Topic: Can i get some help getting some transactions confirmed (Read 986 times)

There's no need to lose sleep over it. As the sending address is your personal address, the bitcoins will simply go back to your wallet if the network drops it. If bc.i somehow goes weird and not showing your balance, just push the hex tx you saved before.
Besides, rebroadcasting is only useful when nodes have dropped your transaction(s). If your transaction(s) have just been propagated through the network rebroadcasting won't do any good.

Yes im just waiting on the middle transaction to confirm now. Really dont wanna keep rebroadcasting all night but if thats what it takes

The first and the third transaction got confirmed 22 minutes ago, I think the rebroadcast worked for these two transaction.

I suppose I can then, woot.
I shall be confident about it.

Wow I just been through this thread, and I am also going to move my BTC to another wallet.
I have 1084 transactions to move 1.49025614 BTC or $ 977.13

Can I avoid all this by paying the fee that blockchain.info suggests?

Bitcoin is a voluntary system.

Nobody can force you to pay a fee, you voluntarily pay what you want.  You might choose to use a wallet that has a minimum fee, or some set of fee rules, but that's your choice.

Equally, nobody can force a miner (or mining pool) to confirm transactions.  They voluntarily confirm whichever transactions they want.  They might choose mining software that has set rules on transaction selection, but that's their choice.

Since the amount of byte space in a block is limited, it's in a miner's (or pool's) best financial interest to confirm the transactions that pay the highest fee per byte.  If they include a transaction that pays less, then they make less money.  If they include a transaction that pays more, then they make more money for the exact same amount of "work".

If you were doing work, and could choose between being paid "less" for your work, or being paid "more" for your work, which would you choose?


Yes, as part of a voluntary system you certainly can wait for a miner to choose to make less money and confirm your transaction for you out of the charity in their heart, leaving someone else that paid more and was hoping to get a fast confirmation to have to wait a bit longer because the miner decided to be nice to you instead of to the higher paying customer.

This could happen in the next block, or in a few days, or weeks, or years.  Hopefully it will get confirmed soon, but don't be surprised if you are waiting for a very long time.


There is.  If you want someone to do some work for you, pay them to do that work.  Pay them at least as much as the average person in the market is paying for the same thing.  The financial incentive that you provide will act as an enticement to choose to do what you want instead of choosing to do what someone else that is paying less wants.

I wouldnt pay .07 to get confirms ever. To me i feel the fees are high enough on their own and this sort of stuff is what will make btc never become mainstream currency. Too much technical stuff that regular people wont understand.

Someone should just be nice and confirm them for me vs trying to get even more money out of a user. I can wait if i need to, been waiting this long. Was just hoping there was an easy way to get stuff done

How important is it to you that they get confirmed?

There are large mining pools that are willing to take payment out-of-band to get transactions confirmed rather quickly.

Not sure exactly how much they'll want, but it looks like you've got about 35.5 kB of transactions there. I suspect that they'd be willing to accept 200 satoshis per byte for including all three of your transactions in their next block. That would be 0.070972 BTC.

Are you willing to send 0.070972 BTC to get your transactions confirmed quickly?  If so, contact macbook-air and make him an offer. See if he takes you up on it or makes a counter offer. He is associated with F2Pool and has the ability to choose transactions to add to their blocks.

I suspect they could get your transactions confirmed within 2 hours (probably less).  They solve about 20% (1 out of 5) of all blocks in the blockchain right now.

Rebraodcast all the transactions so i guess now its just a waiting game. Appreciate everyone trying to help

As far as I know (but I can't find a confirmation online) blockchain.info's wallet stops broadcasting after a few days if it doesn't get confirmed. The funds will be back in your wallet, and you can try again with a higher fee.
Unless you're in a rush, I suggest you just wait.

Luckybit is a plinko site and all the small inputs you see are the return bets i received back from betting there. Currently using blockchain wallet

Your transactions:
1: 9221 bytes, 0.2 mBTC fee.
2. 18074 bytes, 0.2 mBTC fee.
3. 8191 bytes, 1.0 mBTC fee.

The problem is your huge number of inputs. This creates a large transaction, and requires a higher fee. I had a quick look at it on blockchain.info, and you have a lot of inputs of a few mBTC or even half a mBTC (AKA "dust"). A minimum fee would be a 0.2 mBTC per 1000 bytes to get a fast confirmation.
My Bitcoin Core currently says: 0.10203 mBTC/kB gives an estimated confirmation within 25 blocks. Your third transaction reaches this fee.

You can double spend the coins with a higher fee. I've done it from Bitcoin Core, but it may be easier to wait a bit longer. What wallet do you use now?

Me being curious:
Why did you withdraw small amounts so many times, instead of a bigger amount at once? I'm not familiair with Lucky Bit, did it come from a faucet or something?

Guess your tx fee was too low. In this case go to several sites here and push that tx on those sites.

The 1st and 3rd were accepted but the 2nd 1 gave me this message

I just edited my post above. Forgot to add the links for that 'this, this, and this', my bad.
If a transaction have already been broadcasted to bc.i you just need to add ?format=hex after the blockchain link. Some wallets allows you to get the raw transaction too.

This is asking for the tx in hex form. How do i get that?

What wallet are you using? If you're using core then you don't need to broadcast them manually because core does it automatically.

If you're using some other wallet then copy this, this, and this and save them. Then rebroadcast those transactions using https://coinb.in/#broadcast every several hours.

Edit:
Forgot to add the links. Whoops.

Between the 26th and the 27th i sent a couple transactions as you can see in the txids its been a long wait for the confirms. I dont know how to do all the rebroadcasting stuff in hex for or all that so if someone could tell me step by step how to get these confirmed thatd be great
