BTC Tx from BC Wallet pending for 9 months, explorers do not recognize Tx Hash

[Cryptonewbiee]

Hi everyone here,

I'm new here and still finding my way around and in desperate need for help.

I have a bitcoin transaction made from my Blockchain.com Wallet on the 30th of Dec, 2023 which is still in pending state as I write. I watched tons of videos over the months, and it led me to trying Electrum wallet, unfortunately, it did not recognize the transaction upon importing my seed phrase. It's as though this Tx does not exist, I can only see it on Blockchain.com explorer and under my BC Wallet tx history, nowhere else!

Please help me if you know how to get this money back. It's a little over $500.

Tx ID: 44c40afcccc7f23065559178ab1d33e506a46d65c7a52d564cb791247652eb3a

You have a couple of options.
Two of which are either re-broadcast the transaction or import your backup phrase to another wallet where you can (re)spend the inputs of that transaction.

The former is easy since all you have to do is to broadcast your transaction with a Bitcoin client or blockexplorer like https://blockstream.info/tx/push,
However, if the recipient isn't you, it will be sent to the original recipient once you re-broadcast since it's the same transaction.

Here's your raw transaction in hex:

I checked it with testmempoolaccept on my node and it's still valid and the fee is "alright" but not at the top.
To others: Let OP decide, please do not broadcast it!

The latter requires a whole set of instructions, I'll provide you a step-by-step instructions if you prefer it.

Odd, I thought blockchain.com wallets kept rebroadcasting.

Is the 3 sat/vb fee that their explorer is showing accurate?

If so it never would have cleared back then. If he rebroadcasts now it should clear in the next block or 2, once again if it really is 3 sat/vb

This is the second case that I've seen so far and I think they do not re-broadcast.

Based from those two cases, Blockchain's wallet keeps the expired transaction and their API might be keeping it on the server-side.
The side effect is, their wallet transactions will never drop unless it's conflicted with another transaction.
It would never get a good chance of confirmation since its already dropped by the majority of the nodes.

Someone must have rebroadcasted it, as it has 11 confirmations now. It's weird their block explorer kept it since 30 Dec 2023, but doesn't broadcast it.

Ah, the good old blockchain.com quality strikes again.

Shrug, it is what it is and for some reason people keep using them.

That or something else triggered it, once again long ago fuzzy memory I always thought there was a way to do it from their wallet. I was wrong on the re-broadcasting so I might be misremembering here too. It's been a while since I even looked at a wallet on their website for someone.
