No.

That wouldn't really do anything useful, and would be misleading. The user might think a transaction has been dropped and a new one propagated, but in actuality, only their own node knows about the new transaction and it has not been propagated to other nodes since you cannot force other nodes to drop a transaction.

Is it possible to tell your own node to forget the transaction, then connect to your node from electrum, for example, to resend it?

@achow101
You made a mistake with the hyperlink under the The difference between the types of RBF transactions heading. The code isn't right, and it currently shows as [urlhttps://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0125.mediawiki]BIP 125[/url]. Please add "=" in the appropriate place to make it a proper hyperlink: BIP 125

Updated to say that opt in RBF is always on.

Done. Updated that section in general to point to the services rather than to specific people.

Some nodes support full rbf if I am not mistaken because some transactions with full rbf titles popped up on mempool.space when I was checking them for average transaction fees. Btw people who are looking for solutions, usually receive money from exchanges, casinos or other third parties that don't support rbf and don't accelerate transactions or give you private keys. That's why so many people are looking for transaction accelerators.

I'm so sorry, I have been promoting you for years as the person who has some access to f2pool and can accelerate bitcoin transactions I couldn't imagine if my marketing was so successful.

Can my name please be removed from the OP? I have not been able to help with stuck transactions for years and still receive messages asking for help

This content still holds true for a older version  of Electrum  wallet and it might be needed by Users of older versions of Electrum.
However, the new Version  now supports an Automatic RBF inclusion for every transaction made so there's always a chance to replace or simply Bump transaction fee if the need arises for all Electrum Wallet Users

This is not the place to ask for people to tip you for using a free accelerator service or to ask about accelerating transactions. Use a thread if you have a problem with that. All posts asking for help and offering the same accelerator service will be deleted.

The whole point of the post at the beginning of this thread is for you to be able to do this yourself:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-about-stuck-transactions-and-what-you-can-do-to-fix-them-1802212

Your transaction has 45 sat/byte fee which is kind of on the low side.  Check out the "Fee per byte" field:

You might consider increasing the fee using the suggestions here:
https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/
You can replace the transaction using the double-spend method.

You can also request a miner to give your transaction priority which is easy, doesn't cost anything and you can do it yourself.  Nobody in this thread has magical powers to do this, in spite of appearances.

My transaction has been stuck for 4 days....I transferred from one exchange to another, paid the fee that the exchanged asked me to paid.

anyone please help PLEASE!

Thanks a lot

Someone sent me 0.1 BTC and it hasn’t arrive for almost a week now
I received it the first time and then he sent it me again but it’s not showing up in blockchain and there’s no sign or record of it pending on my Coinbase address. He sent me 0.1 for the first time and it arrived and he sent it me 0.1 again to the same address but it didn't arrive
I did try and contact coinbase but no reply Can someone tell me what’s going on?
Bare in mind, the first time he sent me, the transaction ID is invalid but it still got sent to my coinbase address.  
So how is both transaction ID isnt showing up but the first BTC he sent me arrived to my coinbase account but the transaction ID shows no history.  Also when he sent it to me, we facetime each other just to make sure I am seeing him sending it to me.
He was using Bitcoin - QT and 50 weeks behind.  So im not sure if its the program or coinbase.

Can someone please help me out.

thanks

I bought a couple of bitcoin in 2012 where they languished on my successive Mac Book Pros in a Bitcoin-QT v0.6.2.2 wallet.  I now realise they are worth - ahem - something!  The wallet still fires up even though it is still calls itself a beta wallet and so I thought I would first try to send my lovely bitcoin to a new and glossy Exodus wallet.

Now being completely new to this I got my receive address for my Exodus Wallet and tried sending 0.1 BTC to my Exodus wallet. Eventually (maybe 5 hours later) it showed it had arrived but with zero confirmations. This first transaction still shows with 0.1 BTC "Pending" in the Exodus Wallet (sent Friday Dec 1st 10.04.10 PM).

I realised I had not included any fee on this first send but  I didn't see anything I could do about that.

Anyway I then sent the balance of BTC in my Bitcoin-QT wallet, but this time included a 0.0004 BTC fee to the same address.  But, 34 hours later it does not even show it having arrived at the Exodus wallet.

Now I really do not know what to do.  I assume if I leave my Bitcoin-QT wallet up and running it will keep broadcasting the transactions and so they may never disappear. So I have quit the wallet.  But suppose I leave it for a few days. If I fire up the wallet then I assume it will broadcast again and I will be back in the same situation?  I could start it up offline and restore from a backup I did just prior to sending the first transaction - I guess that would cut out the re-broadcasts.  Would that be the thing to do?

Sorry - I feel like a complete dufus but some seriously expert advice on how best to get back to the status quo anti with my lovely bitcoins in either the old wallet or better still my new flashy Exodus one, would be hugely appreciated!!!!

THIS QUESTION WAS ANSWERED ON https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/64041/sending-bitcoin-from-bitcoin-qt-v0-6-2-2-wallet FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A SIMILAR ISSUE.  ALL IS NOW RESOLVED WITH THE BITCOIN RESTORED TO A NEW BITCOIN CORE WALLET.  MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO PROVIDED EXPERT ASSISTANCE THERE.

It used to be that if you included 1 Sat / Byte there was a pretty good chance of eventually getting confirmed, if you didn't mind waiting several days.  But now, after segwit, what is the minimum fee to stick around in the pool long enough to eventually get confirmed?  Is it 1 Sat / Byte or 1 Sat / Weight Unit?  Should we all be talking fees in terms of weight units nowadays?  How is the mempool minimum transaction fee coded in a post-segwit world?

Hey I stayed up almost all night reading up and watching youtube vids and I fixed it myself!   Because I've sent it via bitcoin core I was able to abandon the stuck transactions and resend one trans again with much higher fee (300 satoshis/byte) but had an error something to do with duplicate in the mempool so I just left it and went to sleep. This morning when I woke up it went through right away and confirmed!

I was able to do this because of OP's helpful information! Thank you OP!!

Edit: I send my second trans with 280 satoshis/byte fee and it got confirmed in 6min! 

I tried confirmtx about 10 hours ago and haven't had any luck with that either. Afterburner's app said it couldn't confirm my tx and then gave me a website address that didn't work to explain why.

I feel like my btc is just going to sit in the queue forever. This is a real bummer. 

cool, I also need to try the Afterburner app too, if nothing else works...

I will keep you posted for sure, In the meantime I've also posted on confirmtx's thread to see if they'd reply there

mason -- yeah, I'd like to increase the transaction fee, but my wallet won't let me do CFFP. running out of ideas here. I also heard that transactions eventually drop out of the mempool, but mine has been sitting there for a week, so I'm not buying that either.

keep me posted if the people who run that website ever wake up! ha.

Hey ya so its still not confirmed and he/she also stopped replying. I'll just assuming the person is asleep  but for sure its not within the time frame quoted. I'm just a bit stuck now not sure what else I can do than to wait and hope for it to get confirmed or gets rejected (no idea how long that takes either). I'm too scared to do the double spend thing so I can only wait. 

mason -- that sucks. hopefully it's just taking a little longer than they thought. can you let me know what happens? I'm really hoping it's the answer to my problem, ha.
