My transaction ID is 27c69fe601bbdd09ead443496f0ae7364b50834312c57e4b1d36d288346d55da. It's for $180 and I’m desperate. If anyone helps me get it through, I’ll send them $18. Been waiting forever!

What address are you sending to? Is it a centralized exchange or a wallet you control? If you have access to the private key, you might try CPFP.

With a fee of just 9 sat/vbyte, good luck getting that processed. Looks like your wallet doesn’t support RBF either. You should check if you can import the private key into a wallet like Electrum.

You could try the ViaBTC accelerator, but not sure if it’s free or what the cost is. Your transaction size matters too.

Before sending, always check mempool fees. Right now, the low priority fee is around 13 sat/vbyte. Yours is too low for miners to care.

Actually, there’s also Full RBF, but it depends on the wallet software you used. Bitcoin Core 24.0 might change things.

I’ve never waited this long on a transaction. Usually, you just wait it out. Most nodes drop them after about 14 days.

Yeah, ViaBTC won’t take your fee. It’s too small. You need at least 11 sat/byte. Your fee is just not enough.

Thanks, everyone. I’m using Cash App. I just want to get my pending transaction confirmed. Appreciate any help!

That’s not gonna work. No way to use ViaBTC’s free service if your transaction is larger than 500 bytes. You can't do CPFP either since Cash App is custodial.

There's a good chance your transaction will drop off in a few days, especially since it’s been about 12 days now. Just make sure to use a higher fee next time.

Nope, ViaBTC has a strict size limit. Your transaction is too big for their free accelerator.

Did you reach out to Cash App support? Sometimes they can cancel unconfirmed transactions, but not always.

But Cash App is the receiver, not the sender. The sender has to cancel it by replacing the transaction.

I think your transaction just got confirmed. You might want to check again.

Looks like Cash App might have rebroadcasted it. But honestly, waiting is usually better.

I had a similar issue before. It takes time, but it usually clears up eventually.

Yeah, fees on Cash App have been pretty ridiculous lately. I’ve seen complaints about this everywhere.

Right? They charge crazy fees depending on network congestion. I think it’s $3 for high priority.
