under blockchain how can i change the fee? i usually just press send and let them choose the fees. have never had this issue.
There is a link on the send dialog that says "customise fee"... Use that or "priority fee"
I sent bitcoins from blockchain.info to binance exchange, its been three days. previous transaction using the sat/b fee's went thru ok, so i assumed this transaction would too.
transaction info is here blockchain.info/tx/6af5a2353258604070564969fc7629f128e69e280a8214ddfdd27db415fda59d
- You don't have control of the receiving wallet, so CPFP is not an option.
- I don't believe that b.info provides any RBF facility
- Fee was 90 sats/byte... so ViaBTC is an option, but VERY difficult to get in these days... I am about 99% convinced that the AntPool accelerator no longer works (most likely due to abuse
)
- I believe b.info does enable you to export private keys (or at least has a recovery seed which you can use to get private keys), so exporting and importing into another wallet that would allow you to create a double spend is a possibility.
transaction id: 709c8e5894b8eb55b4a7dcc222c88a000578dcb179a5dff06db40af7630a99cb
wallet software: Bitcoin Armory 0.96.3.99 (was 0.96.0 at the original time of sending) in conjunction with Bitcoin Core version v0.15.1 on windows 10
mempool: yes, i have checked
http://www.mocacinno.com/page/getraw, entered my transaction id, and i was shown the raw transaction, so this transaction is in your mempool
something strange: As far as I can tell, no. I tried clearing/abandoning the transaction after 3 days in Armory, and then tried to do a double spend, but there was a mempool conflict and it wouldn't let me broadcast the transaction attempt. So now I'm either stuck waiting for the transaction to be abandoned by nodes around the world, or just trying to push it through I guess?
Any advice on how to proceed here would be awesome! Just not sure how long it's going to take to have the transaction abandoned, so if it's possible to push it through, would just prefer that then. Cheers!
Armory is a fairly complex client... I suspect that the issue with resending is just that your transaction is still in the mempool of various nodes... Unfortunately you cannot do anything about their setup and when they choose to drop your transaction.
Given your transaction is also in mocacinno's mempool, it would appear your transaction is fairly well propagated.
Try ViaBTC... Very difficult at the moment, or wait it out... Not much else that can be done
Possibly try broadcasting your double spend via some of the broadcast services here:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_broadcasting291 sats/byte fee... Not the worst fee in the world, it's just that fees are ridiculously large at the moment
There is a chance your transaction will confirm "naturally", but likely to take a few more days
Unless you want to try a CPFP, your best bet is ViaBTC (maybe AntPool, but like I've previously mentioned, I'm fairly certain AntPool no longer works)
Given the massive chain of unconfirmed transactions, there really isn't anything you can do but wait... Unless you feel like paying $$$ to attempt the mother of all CPFP transactions!
Also, the reason your transaction doesn't show anywhere is because a lot of nodes don't like creating long unconfirmed chains, I believe the default limit is like 20-25... Some nodes will only hold a few... Once the parents start confirming, your transaction will eventually show up.
The service you are using is fundamentally broken. They need to fix their shit and start batching transactions rather than creating stupidly long chains of unconfirmed transactions.
If I were you, I'd seriously consider using a different service in the future if they don't change their system!
If I understand correctly, I now have to create a new transaction from Electrum. I enter the same address in 'pay to' and the same amount. Then send the transaction and broadcast it? Is that all?
No. Double spending requires that you use the same inputs... If you just create a new transaction without knowing what you're doing, you could spend "different" coins and end up sending 2 payments! Best wait for mocacinno to help!
Thanks. As far as actually paying to accelerate ($72 to btc or $40 to viabtc), is there any difference between doing with any of them? Looks like btc.com I just pay online with a credit card and I have e-mailed viabtc, but haven't received any answer. Also, do you think I could pay for this and my transaction still not be processed?
Not really any difference... Check which one has the most hash rate here (
www.btc.com) they're theoretically more likely to find a block...
The is always a chance you pay and nothing happens... Although these services are a lot more reputable than the other pay to accelerate services like confirmtx.com etc... Btc.com and ViaBTC are both large, well known mining pools and as legit as you get in the crypto world
Again, for my transaction, I am both the sender and receiver. What other methods do i have?
If you're sending/receiving from a "proper" wallet with coin control and control of private keys etc... You can probably CPFP, double spend and possibly RBF
transaction id: 3471bffae48a22a14d7791a24aa95a992b44116179cd7ad9e1b0c502fa6f26c7
sender/receiver: both
addresses: 12khGTi51tRpK4xNYuaxCyK4qEZ5FoiA75 is the sending address, 33QGRwsykMm6UAHNjjvG3YU5JNNe6tMZdg is the receiving address
wallet software: sending wallet is blockchain.info, receiving end is a kraken exchange account
As above..
- You don't have control of the receiving wallet, so CPFP is not an option.
- I don't believe that b.info provides any RBF facility
- Fee was 65 sats/byte... so ViaBTC is an option, but VERY difficult to get in these days... I am about 99% convinced that the AntPool accelerator no longer works (most likely due to abuse
)
- I believe b.info does enable you to export private keys (or at least has a recovery seed which you can use to get private keys), so exporting and importing into another wallet that would allow you to create a double spend is a possibility.
