To all those that have stuck transactions, try a child pays for parent if you're doing this using Electrum for instance. Don't go paying crazy amounts for paid accelerators if you don't need to!
Details here:
https://data-dive.com/unconfirmed-bitcoin-transactions-electrumBasically, what you do, or what I did, is you pay yourself your entire BTC balance in Electrum with a high enough fee for it to pass quickly. This will include previous outputs that have not been confirmed yet (hence the child (new tx) pays for the parent (the stuck one)).
I did this 10 minutes ago and my stuck tx is now being confirmed.
Would this work to use the confirmed amount to pay for it? Basically have 0 balance but a few pending transfers that are stuck cause low tx, I tried all these free ones with no results yet. 50-100 satoshi fees. Can I use child payment thing with the money I would get when it confirms?

The only way to find out is to try, its 50/50 IMO, it is worth trying.
Thanks confused by this part :
"Go on and enter one of your receiving addresses in the "Pay to" field. Additionally, make sure to add an appropriate fee for the transaction. This is the crucial part! To determine the fee go to
https://bitcoinfees.21.co and look up their dynamic recommendation.
Now, find out the combined size of both your transaction. For your unconfirmed one, go back to the "history" tab and check the "size" field in the details. For the current one, click the "Preview" button. Add those numbers and multiply by the recommended fee per byte. This gives you a good idea of the total fee you should now enter in Electrum. If there is no field to enter a fee manually but only a slider, make sure to check the "Edit fees manually" box in the preferences. Sign and broadcast your transaction."
Size for me shows 223 bytes on unconfirmed and 192 byes on child. So add those and multiple by like 500 satoshi?
I didn't bother calculating the fees. Use the latest electrum version (I'm on mac, ver 3.0.3) and make sure you use dynamic fees. Do 2 things:
1st: enable RBF (Replace-By-Fee). This allows you to adjust your fees even after your tx has been sent (it's in electrum settings, set it to "always").
2nd: just create a new payment to your receiving address with the full balance of your wallet. Make sure "replaceable" is checked (it's the RBF). I let the fee slider at default (not fully to the right, just one tick before), I was at 560 sat/byte which was just slightly less than what the bitcoinfees website says was the cheapest/quickest fee. Took about 30-45 minutes for my child and parent tx to be confirmed fully.
Any help would be much appreciated.
, tips are almost non existent and it is worth my while doing only paid accelerations.
