My Bitcoin Transaction Stuck for Days

I sent some bitcoin to another wallet (blockchain to binance) and it's been almost 3 days... why is it still pending? Normally it takes just a couple of hours. How long do I have to wait? What can I do? Help me out here... thx!

Did you check the fees you paid? If you're unsure, sharing the transaction hash could help us. Not sure how blockchain.com handles fees these days, but you can use mempool.space to check.

Sounds like you might've set a low fee. OmegaScream is right, share your transaction hash so we can see what’s up with the fee. If your wallet supports RBF, you could bump the fee. Check mempool.space for a better idea of what fee you really need.

I used the default fee that blockchain set, it was like 2-3 bucks. Didn't mess with it at all.

We still don't know what that 'default' fee actually was when you sent it. Fees can change based on how busy the network is. $2-3 seems okay but might not have been enough. If you're cool with it, drop your transaction hash so we can check it out.

Here’s the link to your transaction on mempool: https://mempool.space/tx/515de3111c6eda82c9c89e35cf38f736b0e99f5315f4b8733ee92898d7f9c2b0. Looks like the fee might've been a bit low, so you may need to wait longer. You could try a paid accelerator if you're in a rush.

Honestly, just ditch blockchain.com wallet. Import your seed phrase into Electrum and wait it out. If it doesn't clear in 2 weeks, switch servers in Electrum to see if the coins become spendable. You can use the better fee rates too.

Blockchain.com doesn't allow RBF on transactions. What really matters is the fee rate you set, not the dollar amount.

How do I even do that? I'm kinda a newbie at this.

If you do nothing, it could take days or even longer. Sometimes transactions just don’t complete.

Download Electrum, then open it and select "I already have a wallet" to import your seed from blockchain. Once you’ve done that, you can send a new transaction with a higher fee to get it confirmed.

Make sure to download Electrum from the official site. Create a new wallet, select "Standard Wallet" and then "I already have a seed". Select "BIP39 seed" and enter your recovery phrase.

Looks like your transaction got confirmed after all.

OP got lucky. When they created the topic, the fee was pretty low, and I didn't expect quick confirmation. Miners usually ignore low-fee transactions.

You can actually choose your transaction fee in blockchain.com. But honestly, it's way better to move to Electrum for better control over your fees. Just follow the steps to import your wallet.
