seems like the project is dead, no activity on github.
Shame, it was a good idea and so useful these days, with all the growing tx fees

Project is dead and the software is bugged, don't use it, you will lose your btc, see above message.

There is a dangerous bug in Feebooster: the "bumping" CPFP transaction it creates can be wrong, it translates the destination address using P2SH script instead of P2PKH, thus sending everything to a 3... address instead of 1... address as filled in destination field.
Hope this notification can be useful to others.
Hope this notification can be useful to others.
Post the raw transactions, screenshots of what you entered, and the txids of any and all transactions involved (including the one you are bumping and the bumping tx).
Thanks. I tried to PM you but you didnt notice/answer. May I ?
Hello. I used Feebooster as receiver (created raw tx and signed) but it seems that it decoded Hash 160 into the wrong address, not the one I filled in (with version byte of 0x01 for P2PKH) but it sent to the wrong one (version byte of 0x05 for P2SH). No idea how and why that happened.
Funds were sent to a different address (starting with 3) than the one I filed in, and bot have same Hash 160.

Please help me.
I followed all the processes, but after I have my signed transaction text which has to be pasted in the fee booster script, it shows: "Transaction being broadcast. TXID: null". No fee boost happened.
Is it something to do with my Electrum wallet?
I have pasted the modified unsigned transaction text into the sign/verify message window in there, with my current wallet address. It generates the signature (maybe incorrectly
) and then it doesn't work in the script after I paste it and want to send the transaction. It shows that TXID: null message.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey, any bounty campaigns yet? I would love to participate in one!
No, and there never will be.By the way, just for the record. Is it written on Java, am I right?
Yes.

Got project. Will check it out
Ok, this looks fun. A couple quick questions. Once the user is sitting there with the unsigned TX, does the software help them take that the rest of the way and broadcast it or is that the end of the line and the user has to figure the rest?
It will broadcast it for the user.Is the fee the only configurable part, along with the amount and addresses or can a user play with this and fiddle with various smart contract scripting and such.
Only the fee is configurable via the GUI, but if you know what you are doing, you can mess with the raw transaction itself before it is broadcast. The broadcaster doesn't actually check if the transaction was what it was even modifying. It will just broadcast whatever you give it.

Also, I have never had a problem using a wallet to set a fee, but your software sounds like it will make easy work of some of things that we do to experiment and they are normally a pain.

I found the hex thanks to this guy:
Subject line says "from nodes", is that a requirement? blockchain.info returns the raw transaction if you append '?format=hex' to the URL of a transaction, e.g.:
https://blockchain.info/tx/9021b49d445c719106c95d561b9c3fac7bcb3650db67684a9226cd7fa1e1c1a0?format=hex
I have gone into my Trezor and tried to sign the receiving transaction, but do not understand it. This is a really cool tool and I think it's going to take a little bit of time to figure out exactly how to use it.
I signed the the tx with my signature it spit out and tx says NULL. I assume that means I did something wrong. Good opportunity to learn more about bitcoin programming. This can be an extremely useful tool as sometimes fees go up expodentially very fast.
How do you get the raw transaction in Hex format, from a transaction that is unconfirmed, and I didn't make, but appears on http://blockchain.info in a format that allows it to be passed into http://blockchain.info/pushtx when it is dropped from all miners memory pools.

I've found this tool and try to use it as I've send a transaction 2 days ago from Multibit HD and it's still not confirmed.
I'm stuck on the unsigned version of the boosted transaction page. How should I sign this transaction in Multibit HD?
Thank you.

