Hello everyone,

I’ve been having trouble with a transaction I made yesterday. I set a 1sat/b fee, since I’m not at all in a hurry to have it confirmed. I woke up today and went to check and it is no longer anywhere to be found on a block explorer. The transaction doesn’t exist on any explorer and, naturally, the original output hasn’t been spent and the destination address hasn’t received anything either.

I imagine this means it dropped out of the mempool? This has never happened to me before and I’m not quite sure how it works. It had only been about 12 hours since I had made it. I thought it usually spent a lot longer in there before it dropped.

Anyway, here is where the problem starts: I’ve made the transaction using a Ledger Nano S. According to Ledger Live, the desktop software,  the transaction still exists, though it has no confirmations. There is a sync button in there that supposedly updates the info from the blockchain, but nothing happens when I press it. In the ledger support website, they suggest I clear the software’s cache which would allow it to solve any syncing issues but no luck. I’ve even reset all accounts from Ledger Live and paired the device again and still, nothing.

So, what now? I thought about doing a RBF but I suppose Ledger would try to spend it from the change address of the original transaction, which hasn’t been confirmed. There were no other outputs in the wallet. What happens then?

Would a Child-Pays-For-Parent work for this?

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!
