I tried to send an Ethereum transaction using
https://www.myetherwallet.com/ over 40 days ago. I used a very low fee and seems it was not nearly enough. The transaction is now stuck and says pending. It doesnt look like it will be dropped and I am not sure what to do.
I tried to speed it up by adding more gas through Metamask but every time I do that I get an error in MEW and it fails. I read somewhere that I need to spend the same nonce with more gas for the transaction to be confirmed. I have no idea how to do that. Can someone help?
Has anyone faced similar issues wit stuck Eth transactions that couldnt be spent and how do I solve this?
What is going on with the fees and why is an ETH transaction more expensive than a Bitcoin transaction?
MyEtherWallet automatically detects if there's pending transaction. So all you need to do is create a new transaction to same address and same amount but with higher fees. If you are doing now, do 135-140 Gwei. Then MEW with broadcast new transaction with same nonce to the network and it will be accepted in block shortly. Once it is accepted in block, your previous transaction will be marked 'Cancelled and Replaced'.
If you have done any transaction after the pending transaction, it will be either pending or dropped. If it is pending, it will be confirmed after your pending transaction is confirmed provided you have added enough fees in that transaction.
