confirm transactions

[leen93]

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to confirm some unconfirmed transactions (small amounts without fee don't get confirmed and send back to my blockchain wallet). Someone told me Discusfish could do this. And just out of interest I also want to know if the opposite would be possible? making a transaction which will probably never get confirmed and stopped broadcasting?

You could do double spend but you can't assure that the transaction will will get confirmed. Mostly transactions higher than 0.01BTC will get confirmed within 6-10 blocks without a fee unless it is higher than 1000 bytes. If Discusfish create a redeem script or use older versions of Bitcoin-qt, there is a chance that it will get confirmed.

You will need the raw signed transaction

They say that any TX submitted will be given priority and will be confirmed in their next block, however I am not sure how true this is.

You will need the raw unsigned transaction

Unsigned?  That would be useless, wouldn't it?

LOL oops. I fixed it. (a little tipsy)

It would be useless if you were to attempt to push it to the network as any block that were to include such a transaction would not be a valid block.

It would be useful to someone that is trying to spend funds in cold storage and is transferring the unsigned transaction to their cold storage computer/device to sign (although this is not what the OP is trying to do)

i just wanted to confirm a transaction without a fee which took days but now it's all fine

Fee is less than 0.04USD  

The best thing you can do to get confirmed transactions is add it (the fee) and you're "helping" miners too.
That miners are the ones that confirm your transaction so... where's the problem?

It essentially depends on the miners, if they include it in their block.

Its also hard to predict, when it will be confirmed.
