Thanks for trying to help me figure it out what went wrong....
[\quote]But the input of the previous transaction isn't spent yet, did you used another input(s) for the recreated transaction?
Anyways, 1sat/vB is enough at the moment, it's 1-2 blocks away; but CPFP will definitely speed it up.
What's your client BTW? The previous transaction's input may be locked until you manually drop it from your wallet.
If the new transaction is using the previous' input, then it's not in the mempools yet.
...using coinbin to make tx
....[\quote] until you manually drop it from your wallet
so tried clearing all cache and temp files and recreating tx. but still mempool conflict error.
> txn-mempool-conflict (code 18)
also tried switching Broadcast Network

my friend cant afford to loose $, but this is btc and it says it has not moved so that is comforting - eventually tx will age out of mempool right?
so adding your points to error code, will try importing key into another wallet and try to resend. If that does not work will try sending to original address with high fee and hopefully some nice miner will push the entire tx string through. will update - Thanks again