Hello,
anyone got any luck running this on Ubuntu 16.04? I've installed default-jre and default-jdk but now java -jar FeeBooster.jar reports the following:
Error: Could not find or load main class FeeBooster
Am I missing some dependencies? -verbose does not tell much more. Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: Solved!
Hallo!!
Great project, thank you for your contribution to the community.
1. I am trying to add a bigger fee to a tx that I received in Electrum, but when I enter the "Address to pay to" => 32vXwGiGQiLiRpdBNM2BtSC36ciLwwJDYx, it says Error-Invalid Address. This address is an address that belong to the Electrum wallet and will surely have the needed satoshis for the fee. Is it a bug with multisig addresses?
2. From what I understand, the "Address to pay to" should just be filled with an address that belongs to the wallet and has the needed satoshis for the fee. There is no correlation with the unverified tx that I try to resend with bigger fee, right? edit: Or should I enter the output address of the unconfirmed tx? (regarding CPFP )
Edit: this is the tx https://blockchain.info/tx/e4ba20ccaa6d1eeafa49ddb4ae55032c7f6a099a611ddadc240bb4b3bb6cca96
and the error:

What a great idea, I have said this before that there is no need for this infighting on scaling issue, the market will solve its problem. The question I will like to ask is how many daily user does this application have per day
For some reason I can't get past the first window of your program. I paste in the raw hex of my transaction, but nothing happens when I click the next button. I think it is a valid raw transaction because if I alter it at all and then click next an error window pops up that says, "Please enter a valid transaction." But for some reason it won't advance to the next screen with the valid transaction.
It's probably failing to connect to the APIs it uses to calculate the fee and get info about the transaction. Restart it and try again.

Wow, this looks promising man. Thanks for sharing this to us. We all know that more and more people are suffering with the long confirmation time of their bitcoin transfer. This would greatly help them in various ways. Will I be able to use it now? Do I just need to download the file that you provided above and just follow the steps?
Yes. You will need to have Java installed, but the download should work immediately. There are a few bugs and weirdness with the program. I have not had the time to update it or fix issues. 
I signed it with coinb.in
I don't think what I did earlier worked. I'm confused about the 2nd screen when it says choose output to deduct an additional fee from though. Can you explain what that means and how it works?
The transaction fee is the difference between the amount spent by the inputs, and the amount sent to the outputs. In order to increase the transaction fee, you either need to add a new input or reduce an output. What this software does it reduces one of the outputs, which you can choose. By default it chooses the last output.I don't think what I did earlier worked. I'm confused about the 2nd screen when it says choose output to deduct an additional fee from though. Can you explain what that means and how it works?
I only have one output does that matter? Also what would you suggest I do if the recommended fee amount is more than the output amount?
I don't think it matters that you only have one output.
The size of your transction is too big for you to pay the 200 satoshis/byte recommended by bitcoinfees, or even 100 satoshis/byte.
https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
Your transaction's size is 2257 bytes, so if you paid 10 satoshis/byte your total fee would be 0.0002257 BTC (22570 satoshis). You are sending 0.001019 BTC, so you would receive 0.0007933 BTC if you paid a 10 satoshis/byte fee. Bitcoinfees says a 10 satoshis/byte should get your transaction included after another 5 blocks (in about an hour).
If you paid a 50 satoshis/byte fee about half of the Bitcoins you are sending would be used for the fee.

You could try repeatedly pressing your tab key until the focus is on the "set fee" button, then pressing the tab key one more time, then pressing your enter key.
Most software lets you change which button is focused using the tab key, and simulates you pressing that button with your enter key.

I've expanded the window to cover my entire screen and the farthest I can view is what is in my screenshot
Any other suggestions?
Make your desktop into portrait mode (basically turns the desktop sideways to take advantage of the wider monitor) and look at it sideways for a bit to see the button. Otherwise there isn't much else that you can do. I should make it scrollable, but I don't really have time to maintain the software. Any other suggestions?
I haven't been able to use the software to create a new raw transaction because when I enter the stuck raw transition I can't see the button's to proceed on this screen
I've tried adjusting the screen but I can't get the lower part to show
That's quite a large transaction that you have there. You have to make the window as large as possible as JavaFX does not automatically scroll the window apparently when there are too many things on it.I've tried adjusting the screen but I can't get the lower part to show

I will look into the tool source code and will probably use it on our website to properly compute the fees.
This will make our users get their coins faster.
Quick question, the tool will not work if any API is down, maybe you can add a cache feature for 21.co !

