At this point you need to stop sending more transactions until the previous ones settle. The problem here is that you have sent a transaction that used coins that you just received but were not confirmed before sending again.

Maybe someone has a better solution for this, but I would just wait and next time don't use unconfirmed coins as inputs for sending.

But. but. but...  The coins have been in my wallet for a month at least.
I had an issue in my wallet two months ago when it showed un-confirmed balance.
As per the wallet support people, I emptied my wallet to a new one and then created a new wallet where I sent my coins.  That cleared the unconfirmed balance.
But now a month later when I want to send my coins to an exchange I run into this problem.
Maybe it is a wallet problem..  How to fix it?  I dont want to lose my 12 BTC!

What software wallet are you using?

Also, if you have 12BTC on a software wallet my advice inmediately changes to: Buy a hardware wallet NOW!

Either Ledger Nano S or Trezor.

And for your current problem, make sure you have copy of the seed words and/or backup the wallet. Wait for transactions to settle as any time you keep sending new transactions using your unconfirmed change you are making the problem worse (no coin loss though, except for the fees).

MultiBit HD v 0.4.1
Yes I have the seed words and will make a backup now.
I was thinking about switching to Electrum wallet.


FYI,
I have 6 transactions stuck with increasing fees ranging from 27 to 224 satosh/byte since the 7th (three days)
I was sending to Bittrex to buy str and xrp.  So the coins crashed while I wait but now recovering so I am frustrated since I missed a good buying opportunity.  Of course the bleeding could continue but... nobody knows for sure.

This MultiBid HD is shit and I did not know it due to lack of research.  Found many threads with problems and solutions.  For now I am going to wait until the transactions cancel or go through.  The plan is to try to move my coins to another wallet when this fiasco is over.
The latest problem I discovered with this wallet is that the interface says satoshi/byte on a slider where you can set the fee.  That is a lie, it is just satoshi!  So when you think you are 200 satoshi the resulting transaction is like at 80 satoshi/byte.  I maxed out the fees and gives only 0.0005 btc regardless of the size (bytes) of the transaction!  So if you use this wallet be careful your coins could get stuck like mine.  Also someone suggested that the wallet is spending unconfirmed transactions of the previous unconfirmed transactions..  Now is this a fucking joke?  I have been in BTC for years and nobody ever said that you should do one BTC transaction at the time!  WTF!  In the end just be careful.  I will update this mess when it gets resolved to inform you guys!
Thanks for your help!


Good luck with that. I can't tell you anything besides just wait for the transactions to settle and, again, buy a damn hardware wallet!

Oh, and I wouldn't touch STR or XRP right now except maybe for shorting them... but that's just me Smiley
