Transaction Stuck? Need Advice on Fees

Hey everyone... I sent some coins to another wallet and wow, the fees were insane. Like almost $11. I used a tool on TW to cut it down, but now it's been pending for over 11 hours. Tried using a BIAbtc accelerator but got told my gas fee is too low for confirmation. Any ideas?

So, you’re saying gas fee? This is Bitcoin, dude, it’s called transaction fee, not gas fee. Check out mempool for the rates.

Wait, gas fee? You mean you sending ETH or tokens? Bitcoin’s all about fee rates, man. What wallet you using? If you control it, RBF could help but if it’s not flagged, maybe try CPFP?

Are you really sure you’re using Bitcoin? You keep saying gas... Just stick to sat/vb like everyone else, bud. If you’ve got 195vB that's not too bad for CPFP.

TW doesn’t allow RBF; that’s pretty much a fact. You should check this thread here.

I’m gonna see how to do CPFP on the Electrum wallet, though I didn’t mean to call it gas fee, my bad. But yeah, I control the wallet; just not sure how to set up CPFP.

If you have full control, definitely look into broadcasting from a node that supports RBF. I still think CPFP is the way to go since you’re stuck.

You might still be able to replace your transaction with full RBF on certain nodes. But CPFP is the easier path at this point.

So, just don’t use TW again, wait 14 days, and avoid those sketchy accelerators. They just spam the mempool anyway.

What fee did you set when you sent the coins? You know if it's under the purging limit, it’ll get dropped, right? Just import your wallet into Electrum.

That viabtc tool is legit. Most aren’t, though. You really should get a Trezor, they allow RBF and make life easier.

Man, just run Bitcoin core with full RBF if you have the node. That’s really the best way, don’t you think? You didn’t mention full control of your wallet earlier.

It’s not complex; listen. If you sent 0.5 BTC and are supposed to get 0.5 back, then if you control that wallet you can use CPFP.

Yeah, disappeared into the void... Tried Electrum, imported my seed, but balances zero still. Nodes are all fluctuating. How does that even happen?

I've got a pending on Exodus for five days... Can I still CPFP if I import to Electrum? Seems like the fee rates are all over the place.

Exodus isn’t the best option. But yeah, you can still CPFP from there. Just make sure the child transaction is set right.

I’m on mobile with Exodus and my balance isn’t showing that pending amount... Is there a desktop issue or what?

Yep, you should see pending parents. That’s probably why your stuff is stuck. Set the right fee for the CPFP based on what you paid already.

You can’t run Electrum on an iPhone, but you want a wallet that handles CPFP? Look at Bluewallet.

Appreciate the help, everyone. Let’s hope I can get this resolved soon!