Yes, I'm using the latest version of electrum.
I'm not sure what's going on either. I've literally spend 10+ hours trying to figure this out.
I can't withdraw coins I have elsewhere until I figure out how to confirm this transaction
Have you successfully used achow101's software to create a new raw transaction with a higher fee?
If you have then you could use the page below to sign your raw transaction instead of using electrum.
https://coinb.in/#sign
It's always best to use anything like that offline. You can download the files for that page at the link below and run it offline (or in a virtual machine if you want to be extra safe).

If you want to scan the zip file for viruses you can upload it to the page below that will scan it with about 50 different virus scanners.

In my wallet both sign and broadcast are greyed out
I'm not sure if it's an electrum bug or if you did something wrong. The electrum github link below is about a greyed out buttons bug. I thought it was fixed, and I don't have any Bitcoins out of cold storage to test with.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/2113
There was also another bug that made electrum incompatible with coinb.in raw transactions, but again I thought it was fixed.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1811
Are you using the latest version of electrum (2.7.18)?
The screenshots below show you how to load a raw transaction in electrum and sign it.
The sign button is greyed out in the final screenshot because that transaction's already signed.
This is the raw hex of your original stuck transaction.
It's available at this link.

You have to enter the raw transaction, not just the txid. Txids are not supported yet.Ok when I enter the raw transaction. I can select the output but I don't see the next button at the bottom. Too much text maybe?

ok... i actually didnt get a chance to use it -- the transaction in question finally went through on its own, but thanks
for this tool, good to have it just in case we see issues in the future with the mempool.

I am trying this on electrum but no matter what transaction I choose, it always says "transaction unrelated to your wallet"
Decode the raw unsigned transaction and make sure that the details of it are what you expect it to be.hmm it doesnt seem to be. I am taking a raw transaction id -- putting it into your tool and I get an
'unsigned version' of the transaction , but then if i copy that into this tool:
https://blockchain.info/decode-tx
I dont see any inputs or outputs.

Can you tell if it possible to sign raw transaction with mycelium / electrum . Most people are not using bitcoin core
You can sign transactions with Electrum, but I don't think you can do it with Mycelium. You have to use the python console provided by Electrum in order to sign.
Very nice development !

Bump.
Let me see if I got this right, this program is for those who sent a bitcoin but then the fee was too low, so it's not getting added to a block in a reasonable amount of time?
Jane sends 0.01 to Bob but only had a 0.0000001 transaction fee.
Jane uses your program to boost the fee to 0.0002 to get it added to a block faster
Right or do I have it wrong?
Yep. That's exactly what it is for.Jane sends 0.01 to Bob but only had a 0.0000001 transaction fee.

Pretty useful tool, thanks. Also +1 on open sourcing your project. Great contribution to the Bitcoin community.
hello can i pay my extra fees from another wallet ?
where i see address to pay to ( is this the address i would like to pay my fee from ?)
from there i sign my transaction and is good to go ?
As of now, you cannot add the fee from another address. The fee must come from one of the outputs on the transaction you have an issue with. where i see address to pay to ( is this the address i would like to pay my fee from ?)

Correct me if im wrong -
So what you're doing is basically copying the inputs and outputs of a Pending Tx, and making another transaction that will confirm before the first one does?
Close.So what you're doing is basically copying the inputs and outputs of a Pending Tx, and making another transaction that will confirm before the first one does?
There are actually two parts, RBF and CPFP. The RBF part copies the inputs and all but one of the outputs. The last output (which is selected by the user) is slightly modified because the additional fee is deducted from that output.
For CPFP, it actually creates a whole new transaction, because that is how CPFP works. It creates the transaction with one input which points to the user specified output and then has an output to a user specified address.

thanks for all this sir,
unfortunately I can't get my head around this
"you must take this to your own wallet to be signed. Lastly, the signed transaction can be broadcast from the software"
If you didn't already know, Bitcoin transactions use cryptographic signatures, which can only be created by possessing the private key which corresponds to the address you are spending from. So what my program does is it creates the unsigned transaction, which is the transaction right up until it is signed. Most wallets recognize unsigned transactions and will know how to sign them.

