A parent transaction (the low fee one) needs to be confirmed before a child transaction (the high fee one) can be confirmed.

Re: Sent a payment 4 days ago and still not confirmed

Does blockchain.info allow you to increase the fee?
If not then you can try import your BTC address private key from Blockchain.info to Electrum ( https://electrum.org/#home )and see if Electrum allows you to increase the fee?
You will need extra BTC in your account / BTC address for the above.
Alternatively you can abandon the transaction in Bitcoin Core wallet but unfortunately you will need to download the Bitcoin blockchain for Core wallet to work and the blockchain is approx 160 GB and increasing.
You could also try asking someone to accelerate your transaction or try yourself as per links in my above post.
You can also find more info here about stuck transaction https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1914800.0

Are you the sender or receiver, if the sender what wallet are you using as you may be able to increase the fee or abandon the transaction and do a double spend with a higher fee, if your are the receiver can you ask the sender to increase the fee?
You fee is 108 Satoshi/byte, as per https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/ confirmation can be between 4-99 blocks, for future reference see at the bottom of https://bitcoinfees.earn.com for the current recommended fees.
There are people advertising here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 to accelerate transactions, beware people say ConfirmTX website is a scam so don`t pay them.
You can try yourself on ViaBTC and Antpool free Accelerators, ViaBTC offer a pay service too and you can also continue to try to broadcast the transaction yourself, google "bitcoin broadcast transaction".
There are some users in this thread who seem to be able to fast track a confirmation of a TX so maybe they will be kind a enough to help you, wont say a name but if you read some of the threads here you will see their name.

The transaction shows as "removed /expired" on https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/8cf13c3a51c9ae898b0950bab9e077891b59840831d13a2e411d8ed0e44918a6 and looks like the BTC has been returned to the 3 sending addresses, do you have control over the 3 sending addresses if not then ask the sender to re-send a new TX with your BTC?

I would say if the one explorer shows as "removed / double spend" then they done something possibly dodgy, ask them to advise you why your BTC is not in your wallet, the fee is not that low 358 satoshi/byte so should have confirmed by now but seems it has not due to the "removed / double spend"?

If they start getting funny with you take to social media to tell of your situation...

Re: Transaction suddenly gone from Blockcypher. Stuck for weeks. Please help.

on 05/01/2018, 23:38:20 UTC
Yesterday i posted about a transaction that looked a bit more promising, but now it is gone from Blockcypher again, which is the link Coinbase gives me.

The transactions have been stuck for three weeks now. What the hell?? Why are they not dropped so I can send it again??

Is there any easy solution to this? I could not figure out the CPFP thing...

I used Bitcoin Core to Coinbase wallet. Afraid I will never see them again. Not very nice for newcomers either, even though i should have understoo the fee was too low. I used the recommended fee via the wallet. Turned out to be 20 sat/byte.. God damnit...


TXID:

8cf13c3a51c9ae898b0950bab9e077891b59840831d13a2e411d8ed0e44918a6

16ec484870fdc320e49b56035e1a625f447c4490606e3a7749ba3919744dff9c

You say you transmitted the 2 TX from your Bitcoin Core wallet, is the wallet still open because the wallet will continue to broadcast as long as it is open?

Re: Abandoning a transaction now making a double spend

No problem, thanks for helping me, can you confirm the formula on how are you getting to 64 satoshi/byte based on 0.001 fee and bytes been 1558?

Code:
1.0 BTC        = 100000000 satoshi
0.1 BTC        =  10000000 satoshi
0.01 BTC       =   1000000 satoshi
0.001 BTC      =    100000 satoshi
0.0001 BTC     =     10000 satoshi
0.00001 BTC    =      1000 satoshi
0.000001 BTC   =       100 satoshi
0.0000001 BTC  =        10 satoshi
0.00000001 BTC =         1 satoshi

So, since 0.001 BTC = 100000 satoshi and you paid a fee of 0.001 BTC for 1558 bytes...

100000 satoshi / 1558 bytes = 64.18 satoshi per byte

Can someone confirm fee calculation is correct for the below?
BTC = 0.03
Bytes = 818
Inputs = 5
Fee = 0.0025
Satoshi/byte = 305.6234 (250 000 satoshi / 818)

How did you work out the satoshi/byte = 128?
I didn't, I failed Shocked
I misread 200000 satoshi for 1558 bytes, but it's 100000 satoshi for 1558 bytes. That means 64 satoshi/byte, which means it will most likely take a lot longer than 24 hours.

How many blocks would it take to confirm if i used a fee of 0.001 for 0.02 BTC (1558 bytes) transaction?
That's 128 satoshi/byte. My Bitcoin Core estimates it'll get confirmed within 24 hours (144 blocks).

It's very difficult to predict what transaction volume will be like in the future.  However, based on this chart:
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#2d

I wouldn't expect anything below 140 satoshi/byte to confirm in 24 hours.

If I wanted a pretty good chance of confirmation in the next 12 to 24 hours, I'd probably pay at least 200 satoshi/byte.

If I wanted it to confirm for certain in the next hour, I'd probably be paying a fee of 500 satoshi/byte.

If transaction volume drops off enough overnight tonight, then it is possible that your transaction might be able to confirm, but if the transaction volume continues to grow (or only drops slightly), then you may find yourself waiting for several days for transaction volume to eventually drop off enough.

