Hello.
I need to get a transaction accelerated as it has almost been 7 days since it was sent to me
The fees where extremely low so I am unable to use Viabtc free acceleration.
coinbase wallet so cannot use CPFP
Is the paid version legit?
Or a scam like the majority
ViaBTC is legit and if you use their paid service you pretty much will get your transaction confirmed in the next block they mine (barring circumstances where there's just a significant amount of transactions in the mempool).
However, they are quite expensive and AFAIK they only accept BCH which is a real downside.
If im reading that correctly, you need to pay few hundred dollars to accelerate it because you sent with too little of a fee?
Not really. Waiting for a confirmation is always an option, or RBF/CPFP. Although the situation is a bit more convoluted here given that OP used a custodial wallet in coinbase which he can't actually get the private keys of.
OP seems to have his problem solved. I wonder if he actually went for the paid service given that his fee was way too low for the free service.
