You do realise that the RECEIVING wallet has absolutely NO control over the fees right? Roll Eyes If the transaction was sent with a low fee, blame the sender... they're the one who set the transaction up and set it with a low fee. As a receiver, the ONLY recourse you have is to attempt a "Child Pays For Parent".
After de-snarking your reply...
Yes you are correct.. and yes I realize that.
The PROBLEM is that Electrum is STILL showing two xfers as not confirmed. now 8 days.
I assumed that I could not send these coin anywhere since they were not confirmed.
I also assumed that not confirmed meant that they were not really in my wallet and stuck in transit so to speak.
I decided to test these assumptions by sending a couple of coin to an exchange and... they were confirmed at the exchange where i promptly bought the latest zombie coin... that will be revived... we hope
So there seems to b a problem with Electrum after all. Perhaps the software is waiting for 8 confirmations to label the xfer as confirmed, but it is in fact mine after less than that. I guess I need to look at the code. Is it opensource on github?
So this wallet is now annoying me and I am looking for a wallet that supports Segwit to replace it once I have time to research that some more...
