Question 1:
Hello.
 transaction from local exchange to my ledger nano s stuck.


https://blockchain.info/tx/4d045b3127538d23e2de9c191a01ff28f346f594b892e7ab7d220081da13fe33


 should i wait for exchange to act?
 
did transfer get dropped/back to exchange after 72 hours?

is it to soon to accelerate it by myself( costly) or wait more(how much)?


thank you in advance                         regards


This transaction depends on an unconfirmed transaction, it can only be confirmed once the parent is also confirmed.
You can either pay for an acceleration service like viabtc.com, btc.com or f2pool.com, create a CPFP transaction paying the fees for the 3 transaction (the parent transaction, your transaction, and the CPFP transaction), wait it out while rebroadcasting the transaction, or demand that the exchange cleans up their mess.

Question 2:
Hi

Any help on this one :

Thanks a lot in advance
Can't help you with the amount of information available, can you tell me if you're the sender/receiver and which wallet you used?

Question 3:
Hello.

Who can help and confirm this transaction will be reworded good fee.

Thank you in advance.                       Regards
This is basically exactly the same problem as question 1, so the advice i gave this poster should also work for you

Question 4:
Hi,

Without a doubt, the stuck parent transaction is the reason the child isn't getting any confirmations.
Since the sweeping transaction still isn't confirmed.. I would personally try to double spend the unspent outputs that were funding your paper wallet in a transaction with a much higher fee... You could potentially fund bittrex'es deposit address directly, that way you only need to pay fees once.
In one of the previous questions, i showed how you can create raw transactions using bitcoin core, i also posted a link to a blogpost on how to create raw transactions using coinb.in

Let me know if you need any assistance!


You, sir are A hero. Indeed I understand that the child will not go through without the parent, but I thought that was just a question of waiting for the parent to be confirmed, then waiting for the child. Since bot have > 600 satoshi/B fee they should come through, right? My question is, are the processes linked in the sense that the first transaction hangs because the second is dependent on it. Meaning: would the first transaction have gone through by now if I wouldn't have performed the second one without waiting for confirmation?

I can wait for another 12 hours, no problem but if you tell me that it will probably never go through, I will go for the options you present. And please post an address where can tip you. Your help in invaluable.

Edit: Sorry, just read the fninshing of your post, will PM you now.
I saw that you posted right after my public service announcement, so i decided to move my public service announcement one post down and include your question to the final answer round, since the answer might also be interesting for other members Wink

It's basically the other way around: a parent will never get stuck because it's child has a low fee... But if the parent has a low fee, and the child has a much higher fee (in sat/byte), the high-fee child might actually speed up the confirmation for the low-fee parent.
It's quite simple actually, a miner wants to maximise his revenue. He cannot add the high-fee child to his block if the parent is still unconfirmed. If he wants the big fee, he is forced to add both the child and the parent to his block... This is what is commonly known as a CPFP Smiley

It doesn't work the other way around: if the parent has a high fee, and the child has a small fee, a miner can just add the parent to his block, and he doesn't have to add the child... This way he maximises his income even more Smiley

Public service announcement: This weekend is christmas weekend... I have a week off next week so i won't be hanging around the forum quite as much as i usually do.
Since i'm providing a free selfhelp service in this thread (i'm not getting payed to do this, i have no affiliation with this forum, nor with any service i recommand, exept when i link to my own website), i'd like to have the weekend with my wife and kid, so i'll be locking this thread for NEW questions for at least a week.


If you have RUNNING requests, you can PM me for follow up questions (include the link to the post where you initially asked your question on my thread. PM's not clearly proving they're follow up questions will *probably* get ignored). I do not give any guarantees as to the timing of my replys to any PM's.

If any other longtime member with basic knowledge wants to take over this thread during my absense (well, not really absense, i'll be hanging around, just not as much as i did the last couple of weeks), i can unlock the thread upon their request in PM.

Any posts below this one will get ignored, or deleted... Whichever i fancy!
