You can still push the first transaction: fdd0183cd66ed4aa96b6f0658d84c149a753641b63d7eb19cb7f70ed3c2fbf92 via https://pushtx.btc.com/ by paying them a fee of $21.75 (if it's feasible for you and it's urgent) and this way, both your transactions will confirm. Else, you will need to wait for the first transaction to be dropped from your network and try again sending just 0.14028 BTC to the address.


You pay pay btc.com with your VISA card, so that gets round your problem of having no confirmed bitcoins left to pay quickseller or macbook-air.

You insert your transaction and then click 'ESTIMATE PRICE', then you can pay with your VISA card so you can spend your bitcoin, the irony is unbelievable...

Quickseller was really nice and pushed my transaction without paying him upfront without questions (I'll pay him once the transaction confirms).
So, if I understood everything correctly then it's still possible that I have lost my money and my bitcoins will remain stuck in the middle of nowhere!? I'm not panicking but I'd like to know the worst case scenario! Is there any way to be able to get my bitcoins back?


No, it's not possible you have lost your money. Even if your transaction never confirms it doesn't get lost, the network eventually forgets unconfirmed transactions, and your Bitcoins reappear in the address you sent them from.

If quickseller's agreed to push your transaction I don't think you'll have long to wait for a confirmation. He got ahmedjadoon's transaction confirmed very quickly. You will only have a long wait if F2pool doesn't mine a block for hours.

I faced a similar issue a few days back transaction not getting confirmed due to low fee but user "QuickSeller" got my transaction confirmed in minutes when I sent him 0.0001 BTC. He has access to some pool . PM him.

Quickseller will push your transaction using F2pool, so when it mines another block your transaction will probably get confirmed. You can see the times it mined its latest blocks here.

So basically the best I can do is to add the receiving address to my blockchain.info account's watchlist and wait till I get the notification email.

Thank you for the response! The transaction accelerator says that "Transaction does not exist"
I copied the correct ID, that's not the issue.

Is it possible that it will never get confirmed? I would really love to double spend it but how? I contacted the guy and he got me back instantly but I'm not sure how can I pay him when I can't even move my bitcoins!?

Unconfirmed transaction with large (301.786 sat/B) fee!

I'm new to bitcoins so I'm sure I did something wrong.

I have transferred a tiny amount of bitcoins from an address to my Electrum wallet. I have entered the private key of my address and Electrum somehow imported the bitcoins to the new address which was generated by Electrum. This transaction is still unconfirmed. I read a couple of articles and forums about what should I do when this happens and somewhere I read that I should send more bitcoin to my new Electrum address, then I should send all of them to another address. I also read that I could try to re-send (double spend) my bitcoins with coinb.in but it didn't work.

So I tried the other method and sent more bitcoins to my Electrum address, the transfer was successful, then I tried to send all of them to another address and now all of them is unconfirmed. What can I do?
