you can do is wait, according to (https://mempool.observer/), mempool is about ~33317 unconfirmed transactions.

And I can only assume that maybe even the parent transaction (the parent of the Conjoin process), might not been confirmed as well.

All you can do is wait.

shit I think I made a huge mistake now.. I closed Wasabi and after opening it again, sent the unconfirmed exchange to my other electrum wallet. now it says unconfirmed parent in electrum. is my remaining 0.096 BTC on the Wasabi wallet in danger now? it is also still unconfirmed in the CoinJoin transaction with other adresses..   or will it be sent back to my Wasabi wallet even if the coinjoin works? I messed this up I think.

is this a problem now or will I get back the BTC amount I put in it to my Wasabi wallet? during the queuing process everything was online and the transaction signed correctly

If you already sent it to Electrum then you can make another transaction from Electrum through CPFP(Child Pays For Parent) but this time increase the transaction fee and send them to another address from your Electrum.

It will help to speed up the transaction and confirm after a few hours depends on the fee you set from your Electrum.
You can check https://mempool.space/ for a recommended fee and if you don't know how to do CPFP you can follow the guide from this thread below.

thanks, but will the 0,096 BTC be lost in that transaction if the exchange and the other Coins are not in the same wallet? or will it be in either the Electrum or Wasabi wallet?

Are you talking about the mixed coins from Coinjoin or are you talking about the exchange site where the BTC came from and sent to wasabi?

If it was a mixed coin and like I said above if it was sent to Electrum it won't lose even if the transaction was rejected by the mempool the 0.96BTC will be still in your Wasabi wallet.

No. The coins from the coinjoin will have been setup to be directed back to a specific address within in Wasabi. So, all you have done is spent unconfirmed funds. At worst, your funds will stay unconfirmed in both Wasabi and Electrum until the coinjoin (and then the Wasabi -> Electrum) transaction is confirmed.

I would advise that at this point, you stop trying to do anything with the Wasabi or Electrum coins until they're all confirmed to avoid any other issues... unless you're going to attempt a CPFP for the Electrum funds (which is likely to get very costly very quickly, as trying to cover the fees for 3 transactions is going to get very expensive, very quickly.)

ok thanks, all went well and I got back everything except the fee 👍
