i dont understand one thing why my tx-2 and tx-3 are waiting coz of tx-1 they paid much more miner fee for tx-2 (0.0011) why still dependent on tx-1.

The structure of your transaction is tx-1 -> tx-2 -> tx-3. This means that Bitcoin spent in tx-3 is from tx-1. If tx-1 isn't confirmed, the balance in the address you sent 0.01BTC to in tx-1 will have 0.01BTC less than current balance which makes tx-2 invalid. When tx-2 is invalid, balance in the address you sent Bitcoin to in tx-2 will be less than current balance which makes tx-3 invalid.

This is the way Bitcoin is. A Bitcoin transaction uses one or more transaction output. Here, if tx-1 is dropped, the transaction output used in tx-2 won't be valid anymore because there is no such transaction output. It will be like sending 0.xxBTC from nothing. How can miners confirm this transaction which sents 0.xx Bitcoin from nothing? It can't. so miners will drop tx-2 and then tx-3.

ok thanks zakir for your help

Your transaction bcc1c6efc8be8b9c68d9a...(tx-2) is using an unconfirmed UTXO from transaction 366a5ab796ccd468c9ea...(tx-1). tx-1 need to be confirmed first but I doubt because it is a zero-fee transaction. Once tx-1 is confirmed, tx-2 and e7d72458a8448bcef3afd...(tx-3) will be confirmed as their priority is good.

P.S. Link to tx-1 is https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/366a5ab796ccd468c9eae69a086658e032d3d9724f6c38576f65ed0876d6628b.

ok thanks Muhammed Zakir,

is there no way i can cancel my unconfirmed transaction now since it will take time now and my tx-2 belongs to a game so if does not get confirms soon i'll lose my btc then. Please let me know if there could be any solution to this.

No. You will have to either wait till miners drop tx-1 or accept it. If tx-1 is confirmed, other two transactions may be confirmed. But if tx-1 is dropped, tx-2 will be invalid and as tx-2 is invalid, tx-3 will be invalid. Therefore, all 3 transactions will be dropped and no, you won't lost any Bitcoin.

Only thing you can do now is hope for the best.
