So what's a stuck transaction? It’s like when you send crypto, but it just sits there unconfirmed for way too long. Super annoying, right? People think you haven’t paid them or you might really need that cash fast.
Exactly. Usually, it’s because the fees are too low. But there are other reasons too, like trying to spend from an unconfirmed transaction or having tiny outputs.
Nice info, but I gotta add something. If you’re the sender, you can use CPFP if there’s a change address with enough funds to cover both transactions. Without that, only the receiver can use it.
Lol, thanks for that tip. But you know what's funny? I tried RBF with Electrum and it’s a bit tricky. You can opt into it when you create a transaction, but not everyone knows how.
I think restoring from seed deletes unconfirmed transactions. You could try creating a double spend after restoring. But yeah, the opt-in RBF is a better route.
I’m trying to figure out what happened to my BTC. Sent some, never confirmed, then it bounced back, only to disappear again. Now it’s at a different address with hundreds of confirmations. What gives?
Sounds like a mess. Just to clarify, RBF is basically a double spend attempt. You’re spending inputs that were already used in an unconfirmed transaction.
