I haven't used multibit in years but some change accumulated on an address connected to the client and yesterday, maybe influenced by the relative high price of Bitcoin (still very low compared to the medium term potential), I decided to send it to an other address :-)

12 hours ago, I issued a transaction, the minimum default transaction fee I could use was 0.0019011 and it made a 4 digit after coma round number for the money sent. It seems like a huge transaction fee but I was impatient and rusty on multibit so I sent it anyway without trying to lower it.

Now, the transaction is still pending/unconfirmed, 10 peers have seen it, it's not on blockchain and I need to close multibit then re-open it to refresh the number of peers that have seen or it stays the same.

I see a lot of subjects about pending transactions, the most common advice is to switch to multibit HD but I am not familiar with it so I have some uncertainty on whether it will work or not.


Can anyone enlighten me on my chances in waiting for the transaction to be confirmed ? How many peers could it take ?
Thanks.

The version is 0.5.16.
