Hi guys ,

I am quite worried, I did not find a solution for some hours... My Bitcoin transaction has not gone through for 4 hours because I have accidentally paid minimum fee. I can't use VIABTC because my transaction fee is too low.
I use ELECTRUM.
ID TRANSACTION : 493e89ff3f8735958d3a5a6c2aaa96a68e68fd5b59ea03cc263e4cac0be8713a

Will the transaction be confirmed because fee is really too low? If no, What can i do ?

Thanks

Yes the tx fees are very low. You can see graphically more here https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/493e89ff3f8735958d3a5a6c2aaa96a68e68fd5b59ea03cc263e4cac0be8713a/. As far as I know after 72 hours you can spend again the bitcoins because the most miners mempools will drop the unconfirmed transactions which are 72 hours old. You post that you use electrum which has the functionality replace by fee. I haven't use so I can't give you any advice but there is a thread in the forum you could look at this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1742325.0 what ranochigo had written.
