Hey everyone - I received a transaction a few hours ago, that is still unconfirmed. The person that sent it opted for a pretty low fee - 21 sat/b - is there any way to check if the transaction depends on a previous unconfirmed transaction?

I mean I know it can be done, but how do I do it exactly?



If it happens again and you want to check if a transaction is dependent upon another unconfirmed transaction then search for the transaction ID in this website.

https://blockchain.info/

When you get a result like the one below click the link named "Show scripts & coinbase" on that page. The advanced view will then open

Any input to a transaction that is dependent upon another unconfirmed transaction will be marked with a red letter U like the one in this screenshot. If you see a red letter U the transaction is dependent upon another unconfirmed transaction.
