It means you did not include a high enough fee. Increase it.

I accelerated it with that before.
just wondering why would the size differ soo much. I sent 450 bucks and it was 0.5Kb and i sent 550 bucks and it went 1.5Kb... lol

The size doesn't increase with the amount of BTC but with the amount of data in the transaction, namely inputs and outputs. The more inputs/outputs you have, the bigger your transaction will be.

The transaction have been confirmed now.

Re: Will this transaction ever confirm?

It will but it might take some time. If it takes too long and no one is rebroadcasting it then nodes will start dropping it. Once most nodes drops it the bitcoins should be back to your wallet, allowing you to create and broadcast another transaction with higher fee (if you're using bitcoin core then you'll need to do -zapwallettxes first).

You can also contact a miner to include that transaction in their mined block. Quickseller and macbook-air are known to be able to help with that. There's also ViaBTC's accelerator, but I tried it few minutes ago and it looks like they hit the 1000 per hour limit.
Just keep in mind you'll still need to wait for them to mine a block, don't rely on them too much. Pay the recommended fee instead.

HI guys, I am realy beginner in this area. Can somebody help me with information about all process ? What is better ? Do minning with video card or ASIC ?

No matter what cryptocurrency you're mining, ASIC is always better. Just be aware that ASIC will only work for a specific algorithm. SHA256 ASICs only works for SHA256 coins such as bitcoin but it won't work for Litecoin or Ethereum.

Which is most profitably - bitcoins or other crypto currency.

There are hundreds of "other crypto currency". You'll have to be a little more specific.

What wallet are you using? Can you post the txid? If you can't do CPFP like described above (too small amount transferred, perhaps) then you can attempt to double spend the transaction after it gets dropped by most nodes (which should happen after 3 days unless you're rebroadcasting it).

The fee should depend on the size of your transactions btw. Not the amount of btc.

Aha i see!

Well i managed to do that. I sent the equivalent of 8 euros to my wallet with that 1J adress.
So now it says +9,5etc mBtc unconfirmed. Do i need to do something to confirm the transfer?

Once i have that BC in the wallet how do i do an actual payment online. Like i need to buy something for equivalent of 5 euros and i already tried i get a payment key i imagine i have to go to Send and fill in the code + correct amoun in microBitcoin? (which is 1btc = 1000 mbtc??)

Edit: right i see the confirmation was on the side of bitmymoney. The 9,5etc MBtc is in my account. So now for the payment. Any advice do i have to do what i described above?

As long as you're using enough fee, the transaction should be confirmed in less than an hour.

When you want to buy or pay for something online using BTC you'll be given an address to send your BTC to. You'll need to copy that address and paste it to the "Send" tab. From there you can specify the amount you wish to send.
After you've done all that just click "Send", or "Preview" if you want to make sure you did everything correctly then "Sign" and "Broadcast".

Now since you're still new I'd suggest you to use the dynamic fee feature. To use it just go to Tools > Preferences and check "Use dynamic fees". When you're sending you'll want to leave the slider at the middle, or you can move it to the right if you want a faster confirmation time (you'll have to pay more fee but it's not a lot).

Re: transaction stucks / no confirmation because of low fee
by

The transaction have been mined by ViaBTC.

You should never use low fee if you don't want to wait a long time for confirmation, but if this happens again you can always use https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to make ViaBTC mine the tx in their next block. Just don't rely on ViaBTC or any specific pools too much because you'll still need to wait few hours for them to mine a block sometimes.

Total noob. First time i use this.

So i bought Bitcoin for 10 euros at bitmymoney.
I got the electrum wallet since it says its the most secure.
I opened a default wallet with the words and password.
Now i read FAQs both on the bitmymoney and electrum sites but nowhere does it specify how i am supposed to move my bitcoin to the wallet.
It gives me a long code starting with 1N etc etc which it says i am supposed to enter in my wallet. But where?
'Receive' seems most logical but there is a code starting with 1J already and i cant delete / adjust that no matter what i do.
I checked all options but cant find 'receive'. Only 'send' but i figure i should be receiving.

Anyone knows where i can do this? As far as i understand it as soon as i have this Bitcoin in my wallet i can do a payment with it (using the Send tab??)

Thanks.

To transfer bitcoins you need an address to transfer the bitcoins to. They're the ones that begins with number "1" under the "Receiving" tab in electrum. You can also find more of them under the "Addresses" tab (press CTRL+A if you don't see it).

What wallet are you using? You should be able to send again with higher fee now.

Or if you want to rebroadcast it to the network, just copy this and submit it to https://blockchain.info/pushtx .

