Bitcoin Transaction won't confirm

[MrFearz]

I wanted to transfer the bitcoin and haven't set the fee, it automatically used the lowest available.

Is there anything i can do? I've used a few free Accelerators.

Which wallet are you using? I can see that it's an RBF transaction so you should be able to increase the fee. Here's how to do so with Electrum:

What did you use to send those coins, you're own wallet like electrum or an exchange?
But that aside, you sent a tx 3 hours ago with almost the minimum fee, just wait a bit till the mempool gets empty again, normally just past midnight GMT time it should get confirmed.

And no accelerator would work with a 1sat/b fee, the only one that is still free is viabtc but it won't accept yours.
Just wait a few hours.

Hello, I've used Aqua wallet on iOS, I usually update the fee to the highest available, and today i forgot to modify it. Pretty new in blockchain, I wanted ask from now incase it would be too late, thank you for your answers, I'll wait until tomorrow and see what happens!

You don't have to do anything if you are not in a hurry, just wait until bitcoin mempool cools off a bit.
I see that your transaction supports RBF, that means that you can increase fee if you are in a hurry and you don't want to wait, but I am not exactly sure how to do this in Aqua wallet.
I didn't find much information about that on Blockstream wallet, except some basic stuff about supporting RBF:

Hey! If it will eventually confirm, i'm not in a rush! I was scared that it would never confirm. Thanks!

Yes, even though your transaction has the lowest fee per vbyte possible, mempool usually gets emptied at least once every 24 hours so your transaction will probably be confirmed by tomorrow. If not, you can continue to wait for your transaction to be confirmed or it will eventually be dropped from mempool after a few days and the funds will be returned to your wallet.

That's the mindset to go about it. So long as your sure to have put in the address correctly, your safe. All you've got to do is wait and in time, it would confirm.
You should note that, preferences are given to transactions with the higher fees on them. That's why its made possible for you to bump the fee on a transaction after its been placed with a little fee. If you do this and it ainting confirming, you could use the services of miners.

Luckily, we got miners here on the forum and they attend to these for of transaction without taking a penny. Yeah, not even a penny. Its part of the nenefit you get for being on the forum, as it brings you in contact with these miners. You can easily fine them at the services section of the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157164.0

All you've got to do should it be that you've increased the fee and it ain't confirming, is to copy the transaction ID and paste there with a little note that seeks help on confirming transaction. Should it be accepted, your transaction would be accelerated.

Are you actually linking and recommending a moderated topic run by a scammer who only "accelerates" high fee transactions with ViaBTC and makes deals in private about small fee tx, scamming poeple?
How about a big NO!

Also, can you please name some of those "miners" besides kano or ck who run their own pool I don't know any operator here and I've never heard them offering this service?

Thank you!

I see that your transaction has finally been mined few hours ago, that's a good news.
Next time, if you have access to the change output of your transaction or if you know the recipient, you can spend the change output or ask the recipient to spend the funds not confirmed received, it will accelerate the transaction through the Child Pays For Parent scheme.
You can also quietly wait for the week-end. Usually during friday, saturday and sunday nights transaction fees drop massively(UTC time speaking).

I'm sure there will be a time where the lowest transaction fee is 1sat/byte. I have tried transferring my bitcoin with 1sat/byte and it didn't transfer right away as I am waiting for it to get included by the miner and confirmed and it did later on. If you are using a wallet where the fee could be replaced then you may send it once again with a higher transaction fee like in electrum. You can check the transaction you made if RBF or replace by fee is on the you can do it but if it isn't available then you can use CPFP where the previous is paid along with the new transaction. As of now, nothing to worry as It is already confirmed and you can check the other wallet where you send it and see if it show in there.

I don't claim to know any of these persons neither am I aware of whatever they do in private. I only recommend out of the fact that, I've tried using there service once fron a long time ago and it went smoothly. Though, your very correct on the part that, it was a high fee transaction. Because, it became a last resort for as at then, having the need to havey transaction  confirmed as it was of urgent need as at then and it was free.

The good news is, OP's transaction  has been confirmed. And I'll watch it on them too about the little fees and negotiation as, I haven't heard or known them to be making deals.

My bad! Just ran through his trust ratings and found a lot of alligations on that user. Thanks for putting me  in the right and calling my attention to this. I'll edit that right away!

Finally, it got confirmed. I always check the minimum transaction fee before processing any payments on https://mempool.space/ I would recommend everyone here to do the same first otherwise transaction may get stuck. I am not sure which wallet was used by the OP but every wallet has low, medium and high modes. You can choose the medium one every time if you do not want the transaction to get stuck.
