why did you not use the cpfp option? right click on the unconfirmed transaction and use child pays for parent to bump the fee:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5zchm8/sent_transaction_with_low_fees_in_electrum_can_i/dex2alq/

I did that and it only wasted my bitcoins. This feature doesn't work.

Anyway,

After waiting for TOO LONG long, all (yes all) transactions that were problematic are now solved. No pending transactions anymore.

BUT

The problem is even worse: None of transactions got refunded! The destination (receiver - to whom i wanted to pay) bitcoin addresses were changed in the meantime and all my bitcoins are lost. I didn't get any refund. Only balance disappeared.

I don't have time anymore to wait. Also when trying to find a solution on that problem on my own I saw some post someone saying that NO new transactions should be done until everything is confirmed/refunded (no pendings). It is simply too urgent for me and it is my only available source of bitcoins, very few ones (i only have like 0.045). I don't have any other source such as localbitcoins or wherever online balance is containing bitcoins. This (problem shown by me on screenshot in one of my previous messages) should be solved now.

I understand you are saying the only solution to get those transactions completed/refunded (please kindly tell me whether they will be completed OR refunded - if i had a choice, but i most likely don't, i would prefer refund) is to wait. Only wait. But approximately how long do I still have to wait? On the screenshot I provided, the oldest Unconfirmed Parent is from 2017-05-08 22:15:51 and the ''Low Fee'' transaction is from 2017-05-08 21:53:04. Both times are most likely from gmt+1

Nothing is solved. Even one (out of two) outgoing transactions i did AFTER the upgrade is still not completed. I am being seriously worried now because on my bitcoin activity depends my entire income. I also have some bills to pay. Here is the screenshot from disaster that is happening (in case if any particular info needed, let me know what and where to get it and i will definitely provide it):

I updated Electrum and have one good news and one bad news.

Bad news: All problematic transactions are still there but the title is different. Now it says for one ''Unconfirmed parent'' (i don't know whats that) and for another ''Low fee'' so those transactions still don't work and still no money bitcoins returned. Been waiting for over 3 days. So here nothing is solved from the problematic recent transactions that are stucked.

Good news: I did another test transaction, even if I cannot afford it but had to do it to test 0.0001 amount. It seems like new version (2.8.2) has valid feature of ''Use Dynamic Fees'' located in Preferences. I still had to wait a lot but this time the waiting period was acceptable and I agree with it. So after waiting for particular time period (around 90 min), the transaction was successfully processed. Here I owe my ''thank you'' to kolloh, so thank you very much for your reply kolloh. But what does ''Unconfirmed parent'' actually mean? Found the explanation on the link below. I sent secondary transaction AFTER updating Electrum and it wasn't started to be processed but was titled as Unconfirmed Parent immediately. Now I am starting to get worried that it will turn to problematic transaction again. Will keep on waiting few more minutes.

https://forum.bitcoin.com/technical-support/unconfirmed-parent-t18275.html

However the content on the link is not helpful. New transaction (second) AFTER upgrade shouldn't have such problem. First went through fine.

Hopefully someone could still help with first problem (''bad news''). Cannot watch those transactions forever  Sad

I tried the following too: menu Tools\Preferences\Transaction tab\tick option Dynamic Fees

What other amount of fees should be used? Probably in Tools\Preferences\Transaction tab\Transactions fee per kb in unit btc / kb

I know my Electrum is outdated but this shouldn't be the reason for problem.

I woke up at like 4am today to start my work with solving above described error in my first post and 5 questions in my previous post. It is very very very important that this is solved immediately. Currently transactions are still pending. If someone could please provide me solution what to do. I really need it very urgently.

Thank you for reply. How much BTC is 19.38 satoshis per byte? Or I will ask in better way: how much BTC is 270 satoshis per byte? I ask this so i know how much BTC will be paid from my balance for fee. Please clearly define in your answer if you are referring to 19.38 or 270.

Also i haven't been changing those fees and it worked well in the past. How/where can I change quantity of those satoshis per byte? I am using Electrum.

I asked two different questions. If you don't mind, may I also ask third and fourth and fifth one please:

3. Can satoshis per byte be changed for already executed transactions?
4. Can I manually cancel transactions that are pending for too long? I need to pay urgently and those ''pending'' statuses are very annoying.
5. When or approximately when will be (IF) those pending transactions gone and money refunded?

I would also like to add the following information in case if needed for any answer i am asking for: In Tools\Preferences, I have ''Transaction fee per kb: 0 btc/kb'' (warning: unit in btc/kb and not satoshis per byte) but i don't know if this is ''miners fee''.

I tried the following too: menu Tools\Preferences\Transaction tab\tick option Dynamic Fees

Very Urgent - PENDING transaction for days

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone can please assist me what is wrong with two pending transactions, the following ones:

https://blockchain.info/tx/0e2dc49899a94d4e57f994c302c7c78fb19c262e4fcf9cff3e4b2475375bd41f
https://blockchain.info/tx/b30644ecf003e794b43b4829460a9eb1d4c5d8bc959cded395874b1e033729e2

Both are pending for few days and I urgently need to be able to continue sending payments. Actually the service I paid for, for those two transactions, is not needed anymore so I would even prefer to get this back. However I did the third transaction for minimum possible amount (why minimum? obviously to test only so any larger lose can be avoided) and again, says pending.

What could i do? Thank you.