Nice.Very helpful if used properly.Have you tested it out with multiple test cases to see if anything goes wrong ?
So you're rebroadcasting a transaction without having to do all of the hassle.
Well it doesn't rebroadcast. It just does one massive broadcast/flood to several hundred nodes in order to get the transaction out as quickly as possible. I suppose I could also add in a thing for rebroadcasting and something on the front page to jump directly to broadcasting too.So you're rebroadcasting a transaction without having to do all of the hassle.
For example I have a unconfirmed transaction with 0 fees which may take forever to get confirmed or eventually get rejected from the mempool ,I can simply use the program add the custom fees and broadcast it again ?
Yes, except you will need to sign the transaction in your wallet, which may require a little advanced knowledge.This sounds like a ery helpful application, I'm glad you took time to create this much needed tool. It finally offers a simple solution to a common problem.
Thanks! I hope that it will help alleviate the unconfirmed transaction problem.

Wow, this seems really promising! I better go try it out later.
Today I am announcing the Bitcoin Transaction Fee Booster.
This is my response to the constant complaints about users who are waiting a long time for confirmations. The program gives the user two options to increase the fee of their unconfirmed transactions, Replace-By-Fee for senders and Child Pays For Parent for receivers. The software will take the raw hex of a transaction, ask the user for some information, and create an unsigned transaction which can be signed outside of the program. Then the signed transaction can be broadcast from the software.
Usage
Using the Fee Booster is very simple and follows a wizard with step by step instructions.
Download the zip file from https://github.com/achow101/FeeBooster/releases. Extract everything inside to the same folder. Double click the FeeBooster.jar file to start the program.
First you enter the raw hex of the transaction and choose whether you sent or received it. Then, if you sent the transaction, you will be brought to a page which asks you to set the increased fee of the RBF transaction and the output to deduct the fee from. If you received, you will be brought to a page to select the output you want to spend from, the address to send to, and the fee for the child transaction. The next page is the unsigned transaction that the software made and you must take this to your own wallet to be signed. Lastly, the signed transaction can be broadcast from the software.
How it works
The program uses https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to calculate the optimal fee for the transaction. It also uses blockcypher.com's api for retrieving some other information for the transaction. To send the transaction, the program uses the BitcoinJ library.
Security
The program, as of now, does not take your private keys. This is a planned feature to allow signing within the program, but currently that does not happen. The software produces an unsigned transaction which can be independently verified to see that it makes the right transaction. It will also display the transaction id of the broadcasted transaction and that can be verified to be the transaction that the user intended. This software is not malicious

Edit: typos
This is my response to the constant complaints about users who are waiting a long time for confirmations. The program gives the user two options to increase the fee of their unconfirmed transactions, Replace-By-Fee for senders and Child Pays For Parent for receivers. The software will take the raw hex of a transaction, ask the user for some information, and create an unsigned transaction which can be signed outside of the program. Then the signed transaction can be broadcast from the software.
Usage
Using the Fee Booster is very simple and follows a wizard with step by step instructions.
Download the zip file from https://github.com/achow101/FeeBooster/releases. Extract everything inside to the same folder. Double click the FeeBooster.jar file to start the program.
First you enter the raw hex of the transaction and choose whether you sent or received it. Then, if you sent the transaction, you will be brought to a page which asks you to set the increased fee of the RBF transaction and the output to deduct the fee from. If you received, you will be brought to a page to select the output you want to spend from, the address to send to, and the fee for the child transaction. The next page is the unsigned transaction that the software made and you must take this to your own wallet to be signed. Lastly, the signed transaction can be broadcast from the software.
