Yes, I sender. Its actually a company.

I have gone back and forth with coinbase and the sender, and neither of them are giving me any assistance and blaming it on the other.

The sender is actually saying, since coinbase owns the private keys for their coinbase.com exchange wallet, they are using an automation process, where all incoming hashes with 2x over the current average rate fee and include it to their CPFP transactions to help their inbound hashes that were sent with low rate fee and are stuck in mempool. They claim that the transaction with 500 unconfirmed hashes belong to coinbase exchange wallet that are stuck in mempool and used my hash with very high priority rate fee to leverage those hashes.

Coinbase Support says they do not support any transactions, unless they are confirmed on the blockchain. They also said they do not apply any hash changes when sending to any of their wallets.

Whoever added CPFP to my transaction knew exactly what they were doing. They even went as far as to adding a Locktime to the transaction so that it didn't get confirmed on the next block, giving them enough time to create a new CPFP transaction.

Only if there was only a any to view who those 500 unconfirmed transactions belong too... that would help my investigation.

I guess as of right now, I have no choice but to wait till it either gets confirmed on the blockchain, pay for miner pool assistance, or wait till gets dropped from mempool.

Thanks everyone for all of your insight on this issue. This has helped me understand the real scope of this stuck transaction.

Merry Christmas everyone!
