Issues with Local and Unconfirmed Transactions

Hey everyone, I've been getting these tiny Bitcoin payments in my trust wallet almost daily for a while now. But for the past week or so, the confirmations have completely stalled. I can't adjust the fees myself, and they seem really low. Now I see some of these transactions marked as local instead of unconfirmed when I check Electrum.

You're dealing with low fees, man. They've been stuck for a bit because of that. The highest fee you mentioned was around 27 sats, right? Check out mempool.space to get fee estimates that might help your transactions get confirmed faster. Use the RBF option to tweak your fee for better chances.

Ever thought about using an accelerator? This place I found called ViaBTC offers a free service for that. Might speed things up for you.

By ‘local,’ I mean those transactions are stored on your wallet but aren't on the network’s mempool. If you switch to a different server, those could pop up as unconfirmed again.

Nah, I don’t think that's right. The OP’s the receiver in all those transactions.

Been looking into this since the congestion hit. You can definitely help speed up your transactions. First up, use Replace-by-Fee (RBF) if it was on before you sent anything. It lets you boost the fee afterward. Also, some folks suggest using an online service to assist.

Check my thread about consolidating small inputs. You dug yourself a hole with those tiny dust inputs in your wallet. High fees mean those don't even make sense to send anymore. Honestly, just wait until fees drop, then consolidate.

For sure. Those transactions shouldn’t have been sent with such low fees. And withdrawing such small amounts is just asking for trouble.

That’s a red flag right there. Using Electrum means you risk exposing your seed phrase to multiple wallets.

Anyone mentioned how bad this is? If you leave those transactions like that, there’s no telling if they'll ever get confirmed.

Truth. If they're above 18 sats/byte, try ViaBTC. They open 100 spots every hour for free.

Those local transactions haven’t hit the network yet. Be careful about clicking the wrong save button. You can right-click and remove them.

Wow, you really made a bunch of unconfirmed transactions? That's rough. The recommended fee has skyrocketed, yet your transactions are all set at 15 to 40 sats, which is way too low.

Use ViaBTC's accelerator for your unconfirmed ones, except for the local stuff. It could help.

RBF is for the sender, though, and OP is just receiving here. CPFP could work, but if the amounts are small, you’re better off waiting.

That’s misleading this platform just reshuffles transactions. No real change unless the fee drops.

Exactly. ViaBTC’s a legit TX accelerator; they have criteria to actually speed things up.

If Electrum shows unconfirmed parents, then you're in trouble. But for OP's transactions, that’s not the case.

True. The server OP used might have dropped those transactions or connected to a node that didn’t.

You can find the ordinal number for your transaction in Electrum, but it can change as new transactions pile up.