Code:
0100000001e07cf1a4b3065f0d05e7d0691e0898b4204a1a266697e7aa579c3d9a15ae49d1010000006a4730440220787897aa26293682de2056031071ebae784d18644b0d50acd43d99e112a71573022012582c6b328e5328b09c5beb7662d73b3465851e2291c9cb364cc20704e9976301210338d11a471fcd2d63ff8dbb2d39e09efc1c12d62da383a4dab5d8fbf04c3c69d7ffffffff02df1c0100000000001976a914ce5082afde4408b3303c2d2ad6e387dafd706db988ac79188500000000001976a9148d857f20b8a0b2f4f8f24fc145bada1fd418a98288ac00000000

Can someone send me 0.24 and use a fee of .002

I will pay back the .25 total once this is confirmed

Thanks

Just PM Quickseller or macbook-air to push your tx to F2pool so it will confirm the next time they mine a block. You probably won't have to pay 0.01 for it.

First one is for .027, so is that the one that's holding the rest up?  Will each one in succession have this problem as well or will they all confirm once the first .027 send confirms?
Probably. They all have the same fairly low fee so not all of them will confirm at the same time.

Edit: Some but not all of your transactions have confirmed.

Actually all of them already confirmed in block 449830 mined by ViaBTC.

Some block explorers' connected nodes are out of sync, looks like.

My mistake then. I thought the original transaction was taken directly from LocalBitcoins. If it was from the blockchain wallet, you should look into that instead.

OK, so basically I just sent from my blockchain wallet and it did something I haven't seen before... it kept sending the bitcoin from address to address even though i was divvying out the original .225 i had received.

Since all of those are using the same fee, tx #2 to #5 might still have to wait after the first one is confirmed.
If you want them all to confirm all at once you'll have to push all of them to the accelerator or ask QS/macbook-air to push all of them.

OK yes, because I'm using a blockchain wallet.

I just entered all of the tx id's into https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

I also PM'd a couple people who could help get a confirm for a bounty.  How do I get a miner to include this in a block asap?  Willing to pay for it.  

I will look into getting LocalBitcoins to work but the initial deposit has already confirmed 100+ times that went from LocalBTC to my Blockchain browser wallet.  So I don't understand how this happened.

If you already PM'd those 2 users then you'll just need to wait for their replies. They will add your transaction to F2pool (probably will ask for a small fee).

There's no problem with LocalBitcoins. Just blockchain.info's usual 65 satoshi / byte fee which appears to be their maximum rate (still not sure but happens frequently).

Hey poeple,

Sorry for being a bother because I know this has been asked a billion times.

So I have 2 transactions stuck as unconfirmed. one of them with a normal fee and the other with a 150% dynamic fee. Is there any other way to speed up the process of confirmation or do i need to sit it out?


The offenders:

https://blockchain.info/tx/ef05fa3faa988087452e3e87b815ab481c414d814b8f9b06f7e0237cf6cf9869

https://blockchain.info/tx/6d478ae8d05526a9ff71a2ba5b9d96519f0eaf7d13a01184ad3bdd410ef03ff9

I really need them to hurry up. So any help, advice would be awesome!

Both have the same fee rate of 50 satoshi per byte. There's no 150% dynamic fee as far as I know. The slider is more of a low-high thing and if you pick the middle it means you're sending with medium fee. Also dynamic fee translate to normal fee if you're offline or haven't synced with the server, and with normal fee middle slider = 50 satoshi per byte which would explain your situation.


You can try submiting the transaction to this site. But they're not very fast so it might take some hours before your transaction is confirmed.
Or you can contact Quickseller or macbook-air. They are able to push your transaction to F2pool, which mines more blocks per hour average than the pool I linked above.

If it's unconfirmed because of low fees then you'll just have to wait. Submitting the transaction ID to this site might make it faster. Or contact some miners to include the transaction in their block.

It means you're trying to broadcast a transaction that conflicts with another transaction in your server's mempool.
Looks to me that you're trying to increase the fee from 0.00012 to 0.0002 without using RBF, is that correct? You can't do that without waiting for the first transaction to get dropped by the nodes.

Edit:
It appears the transaction you posted was included in a block that got orphaned.

Try switching servers manually and send again.
Same error do you have any idea to remove the double spend or do i need to wait more hours for the result of double spend.
Planning to increase the fee just to increase the chance to sent my transaction and i hope that the result  of double spend transaction will be done soon..

Then just wait for it to be confirmed. You can always submit the transaction to this site to make it faster.

BTW there's no double spend here. I don't know why bc.i is showing that message but that transaction doesn't have any conflicting transaction currently.
