if you sent it with bitcoin core and have an older backup you can delete wallet.dat and replace it with the backup,after that you'll see the bitcoin again in wallet, atleast this is what worked for me after having a transaction unconfirmed for 3 weeks.After you send another transaction the old one will be dropped.

yes , I'm going to wait about 3 weeks because I dont even want the transaction to go through , I paid with a card for what I needed

Hey, tomorrow its 2 weeks since I tryed to buy something with bitcoin in that time bitcoin almost doubled the price.
Problem is that I paid a really low fee by mistake .Except of paying someone to manualy take my transaction and confirm it , is there anything I can do?I read a lot about this and everyone says if it doesnt go through after a while , transaction will be dropped from memory pool but its 2 weeks already , it feels like will be stuck forever.
Anyone else with similar problem and eventualy the bitcoin came back to their wallet after 2+ weeks?

Like I said I'm aware if I rly want to go through I can pay someone to take it but if it comes back to my wallet I can pay half for the same thing since bitcoin doubled in price.

Any suggestions are wellcome , thanks.

ok I get it , the network is overloaded but why doesnt it drop the transaction after 9 days so I can make another transaction with higher fee

I didn't know much about transactions and fees so I chosed the recommended fee for an 8hour transaction (I have bitcoin core).Now I know the fee is way too low and no miner will take it and honestly I preffer the bitcoin to come back since the price increased like 60%.
I searched on google and people say it should come back within 3 days , others 1 week , I also saw 1-3 weeks somewhere , its 9 days already and still unconfirmed.


I also opened btc core with zapwallettxes , I heard the transaction wont be rebroadcasted and should come back , so far nothing for 2 days.
Can this be stuck forever?I dont mind if I have to wait 3 weeks to come back but I'm a little worried it will stay like this for way more or forever.
Also if the website where I made a payment with btc(I'm not getting what I bought untill transactions is complete) keeps rebroadcasting the transaction automaticaly , does that mean it will stay unconfirmed untill a miner takes it and never go back to my wallet?
