Hi

Sent some btc from coinbase and I was wondering why it was taking so long so I checked the transaction id here:
https://blockchain.info/tx/680c0a395dfc83a7063086d812fcc8c8c1981d8cec1d51385e02b76da6dd4275

It says 1 sat/Byte fee!!!!

Why is this? I Didn't set the fee Coinbase did!

This transaction is never going to confirm is it? 
What can I do about this as obviously Coinbase support is going to take ages just to get back to me? 

The free via accelerator says "fee too low" so that's out of the question

Also, as a side note, the 0.0167... i sent, what is the 0.0104... on that page?

Never had this problem before and not sure how to proceed.  Please help!


Wow, it really has 1 sat/byte fee. I can't remember the last time I saw a fee so low. Undecided

Here are a couple options. ViaBTC has a transaction accelerator: https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
BTC.com also has one: https://pushtx.btc.com/

Try to push your transaction through those services. User HumbertDice on the forum is apparently also offering this service for free via Antpool, and some users are reporting that their low fee transactions were confirmed: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2111723.0

You should also open a ticket with Coinbase, but unfortunately, it will take them a while to address it. The 0.01044064 BTC output is a change output (the change from sending you your output).
