Transaction Stuck for Days with Average Fee

My transaction has been stuck for four days with a 35 sat fee. Never had this happen before. Any advice?

Looks like you've got a long chain of transactions. Probably due to CPFP. Your effective fee seems low. If you control the private key, consider RBF on the first transaction to make the others invalid. Might help you avoid high fees.

Check it out on mempool.space. You’ll see unconfirmed parent transactions when you click on the red circles. It's showing your effective fee is just 18.3 sat/vB because of the chain.

Thanks for the tips. But unfortunately, I can't bump the fee... what else can I do besides waiting?

You could try ViaBTC or Binance to include it in their next block. But wow, those fees are high. Waiting it is, I guess. I wish everyone would stop using that blockchain service. It’s so clunky compared to mempool.

Which wallet are you using? Is it noncustodial? If it is, you can import your seed into Electrum to adjust the fees. A good wallet should let you bump the fee.

Remember when blockchain explorer was the go-to? Those days are gone. I just wanted to guide you through the steps. Mempool.space makes this so much simpler.

Paid accelerators are overpriced. Better to just invalidate your transaction by boosting the parent’s fees. Or send new coins to all the recipients with a higher fee to speed things up.

You might be in for a long wait since your fee is low. Bitcoin fees have been soaring lately. If you’re using Trust Wallet, I had that issue too. Check mempool for suggested fees during the weekends.

Here’s a service to look at: mempool.jhoenicke.de. Check the weight size. If you pay under 1 vMB, it should clear up quickly.

Actually, your effective fee is only 18.3 sat/vByte, not 35. You’ll be waiting longer. There aren’t many transactions paying above 30 sat/vByte at the moment.

Is this transaction time sensitive? Does it need to confirm soon? If not, just chill and wait. Especially if you're sending coins to yourself.

Can you share more details about the transaction? Why can't you bump the fee? Are you the sender? What wallet did you use?

This kinda sounds like a side hustle for a big mining pool. Imagine getting a lot of tiny payments for low transaction fees.

Not sure I’d trust that site recommended earlier. Smells fishy to me. Just launched and already has a bad rep.

I don’t think it’s legit either. The design’s not great, and there’s no info on which pool they use for acceleration.

Totally a scam. I’ve seen too many like that. If they were legit, there’d be more buzz about them on the forum.

For sure, it’s a scam. Their fees are ridiculous. Just rebroadcasting transactions and claiming it’s an acceleration service.

Yup, scam site for sure. Their priority fees are way too high for what they offer. Just launched a couple of weeks ago. No thanks.