Thanks

Can someone confirm if i am ok to double spend only part of my initial unconfirmed transaction
Yes. The moment you get a confirmation transfering one of the inputs to another address, the original transaction is no longer possible.

Can someone confirm if i am ok to double spend only part of my initial unconfirmed transaction which is now a abandoned transaction in my Bitcoin core Knots wallet?

Unconfirmed transaction for 0.03 BTC which is now abandoned which consisted of:
80 inputs over 5 addresses = 11865 bytes
Address A - 6 inputs  
Address B - 70 inputs
Address C - 1 input
Address D - 2 inputs
Address E - 1 input

Want to Double spend for 0.02 BTC from the above unconfirmed transaction which will now consist of:
10 inputs over 4 addresses =1558 bytes
Address A - 6 inputs  
Address C - 1 inputs
Address D - 2 inputs
Address E - 1 inputs

How many blocks would it take to confirm if i used a fee of 0.001 for 0.02 BTC (1558 bytes) transaction?

if there is an unconfirmed transaction on the blockchain because it has been abandoned in my wallet?

There will NEVER be an "unconfirmed" transaction "on the blockchain".

The definition of the word "confirmed" is "a transaction that is on the blockchain".  So, if the transaction is on the blockchain then it is confirmed.

The definition of the word "unconfirmed" is "a valid transaction that is not yet on the blockchain".  So it the transaction is "unconfirmed" then it is not yet on the blockchain.

Thanks Danny

Abandon transaction steps
1 - Delete mempool file from bitcoin code directory
2 - Start bitcoin with -walletboradcast=0
3 - Once bitcoin started i right-click transaction and and i choose abandon transaction
4 - Turn wallet off and restart
You have a typo in "walletbroadcast", it won't work like this.
I'm not sure what you're asking here, have you tested these 4 steps already?

At current fees, you'd need to use your entire balance as fee to get it confirmed. My guess is you have about 50 inputs, most of them aren't worth the fee required to send them now.

After you've abandoned this transaction, my advice would be to Enable coin control features (under Settings > Options > Wallet), and use only your largest inputs. Anything under 0.001BTC isn't worth the fee at the moment. Keep them, and use them only if fees ever go down in the future.

Hi LoyceV, thanks for replying,
Sorry typo my fault, I have 80 inputs and are majority are payments from 2 cloud mining companies back few years that i forgot about, my concern was my wallet trying to re-broadcast the abandoned transaction as the transaction will still be visible on the blockchain, i guess my wallet does not care if there is an unconfirmed transaction on the blockchain because it has been abandoned in my wallet?

Hi

Hoping someone can assist me, I have the below transaction which is unconfirmed, have tried broadcasting numerous times and others have too and accelerating it with no success and i understand it may never be confirmed due to the size vs fee, my questions are, if i abandon the transaction as per below steps and when my wallet (Bitcoin core Knots 0.15.1) restarts again as normal without the step 2 command so my wallet is broadcasting again that when my wallet re-syncs with the block chain the unconfirmed transaction will not re-appear in my wallet and that my wallet will not try to re-send the transaction again?

I don`t wish to advise my TX ID as i want to stop trying to broadcast it, i don`t wish to try to re-send with higher fee either i just want the BTC returned to my wallet, i understand this may take some time until all the nodes drop my TX from their mempools.

Thanks in advance
Additionally, you could use -zapwallettxes  in your bitcoin.conf, or cmd see  https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/45988/how-do-you-apply-zapwallettxes-on-windows
which basically removes all unconfirmed/stuck transactions from your bitcoin-core gui, (+ your own "mempool"), Although you still need to wait untill all the other nodes drop your transaction aswell..
Thanks AdolfinWolf will try that if my 4 steps does not work.

Can anyone offer some advice, on blockchain.info explorer my TX id 8822b19fe21b0edd61dc7f0061f8d34afc39ecfd3b3bba09fe381c1105859de1 is showing "lock time 501872", does that mean my transaction will not disappear from the mempool as i am hoping my TX will dissappear and my BTC will be returned to me?

Base on you tx information the sender pay the fee too low ~ $13.5.  Because the tx had 11865 bites  @ 8.436 satoshi/B, which is quite low for 0.3 btc

Who sent this transaction ?  The reason I'm asking is because I am in the same boat as you are....my exchange CEX.io really screwed me because they paid 22 Satoshi/B with the transaction size of 40,000 bites...I notice that your transaction had lots of inputs like mine...which made it expensive to transact...

The good news is the unconfirmed transaction backlog is coming down...but it is still around at least around 70 Satoshi/B to make the cut...

What ever you do don't pay the accelate services providers, as most of them are scam...especially "confirmTX"

The only  website that I know is legitimate - see link below.

 But try free service first - most like won't work because too many people are using it.  In fact by telling you this information, you become my competitor 😂

If free service doesn't work, you could then try the paid service - it most likely will be expensive...

Good luck and let me know - you and I are currently in the same boat, so if you can figure out a cheaper way to solve your problem, please share with me.

Cheers,

Hi, i sent the transaction, i sent 0.03 BTC and thought the 0.001 BTC fee would be sufficient but did not realize the 11865 bytes would be a issue, noob move on my part.
Lots of inputs are from cloud mining payments
Yes i also been trying ViaBTC accelerator but it is always busy, best of luck to you in getting you TX confirmed.

If anyone can advise what "lock time 501872" on blockchain.info explorer means that would be appreciated?
