Today all the payments I sent are unconfirmed or have a yellow error that says "unconfirmed parent"
How many "
unconfirmed parent" transactions are these?
Based from the context, those must be a result of your previous transaction's change being used as input by your next transaction.
(
repeat in the next transactions)
So, the broadcast error might not be a simple "
not 1sat/vB higher than the original"
but a case of "
you'll have to pay the total fee of all the transactions to be replaced".
Means that if the transaction that you're trying to bump with RBF is the parent of your other transactions, it also has to pay with at least the total absolute fee of all of its children txns and Electrum doesn't add that requirement by default, only the mandatory additional fee that'll pay for its bandwidth.
If you successfully set the required fee and broadcasted it, its children txns will be invalidated by the replacement.
So consider it if those other payments are important.
The best course of action is to identify which is the latest child transaction among those "
unconfirmed parent" transactions. (
look at the balance next to amount)
Then, bump that child with a very high fee that'll make miners consider including its parent transactions to their block (
basically a manual CPFP)
Without the txids, only you can compute for the best fee rate to use.
But based from the current state of mempools, now is not a good time to bump unless you're in a rush.
