Re: I put zero fee & it's still unconfirmed after 66 solved blocks

I sent 0.03011627 BTC to LuckyBit blue yesterday, as a test I put zero fee & it's still confirmed after 66 solved blocks. I regret not including a fee but blockchain.info says the estimated confirmation time is "Within 6 Blocks (Medium Priority)". I have the Warning "The transaction fee is less than recommended." It's annoying that all miners are greedy and won't accept my transaction. This is killing me waiting over a day. I wanna play!

There are too many transactions on the network, it seems my transaction will be stuck in limbo unconfirmed forever so how do I reverse my Bitcoin transaction with zero confirmations and try again with a fee? I tried importing my private key into my mobile wallet it says my balance is 0.03010627 with a 0.000010 fee and it says "This payment has not been transmitted yet."  Sad

Are you using blockchain.info wallet? If so, you can wait for 2 to 3 days and the transaction will be removed if it is still unconfirmed, and you can create a new transaction then.

There is no way to send 0 fee transactions using blockchain.info.

In fact, you can.
OP has confirmed that he was using blockchain.info in making that zero fee transaction.
Another example is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=186737.0.

All I did was choose Frugal as default fee policy. I don't know what "unless absolutely essential" means but it seems essential that my transaction will not end up unconfirmed forever until days later when I can try again.
