Thank you

you used a fee of 267 sat/byte, while at this moment the optimal fee for a 95% of getting into the next 3 blocks is 900 sat/byte.
If you want me to give you some advice on how to potentially solve the problem, i need a lot more information, as stipulated in the very first post of this thread

transaction id: 709c8e5894b8eb55b4a7dcc222c88a000578dcb179a5dff06db40af7630a99cb

wallet software: Bitcoin Armory 0.96.3.99 (was 0.96.0 at the original time of sending) in conjunction with Bitcoin Core version v0.15.1 on windows 10
mempool: yes, i have checked http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was shown the raw transaction, so this transaction is in your mempool
something strange: As far as I can tell, no. I tried clearing/abandoning the transaction after 3 days in Armory, and then tried to do a double spend, but there was a mempool conflict and it wouldn't let me broadcast the transaction attempt. So now I'm either stuck waiting for the transaction to be abandoned by nodes around the world, or just trying to push it through I guess?

Any advice on how to proceed here would be awesome! Just not sure how long it's going to take to have the transaction abandoned, so if it's possible to push it through, would just prefer that then. Cheers! Cheesy

Armory is a fairly complex client... I suspect that the issue with resending is just that your transaction is still in the mempool of various nodes... Unfortunately you cannot do anything about their setup and when they choose to drop your transaction.

Given your transaction is also in mocacinno's mempool, it would appear your transaction is fairly well propagated.

Try ViaBTC... Very difficult at the moment, or wait it out... Not much else that can be done Undecided

Possibly try broadcasting your double spend via some of the broadcast services here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting

Thanks for that! Hmm, so there's no other way of going around creating a double-spend or CPFP transaction then? Guess I shouldn't have waited 3 days before abandoning the transaction from the wallet :/

Also, how would I know when the transaction gets successfully abandoned? When it shows up as transaction not found? I hope my constant refreshing of that page isn't actually rebroadcasting it haha:

Don't worry your transaction doesn't get rebroadcasted by refreshing that page Wink

As soon as you stop rebroadcasting, the number of nodes having your transaction in their mempool will start to decline. It'll take a long time before ALL nodes dropped your tx, but that shouldn't be a problem.
If you're creating a double spend, i see no harm in starting to broadcast it once or twice a day, starting a couple hours after you stop rebroadcasting

Thanks for the insight! So I'm assuming I can't use Armory to create a double spend, since it keeps coming up with the txn-mempool-conflict error message? Does that mean I'll need to use my private keys in another wallet (such as Bitcoin Core) to access the funds and do the double-spend from there? Or would it be better to do a CPFP using that method? Not really keen on chucking my private key onto any web wallets if possible...
