Thank you for answer,

I guess now it is just a matter of waiting for the network to "forget", I appreciate the time,  just last question, if I used viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to accelerate to transactions, will I be "recalling" the transaction and by doing so I will be making the "Forget" process longer ?

regards,

Using the Via Accelerator, will cause the Via Mining Pool to include your transactions in their next mined block. If you use this, you likely won't need to wait for it to be forgotten as it should confirm more quickly using this process.

the Electrum documents have very good information which is going to be useful if you read it when you get some time.

1. yes you can. remember the order is important and double check to make sure you have written it correctly.
http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#what-is-the-seed

2. no you cannot cancel a transaction. you could have marked them as replaceable before making them so that you could increase the fee in case it was needed. http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#my-transaction-has-been-unconfirmed-for-a-long-time-what-can-i-do
right now you have to wait for them to confirm or wait so that network "forgets" about them (tx dropping out of mempool).
you can also use viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ to accelerate it.

Thank you Kolloh,

I have two questions:

1: I have my seed for the account, if I remove electrum and reinstall it to my computer, will I be able to get my account back using my seed? or what elso do I need?

2: these transaccions is there any way to cancel them of speed up the process so all the credit comes back to my account?, if so can you share it with me ?

regards.

This looks like a bug in Blockchain.info.

Both of these transactions load on another explorer:
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/c220fdd80e7d4584490b70a0b42ef9578e55b527756944832b99f12386deea1f

The fees on these transactions are quite low at 50 sat/byte. Please make sure you are running the latest version of Electrum and use the Dynamic Fee option ( which should be default ) to help ensure that good sized fees are used.

Hello there,
I made two transactions using Electrum(downloaded from oficial source, Linux version), they both remain on Unconfirmed Status, so I decided to look for a the reason and ended it on this: https://blockchain.info/address/c220fdd80e7d4584490b70a0b42ef9578e55b527756944832b99f12386deea1f
and the other transaction is https://blockchain.info/address/82bcba9e5d18917e6fdb316de3877e4e95a0952746fc6f4e26193c5095c8852a,

 Illegal character 0 at position 3 and 35

I would like to know if that is the reason of the the Status still remaining as Unconfirmed and what can be the solution.

Is this a bug in Electrum?

regards,
